HILARY SWANK: I DEEPY REGRET ATTENDING CHECHAN LEADER’S BIRTHDAY

Swank sure is sorry.

Two-time Oscar winner Hilary Swank came under fire on Tuesday when it was revealed that she was among the attendees at a birthday concert on Oct. 5 for Ramzan Kadyrov, a Kremlin-backed Chechen leader accused of torture, abductions and murder by human rights groups.

"I deeply regret attending this event," Swank, 37, said in a statement to The Associated Press on Thursday. "If I had a full understanding of what this event was apparently intended to be, I would never have gone."
