I finally watched that influencer's apology video frame by frame

The one from Chloe Vance last Tuesday. She kept looking down and to the left, which a body language expert on YouTube says is a classic sign of reading a script, not speaking from the heart. The 'I'm sorry you were hurt' phrasing felt like a total non-apology too. Has anyone else noticed celebs using that exact line more often lately?

It's not just celebs. My boss used that same "sorry you were hurt" line in a team email after a bad decision. It's a corporate script now, a way to sound like you care without taking real blame. The body language thing tracks too, they all look like they're reading from a legal note.

My old company's HR department had a whole list of these fake apology phrases. Honestly it's just damage control with nicer words.

Your boss actually used that line in an email?

My eyes dart left when I'm just thinking hard.
