This week, Meghan Trainor caught a lot of heat after some harsh comments she made on her and her brother Ryan's podcast.

The two hosts of the Workin' on It podcast sat down with Trisha Paytas and talked about motherhood and raising children.

Trainor shared she plans on homeschooling her kids.

"Everyone on TikTok is like, 'This is what it's like having kids in America. I have a bulletproof backpack'."
"I was like, 'F**k all that'."

We get it—it's a terrifying reality.

Paytas agreed and added:

"That, and also kids can be mean - teachers..."

Trainor chimed in:

"F**k teachers, dude."

People on Twitter—especially educators and those who have no option but to send their children to public school—were not amused.

In response to the online backlash, Trainor issued an apology via TikTok.

She shared:

"Teachers of TikTok and teachers of the world, I recently said, 'F teachers,' on a podcast, and that's not how I feel."
"I was fired up because I was talking about how sending your kid to school here in America is so horrific. What all of us have to go through—especially teachers—is not normal and not okay."

The "All about that Bass" singer added she did not have a positive experience with her own teachers, claiming she was "bullied by some teachers."

"In that moment, I got angry and said, 'F teachers'. F those specific human beings back in the day."

She then said:

"I am so sorry to any teachers I made feel bad, and I will remind myself that my words definitely could have a consequence and I will be more careful."

@meghantrainor

@galsgotmoxie thank you for making your video and for bringing attention to this. I am sorry for being careless with my words. I LOVE teachers and I am here for you ❤️ Let’s work to make schools a better place together

Many viewers weren't buying it.

People noted the podcast was not aired live meaning the inclusion of the statement was an intentional choice.











In the caption of her TikTok, Trainor thanked a viewer for calling her out.

"@galsgotmoxie thank you for making your video and for bringing attention to this."
"I am sorry for being careless with my words."
"I LOVE teachers and I am here for you ❤️"
"Let's work to make schools a better place together."

Dem Rep. Offers Brutally Accurate Reason For Why He Can't Understand 'The Mind Of Donald Trump'

Massachusetts Democratic Representative Seth Moulton made a fitting observation about President Donald Trump's mind after Trump gave a 20-minute address to the nation about his war in Iran on Wednesday evening.

Trump claimed “core strategic objectives are nearing completion” in the Iran war and vowed to strike Iran "extremely hard" over the next two to three weeks. He said that he would finish the job "very fast," without setting any timeline for ending the war. He pledged to "bring them [Iranians] back to the Stone Ages, where they belong.”

Videos Of Squirrels Trying To 'Vape' Are Going Viral—And We Don't Know Whether To Laugh Or Cry

Some viral videos come along that leave us unsure whether we should laugh or cry. In the case of squirrels trying to vape, crying is unfortunately the more likely outcome.

E-cigarettes have dramatically increased in popularity in recent years and are often even portrayed as a cool accessory on social media. Unfortunately, disposable, one-time-use e-cigarettes have been made affordable and easily accessible, and instead of properly disposing of them, people often leave them on the ground like cigarette butts.
