She usually does a great job at steering clear of drama, but Hilary Swank caught herself in the middle of a controversial situation last week.
The “Million Dollar Baby” actress attended the birthday concert celebration of Chechen President Ramzan Kaydrov, who is notorious for violating human rights.
But, luckily Hilary realized her mistake and released a statement saying, "I deeply regret attending this event, which has thrown into question my long and deeply-held commitment to the protection of human rights.”
"I would never intentionally do anything that raised doubts about such commitment. I will continue to donate my time and my financial resources not only to the charities with which I am currently affiliated, but also those dedicated to the preservation of human rights. If I had a full understanding of what this event was apparently intended to be, I would never have gone," the statement continued.
