Hilary Swank on Disastrous Chechnya Birthday Appearance: “Shame On Me”

VIDEO

(NBC)

On Friday, Hilary Swank made her first major media appearance since controversially wishing Chechnya’s bad guy president, Ramzan Kadyrov, a happy birthday during a visit to that country in October.

Swank told “Tonight Show” host Jay Leno about her ill-fated trip, which she says began with an offer to help promote peace in a war-torn region and ended with her expressing deep “regret” over inadvertently celebrating an alleged human rights violator.

The Oscar-winning actress tells Leno that organizations had sent warnings about Kadyrov before Swank went to Chechnya, but “they weren’t shared with me.”

“Shame on me,” says Swank. “The bottom line is, I should know where I’m going.”

    Yes she should, but thankfully she has some brains and admitted to making an ill advised appearance. Now, if the rest of the stupid ‘IGNORANT’ celebrities would READ about where they are going before they run off to take a buck. The only thing with Swank, she should have not pushed the blame ELSEWHERE with ‘I did not get the mail’ bit on people warning her. She goes off to another continent, READ, READ READ!!!!!
