The wife of socialist New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has apologized for various controversial tweets she posted on social media as a teenager. <\/p>\n

Rama Duwaji referred to the controversy in an interview<\/a> with Hyperallergic magazine that was published Wednesday. <\/p>\n

‘I’ve read and seen a lot of what others have had to say in response, and I understand the hurt I caused and am truly sorry.’ <\/p>\n

Duwaji was asked an unrelated question about the effect that becoming a public figure had on her as a person, and she included her apology for the past posts. <\/p>\n

“This experience has absolutely changed my life. I am still figuring out how it applies to me as an artist and as a person, both thinking of the future and the past,” she said. <\/p>\n

“It has forced me to confront how much I’ve changed, even before this moment. When a tabloid recently published old tweets I wrote as a teenager, I felt a lot of shame being confronted with language I used that is so harmful to others; being 15 doesn’t excuse it,” Duwaji added. <\/p>\n

“I’ve read and seen a lot of what others have had to say in response, and I understand the hurt I caused and am truly sorry,” she concluded.<\/p>\n

The anti-Israel posts were documented<\/a> by a Washington Free Beacon report in March. Among them were messages of support for Palestinian terrorism and criticism of U.S. soldiers fighting in “imperialist wars.” <\/p>\n

Another message appeared to include<\/a> a gay slur and another used<\/a> the N-word as well. <\/p>\n

When the mayor was asked about the controversy, he responded that his wife was a “private person, who has held no position in my campaign or in my city hall.” <\/p>\n

While Duwaji apologized for the teenage tweets, she did not mention a report<\/a> that she allegedly “liked” posts in support of the Hamas terror attack on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023. <\/p>\n

“My focus isn’t on being a public figure, but continuing my work with care and responsibility, and allowing my art to speak for itself,” Duwaji added. <\/p>\n

The mayor’s wife is a Syrian-American artist who was born in Texas. She met Mamdani on the Hinge dating app in 2021, and they were married in 2025. <\/p>\n
