The video caused instant backlash and thousands of calls to her employer demanding she lose her job.
In a moment of reflection, Ponce realized she “behaved badly” and has changed her tune.
“I want to take full responsibility for my actions and say clearly and sincerely that I was wrong. I behaved badly, and I regret it deeply,” Ponce told the news outlet.
A GiveSendGo, a Christian crowdfunding website, has raised over $200,00 for Beeman.
