“I want to reach out to personally say I am so deeply sorry for the confusion I have caused,” the real estate agent said in a statement, per People.

“I certainly do not own Pioneertown, I never should have said that and I apologize for doing so. I want you to know that I did not mean any harm, I absolutely love Pioneertown and I simply got too excited talking about it,” she continued.

Gold added that she and her husband were inspired to invest in “a home and other properties” in the town because they “wanted to become part of the community.”

“Again, I am so sorry to the people of Pioneertown, I would never want to disrespect the town’s history or any of the people who make it such a wonderful place,” she concluded.

At one point, Gold even treated some of the ladies to a brief trip to Pioneertown, where she showed off her fancy multimillion-dollar property.
