On Saturday, Gordeuk issued an apology for her remarks, which she said were made 'in the emotional state of trying to let this last student finish his speech' after inadvertently skipping it.
'Frustrated with the prospect of ruining the once-in-a-lifetime ceremony the graduates have worked so hard for, my emotions got the best of me and that is when I blurted out "you people are being so rude to not listen to this speech,"' Gordeuk wrote in an apology letter, obtained by NBC News.
In relation to her slur about 'all the black people' leaving, she said: 'When I looked up all I saw was black families leaving, and thus the comment.' She added: 'I deeply apologize for my actions.'
In an interview with
WSB, Gordeuk went on to say that she does not believe her statement was racist.
'It was not a statement of racism, it was just my frustration,' she said.
Since the incident, Gordeuk says the video has made her a target and that she hasn't been able to eat or sleep - but she's hoping to put it all behind her.
'I'm sorry it happened. So sorry. But God has forgiven me and we'll just go forward from there,' she said.
What good Gordeuk's apology might have done was quickly negated by a Facebook post from a man who appears to be her son, Travis Gordeuk.
On Saturday, Travis came to his mother's aide writing a post using yet a racial slur.
''If anyone has something to say about my mom and how she ran her graduation, come say it to my face...Yall n***** aren't talkin shit so if u got something to say come see me face to face,' Travis wrote.
