MTV Apologizes for Transphobic Jersey Shore Reunion Segment

Last week, MTV aired its Jersey Shore Reunion Special, which featured one of the most blatantly transphobic scenes aired anywhere on television in the last few years.

We reached out to MTV with our concerns, and the network has now apologized for the incident. MTV said in a statement:

    We appreciate GLAAD voicing concern about the "Jersey Shore" reunion special. The segment in question was certainly not meant to be insensitive, but in retrospect we realize that it was offensive to some viewers.   We sincerely apologize.
