Reality Television Psychotherapist Dr Robi Ludwig has taken to social media to explain that she was misunderstood over the weekend when she hypothesized that Santa Barbara spree killer Elliot Rodger may have been motivated by homosexual urges.
Dr Ludwig posted across various social media accounts including Twitter, Instagram and Facebook arguing that her comments on Fox News were misunderstood and she offered an apology for all who felt offended.
I was misunderstood on @FoxNews this weekend, when I was asked to hypothesize several factors which could have triggered ‪#‎ElliotRoger‬ ‘s spree killing. I in NO way meant to indicate being a homosexual or having homosexual impulses is a cause for spree killing. My job on @judgejeanine was to asses several possible triggers for #ElliotRoger and his behavior ‪#‎peace‬‪#‎forequalrights‬ However, I apologize to all those who felt offended. That was never my intention.
Dr Ludwig’s response has been greeted on social media with an fairly negative response with many commentators highlighting there was little information available for her to generate her theory.
