Katherine Heigl apologises for ‘disrespectful’ selfies she took next to gravestones
In a video the Knocked Up actress said she realised her actions were ‘not appropriate’
KATHERINE Heigl has apologised for taking selfies in front of gravestones and posting them on Instagram.
She took the bizarre pictures and put them online on Sunday night – prompting an outcry from her fans.
Katherine, 39, was visiting the grave of her brother who passed away in a car accident aged 16.
During her visit to the cemetery with husband Josh Kelley, 38, she posed for a series of pictures.
After removing the snaps, Katherine apologised in a video and posted it online.
The Knocked Up actress said: “I noticed on my Instagram page that the post I posted earlier was getting a lot of reaction, and I realised you guys are right.
“It was not appropriate and it was disrespectful and I've taken it down.
“It’s kind of a heavy thing to go and visit my loved ones' graves, and I decided to find some moments of levity and humour and didn’t realise how inappropriate I was being.
“I deeply apologise and I thank you guys for understanding that sometimes I don’t think things through clearly enough and I am grateful for your input and for giving me a heads up when I’m maybe going too far.”
She added: “Thank you for forgiving me. Next time I will be more thoughtful about other people’s feelings and not just my own.”
The pictures posted online by Katherine included her grinning and pointing at a statue of an angel.
Another showed her husband posing next to a gravestone with his last name engraved onto it.
Katherine also took a picture of herself next to grandfather’s grave.
