(CNN) YouTube star Jenna Mourey, known by her channel name Jenna Marbles, announced Thursday she is leaving the platform amid a controversy over racially offensive videos. "I feel like we're at a time where we are purging ourselves of anything and everything toxic," she said in a video titled "A Message," in which she apologized for racist and sexist content. "It was not my intention to do blackface," she said of the Minaj impersonation. "I do want to tell you how unbelievably sorry I am if I ever offended you by posting this video or by doing this impression, and that that was never my intention. She added that the rap song, which included the lyric "Hey Ching Chong Wing Wong, shake your King Kong ding dong," was "inexcusable" and "shouldn't have existed."
