Writing on Facebook, Hennessey stated:
I own it. It’s all on me. I take full responsibility for the Chernika Johnson V Nina Houghs controversy. Not the Judges, not the sanctioned body. Me. I have apologized to all involved and now I apologize to you. I am sorry for what happened. Again I own it and can only try and do better next time. Not my best day in the office. I guess all the shitty coments on socials I have coming. Again I am crushed and sorry for my shitstorm of a preformance . You all deserved better. Sorry again
