NEW YORK (AP) - A woman who wrongly accused a Black teenager of stealing her phone and tackled him while being filmed at a New York City hotel apologized but defended her actions in a television interview conducted before she was arrested in California. I consider myself to be super sweet, Miya Ponsetto, 22, said in a CBS This Morning interview that aired Friday. I don t feel that that is who I am as a person. I don t feel like this one mistake does define me, she said. But I do sincerely from the bottom of my heart apologize that if I made the son feel as if I assaulted him or if I hurt his feelings or the father s feelings.
