RuPaul's Drag Race alum Jade Jolie has issued an apology for an appearance in a 2013 porn film with a Nazi theme.
The season five queen has previously spoken openly about her porn past but came in for significant criticism after an old film resurfaced on social media.
In the movie, which was recorded when Jolie was aged roughly 25 or 26, she is pictured in army uniform performing a Nazi salute before engaging in intercourse with her co-stars.
In a lengthy statement on social media, Jolie wrote: "I am so thankful for all the love and support I've received today. I am also thankful for the comments I've received holding me accountable for my previous actions.
"When I was in my younger youth, I was down on my luck financially and did adult film work to survive.
"During one of the shoots I was involved in, I was asked to portray a nazi soldier in a scene. Against my better judgement and with an abusive partner pushing me to say yes, I chose to participate and I have felt shame and regret for that decision every day.
"My shame has also prevented me from speaking about my decision and making an apology. I realize now that avoiding this is only more damaging to the Jewish community and the people who have been hurt by this.
"I take full accountability for my choices and understand that what I did was wrong, regardless of the circumstances. I do not support antisemitism, racism, or bigotry in any way and I apologize sincerely to anyone who I have hurt.
"I hope moving forward I can show you that I'm not someone who is above taking accountability for the things I may be ashamed of."
Jolie will next be seen competing on the new season of The Boulet Brothers' Dragula.
