The headstrong , who has long promoted diversity and civil rights, slammed the comments as "heinous."
Lisa told : “I do not condone any of the heinous comments made in the past by Max and Brett and I am glad they understand the severity of their offences and have shown utmost remorse and contrition.
“I embrace a community of diversity and do not tolerate bigotry of any form within my workplace.
“Max and Brett are both appropriately ashamed of their past obnoxious teenage arrogance and casual use of unacceptable terms.
"While both have now matured as adults, they have shown remorse for their prior reckless defamatory statements.”
She added: “I do sincerely believe both have learned the power and impact words can have, and I have every hope this will be a lifelong lesson for them as we move into this new decade."

“Max is a newbie, and nobody cares if he’s kicked off the show.”

He later addressed his comments in a statement to People, saying: "I want to sincerely apologize for what I tweeted in 2012 — it was wrong on every level
