Bette Midler is known for speaking her mind, but a now-deleted tweet has landed her in hot water. Now, she is apologizing for it.

In the controversial tweet Thursday, the "Hocus Pocus" actress, 72, wrote "women, are the n-word of the world."

She continued: "Raped, beaten, enslaved, married off, worked like dumb animals; denied education and inheritance; enduring the pain and danger of childbirth and life IN SILENCE for THOUSANDS of years They are the most disrespected creatures on earth."

Penis envy and a white supremacist attitude are terrible things there, Bette.
