Some people in the comments interpreted the greeting to have included the N-word. However Turner has since issued a statement denying this. 

“I used the word ‘motherf-ckers’ in a recent video posted in an Instagram story and not a hateful racial slur that has been suggested,” Turner 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.” she continued.
