Fox spoke on the Breakfast Club promoting the reality competition show, to say that gay men would not be welcome in her strip club.

Taking to Instagram, Fox wrote that she had always been a “supporter” of the LGBT community.

She wrote: I’ve been a FRIEND n supporter of the LGBT community for years!

“My intention was not to offend anyone and I’m woman enough to apologize if you felt that way.”

“My show has already been taped and I was just doing something for the ladies but all are welcome to enjoy Vivica’s Black Magic Show! It’s HAWT… I’m all about LOVE not HATE dawling! Have a blessed day.

When asked why she said gay guys would not be welcome, she said “there’s no need… It’s called the ultimate girl’s night out for a reason.”

Jean-Clause LaMarre, the director and producer of Black Magic, hit back at Fox’s comments.

“The comments were out of order, and it does not represent our attitudes toward the LGBT community. All are welcome,” he said before confirming he would no longer work with the actor.
