Actress Ellie Kemper issued an apology, Monday, for taking part in the Veiled Prophet Ball in 1999, after allegations surfaced on social media that the ball was affiliated with racists, sexists, and the Confederacy — with some Twitter commentators even going so far as to call Kemper a “KKK Princess” for attending the ball more than two decades ago.
Kemper noted in her apology, posted to Instagram, that she did not know, in 1999, that the organization had a controversial history but admitted that “ignorance is no excuse.”
