Karlie Kloss says she's 'truly sorry' for 'insensitive' photo shoot for Vogue

When the March cover of Vogue's diversity issue was unveiled last week, people cried foul, insisting there was actually a lack of diversity among the seven cover stars. Among the models -- many of whom have since been referred to as "the most overused, most conventional-looking models" -- were Kendall Jenner, Gigi Hadid and Ashley Graham.

Kloss now agrees, and she took to Twitter Wednesday to apologize for participating. Read her full statement below:
