Vanessa Hudgens apologises for her coronavirus death comment
The actor negatively commented about coronavirus and later backtracked with an apology.
Vanessa Hudgens shared a video on her socials questioning the seriousness of the coronavirus pandemic.
In the now infamous video, the 'Powerless' star told her fans: "It's a virus I get it like I respect it, but at the same time, like even if everybody gets it, like yeah, people are gonna die, which is terrible."
Her video followed USA President Donald Trump's announcement on the 17th of March that this pandemic could stretch to July/August.
