She sort of did then backtracked on the apology part.
Quote:
As we mentioned yesterday, former TNA Knockout Havok had been at the center of controversy surrounding tweets from years ago that featured racist and homophobic remarks.
Havoc apologized for the comments, but later deleted the apology. She's been at the Performance Center in Orlando for a WWE tryout this week. She also deleted the offensive tweets in question.
According to Bryan Alvarez of Wrestling Observer Radio, Havoc had been impressing those who were conducting the tryouts in Orlando. Many were comparing her to the likes of Awesome Kong/Kharma, and were very optimistic about her future.
Apparently the company and everyone at the tryouts found out about the offensive tweets while she was in the ring. Dave Meltzer noted that the situation did her no favors, and Alvarez described it as the "roof caving in." The hosts then encouraged up-and-coming wrestlers to not say stupid things on Twitter.
The 28-year old Havok spent a few months with TNA before finishing up with the company in February.

Briscoe Bros were in a very similar situation where the WWE was really interested in signing them but unlike with Havok, the homophobic tweets were done right as the WWE was preparing for their upcoming tryout and/or meeting. Don't think they ever apologized for it though.
