I also apologize for insulting African Americans whose ancestors were slaves," Hauser said in a statement to CNN.

Yates, who is Black, told CNN that renting out the renovated cabin is"an egregious leveling up of this atrocity of just disrespecting and making a mockery of what is the slave experience because we're in a country where we're still experiencing the repercussions of slavery."
