Bijan Robinson is expressing his regret over repeating the controversial name of a playground game during an interview … saying even though he didn’t mean any disrespect by uttering “smear the queer” on live TV, it shouldn’t have come out of his mouth.

The Atlanta Falcons star was chopping it up with the Prime Video crew after his team’s big win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on “Thursday Night Football” … when Richard Sherman praised his ability to avoid being tackled throughout the contest.

Robinson had 93 yards and a touchdown on the ground … and 82 yards through the air in the 29-28 win.

“I recognize the mistake and make sure to do better in the future. It was not reflective of my beliefs and I am so sorry to those I offended seriously!”

Here’s the thing — the name for the keep-away game has been phased out over the years out of respect for the LGBTQ+ community … and has since been replaced by more accepted titles.

There has been a debate over whether its origin had any derogatory intent to begin with … but either way, folks have substituted it for the modern-day names.

Aubrey O’Day had a recent medical scare … and that’s the reason she had to skip the Danity Kane reunion show Wednesday in Los Angeles, a stop on the group’s comeback tour.

On her Instagram Story, Aubrey explained she was hospitalized after feeling sick all day … fighting her undisclosed symptoms until she finally had to go to the ER — saying she was “heartbroken” to let fans down.

Aundrea Fimbres and D. Woods ended up performing as a duo at the El Rey Theatre … the second stop on Danity Kane’s “The Untold Chapter” tour, which was announced in October.

Aubrey has been in the news lately because she appeared in 50 Cent’s Diddy documentary on Netflix … reading a sexually charged email allegedly from Diddy … and said she believes she was fired from the “Making the Band 3” group because she refused to sleep with him.

Along with the health scare … the singer posted to IG on Thursday that it had been a “heavy time” for her — and that it was stressful for fans to finally hear in the Netflix doc “things that were hard for me to say.”

Knock, knock … who’s there? Just “Selling Sunset” star Amanza Smith — serving full birthday energy today … and we’re all here ready to close the deal on her big day!
