Julianne Hough Crossed the Line

Halloween is coming up this week and many people are wondering what they are going to dress up as. Julianne Hough decided to go to a New York Halloween party as the character "Crazy Eyes" from the new Netflix original series Orange is the New Black. The character "Crazy Eyes" is as you would guess, crazy.

Julianne Hough and a bunch of her friends decided to dress up as characters from this show. Julianne Hough was crazy eyes and dressed up in black face.

Julianne apologized on twitter saying that she didn't mean to offend anyone and was truly sorry.

I don't understand why she would do this. How could she think that no one would be offended by this. She put on black face to imitate a crazy black woman. The character may be from a TV show but to dress up in black face and mock a black character crosses a line.  

What do you think about this situation? Do you think Julianne Hough acted disrespectfully? What do you think was going through Julianne Hough's head when doing this?
