Podcaster Amanda Hirsch apologizes after posting partner content connected to the betting platform Polymarket in relation to the Lindsay Clancy verdict. Hirsch says she posted the content despite it being “insensitive” and “wrong,” and expresses regret for not recognizing the context at the time. Her apology comes after public backlash over the sponsored material.
Both reports say Hirsch’s statements follow an earlier social media post that has since been deleted. In her apology, she says, “I should have known better,” and adds that she “feel[s] sick” she did not see the issue “in the moment.” The coverage focuses on how the sponsorship was perceived rather than on the underlying legal decision itself.
The outlets differ mainly in wording and framing: Variety describes the content as partner-sponsored and characterizes Hirsch’s reaction as an apology for being “insensitive” and “wrong,” while The Independent highlights her apology for being “insensitive.” Neither source indicates that Polymarket itself has responded in the reporting cited here.
