by

Social media influencer and podcast presenter, Avery Woods, clarified her reasoning behind a contentious statement regarding faith and extended an apology for any offence caused, acknowledging that personal beliefs may differ.

The ‘CHEERS! with Avery Woods’ podcast episode, which aired on February 10, became widely popular following the spread of a humorous remark made by TikToker Avery Woods about Jesus.

During their chat with Harry Jowsey from Too Hot To Handle, Woods steered the conversation towards the topic of religious beliefs and the common practice among women of sharing Bible verses in their social media profiles.

Avery Woods, a non-religious girl, expressed on her podcast that those who post hateful comments yet have Scripture in their bios will be subjected to Jesus’ disapproval, followed by an expletive, before laughing about it.

Audience members expressed strong disapproval towards Woods’ comments, voicing their anger on Spotify, following the release of the episode.

“Oh this is bad, very very bad,” one said. “I couldn’t even listen to this,” another added.

One individual sharing the same name as Woods allegedly reported a decrease of approximately 30,000 followers on TikTok, leading people to mistakenly believe that she was the podcast host due to their shared name on social media platforms.

Avery Woods apologizes after religious comment

After facing criticism, Woods apologized on TikTok, expressing that she is learning from her mistakes and intends to improve.

In an effort to avoid causing offense or disrespect, let me clarify that my podcast is primarily comedic in nature. Unfortunately, I recently made a joke that unintentionally stepped over the boundary of what’s appropriate.

I deeply apologize. It’s never my intention to criticize or disrespect anyone’s religious beliefs, as we have numerous religious and faithful individuals among us who matter greatly. Some jokes cross the line, and I sincerely wish I hadn’t made those in question.

Woods went on to clarify, treading carefully around blame. ‘My interaction with Harry was pre-planned. The questions were prepared by the production team. In hindsight, I could’ve voiced my thoughts more and perhaps toned things down a bit.’

She mentioned that the humor she uses, specifically targeting women who include Bible verses in their social media profiles, is directed at those who often criticize her the most on the internet. As she elaborated, these individuals frequently send her harsh, offensive messages. However, she emphasized that her religious comments are nothing out of the ordinary for her.

In a subsequent comment, the TikToker apologized, explaining that her remarks were inappropriate and unnecessary. She went on to acknowledge that her sense of humor might not resonate with everyone, so for those who disliked her content, she suggested they block her.

Despite their doubts, viewers generally felt that her demeanor was “unrepentant” and perceived her as being “dishonest.

Besides Woods, not just the woods, other social media influencers have found themselves in a stir as well. For instance, Twitch streamer Kai Cenat sparked controversy when he alleged that Kendrick Lamar added crowd noises to his Super Bowl LIX performance to make it seem like they were interacting. This has led some online users to doubt the validity of his statement.

In response to Cenat’s query, Lamar’s team at Top Dawg Entertainment explained that the streamer was upset because the rapper had denied him access to his suite during the game.
