Liam Neeson Slip

When you openly admit that you did a bad thing in the past and have matured and learned from it, thinking that people will praise you for maturing, but instead people condemn you for doing that bad thing in the first place.

Liam Neeson admitted to the media that he was racist when he was younger thinking that people would praise him for maturing and growing, but instead he received heavy backlash for being racist in the first place.

Jacob made a post on Reddit about how he used to use gay as an insult in high school but has since matured and learned from his past mistakes and no longer does so. Silly Jacob just made a Liam Neeson Slip, now he's gonna get hate in the comments instead of the praise he was expecting.
