Rousey ended her apology with a call to others who have fallen for conspiracy theories, warning that believing such ideas do not make one "an independent thinker."

"They will only make you feel powerless, afraid, miserable and isolated. You’re doing nothing but hurting others and yourself," she cautioned. "No matter how long you’ve gone down the wrong road, you should still turn back."

The Sandy Hook conspiracy is a favorite in fringe right-wing circles, often touted by Infowars host Alex Jones, who had called the school shooting a hoax. Family members of Sandy Hook victims sued him, and he was ordered to pay nearly $1.5 billion to Sandy Hook parents.
