It’s become an all-too-familiar phenomenon: A well-known person’s name stays in the headlines day after day, as a controversy, usually of his or her own making, swirls through the news media. The past week or two, the sagas of “Birth of a Nation” director Nate Parker and Team USA swimmer Ryan Lochte have garnered a long string of headlines, and it’s not difficult to see why. Their circumstances are obviously quite different, but in some ways, their responses to controversy are not.
The reason so many celebrity apologies fall flat is because the people at the center of them don’t convey the idea that, on deep and important level, they’ve learned anything and feel profound regret. Sometimes saying sorry isn’t enough: There has to be a sense that the apologizer actually means it and has been forever altered by the experience they’ve been through.
