Paris Jackson has apologized for appearing on the cover of Harper’s Bazaar Singapore after she was criticized for the choice.

Jamie Tabberer, an entertainment editor at Gay Star News, penned an op-ed questioning Jackson’s decision to be the cover star in a country where marriage is illegal. Jackson, 20, publicly announced she is bisexual in July but says she came out when she was 14.

“The hypocrisy is absurd,” Tabberer writes. “Put simply, I don’t believe LGBTI allies or LGBTIs should be granting exclusives to publications in such countries. For the record, I’m not trying to trash her. I just want to know if she considers consenting to this cover a mistake. If she doesn’t, I respect her right to that opinion.”

Jackson noticed the article and deleted her post of the magazine cover on Instagram. She also issued an apology via Twitter.

“i didn’t know, i am sorry. i was grateful for the opportunity, but i’ll delete the post now. i don’t want to be hypocritical or hurt anyone, and my support for my fellow LGBTQ+ community comes first before my love for fashion and gratitude for this opportunity. again, i’m sorry,” Jackson writes. “i would like to add though that someone that is openly apart of the community being on the cover in a country against the community, should be celebrated. isn’t that a step forward? again, i am deeply sorry. i didn’t mean to be hypocritical or hurt anyone.
