It’s who she is, and she’s not walking that part of herself back in light of what’s happened. It’s hard to trust when you have somebody that believes that what you believe is wrong."
Despite deleting the post, fans made sure to remind Hidalgo of what she had done and who she had insulted.
The racket is still ringing and reverberating 10 months later.
Considering how many players in the league are in the community, the star was asked if she was a homophobe, which she vehemently denied.
“I don’t want anyone to think I’m apologetic for my faith, but what I am sorry for is that I hurt people and that I hurt people closest to me,” Hidalgo said. I have teammates that I play with every single day, practice with them every day that are homosexual too. Among the group was Olivia Miles, who took a not-so-subtle shot at Hidalgo on her way out of South Bend.
Miles reposted a TikTok video stating, "Treating people right is better than posting Bible verses you don’t even practice." She then added her own caption to the video that read "Can't treat people bad then hide behind religion."
A few days after Miles' TikTok, players leaving the program, her former coach Muffett McGraw calling the post "insulting," and months of scrutiny on social media for sharing the Owens clip, Hidalgo addressed the situation in a letter published in The Player's Tribune.
Hidalgo wrote about the difficulty of trying to navigate life as a 19-year-old while becoming more well-known in the media world before talking about the post she shared to Instagram.
"When you’re 19 years old and trying to figure your life out, and you start to get buzz on social media – when you suddenly have a platform – it can be really overwhelming," Hidalgo wrote.
"It’s a learning process.
“Absolutely not.
“What I reposted hurt a lot of people,” Hidalgo said. Nothing is ever good enough for some people who already have their opinions made up about a person, even if that person is a 19-year-old.

Not a lot of noise. But realizing that I had this new responsibility and that I’d let people down, given the wrong impression, maybe even hurt people I care about – that got me spiraling," she continued in the letter.
She then went on to call her sharing of the Owens clip a "mistake" and told the world that she loves "all people."
"I grew a lot from the conversations I had coming off that mistake, especially with friends I was afraid I’d hurt.
Former Notre Dame head coach Muffet McGraw shared her thoughts, stating it was "almost insulting" to Hidalgo's teammates – and fans have been quick to heckle the star about it as well.

"What I reposted hurt a lot of people," she began.
"I should have been more public about how much I value everyone’s humanity and how what makes us unique as individuals can be what powers a great team."
WNBA writer Sara Jane Gamelli thinks Hidalgo's letter was "forced" and therefore won't accept it.
It's quite unbelievable that Miles appeared to hold a grudge against Hidalgo for nine months about the social media post she deleted and very clearly apologized for behind closed doors, but then again, we're talking about very young adults trying to navigate life both on and off the court.
Hidalgo apologized for her actions and stated she is not homophobic in the most public way possible in a genuine story published online.
Hidalgo took nearly a full year to reflect on her actions on social media and put together a public story to explain what she's learned in that time about the situation, but that's not good enough.
“I was really disappointed that it came out that way.
Hannah Hidalgo has formally apologized for sharing an anti-LGBTQ+ video on her social media platforms.
In the summer of 2024, Hidalgo reposted a video of conservative pundit Candace Owens discussing how same-sex marriage was a "sin," though she remained mum on the topic.
Among other things, you have to be intentional about what you post. Rarely, if ever, does the two-time Associated Press First Team All-American let a press conference go by without reference her savior, Jesus Christ. And then saying it, as you said, on a stage where women’s basketball there are a number of gay players out there.
"I thought that it was almost insulting to her teammates, to everybody in the game of basketball.
I was happy that she deleted it, but the damage I think was done before she deleted it.
"Accountability for me was like, that was the number one thing in having a championship team. "I have friends that are, you know, homosexual. And that doesn’t stop me from loving them. Which goes double if it’s somebody else you’re amplifying – as opposed to something that comes from your heart, that reflects your character and authentic self.
I’ve always been very private, and learning how to navigate the media in public as a young person is just plain hard. I will go to war for any single one of my teammates, and they know that."
She concluded by stating: "I don't want anybody to think that I'm apologetic for my faith, but what I am sorry for is that I hurt people, and I hurt people closest to me."
When Hidalgo first reposted the video criticizing same-sex marriage, the college basketball world was caught by surprise.
