Interestingly, a non-celebrity, a teenager has shown the example of speaking her truth and refusing to give as you put it “forced apologies”; Sam Brownback is refusing to apologize even if it would be politically or socially expedient; from CNN:

“A high school senior, who faces a Monday morning deadline to apologize to Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback for a disparaging tweet, has said she will not write the apology letter.

“I don’t think I should write the letter, and I don’t think it would be the best move for me,” Emma Sullivan, 18, said late Sunday night. “At this time, I do not think an apology would be a sincere thing for me to do.”

Now if only the rest of society would figure it out. Forced apologies and political correctness has made us way too sensitive.

But in the case of celebrities, those with broken egos love forcing them to apologize because it means they can exert some kind of power over someone to make themselves feel better.
