Although audio from the video does sound like she said, “What’s up my nigga?” Turner says that the word she used was “motherfuckers.”

“I used the word ‘motherfuckers’ in a recent video posted in an Instagram story, and not a hateful racial slur that has been suggested,” the Game of Thrones actress said. “I am incredibly upset that anyone would think otherwise, and I want to make it clear that I would never use such an abhorrent word.”

One user on Twitter slowed down the audio and says she didn’t use the n-word:

The fan account, which was dedicated to Turner updates, says it will no longer update the account with anything pertaining to her because of her previous controversies.
