Melissa McCarthy has addressed the controversy surrounding one of her charity donations during her "20 Days of Kindness" campaign.
McCarthy and her team from the upcoming HBO Max movie Superintelligence are donating $20,000 to 20 charities and calling on fans to donate, too.
However, the good deed has led to
some controversy, after it was revealed McCarthy's list includes a donation to Exodus Cry, a Christian organisation that is anti-abortion and anti-gay rights.
Despite billing itself as an anti-sex-trafficking group, the organisation's founder has referred to abortion as a "holocaust" and called homosexuality "an unspeakable offence to God".
The Daily Beast called McCarthy out on her choice of charity and she has openly addressed the controversy in an Instagram video, where she did not mince her words and said she had made a big mistake.
