A week after the tweets resurfaced in April, Friedle "apologized to me 22 years ago and again days ago in a in a three-page letter." She added, "Will apologized to me and I forgave him, I then apologized to him for making the statements public because his joke came out of just not knowing, not viciousness and he forgave me. That's what friends do."

Trina also said that she and Fishel now have a "decent relationship" after the latter apologized to her in a tweet. Speaking to to Yahoo Entertainment, Trina shared, "We did discuss it recently, because she called me to apologize. She was going through a lot at the time on a person level.
