The New York Times said on Tuesday it will issue a correction in the next day’s paper after being slammed on social media for mistakenly identifying actress Angela Bassett as former White House aide Omarosa Manigault-Newman.

The error was first flagged by Buzzfeed reporter Julia Reinstein on Twitter. The photo was credited to a Getty photographer.

The Times responded to Reinstein’s tweet in sharing its regret in running an incorrect caption from the photo.

“We regret running an incorrect caption from a photo wire service in some early print editions. We will issue a correction in tomorrow’s paper,” the Times official communications Twitter account wrote.

Bassett appeared to respond to the mistake by posting a GIF of actress Kerry Washington from the ABC drama “Scandal,” in which Washington plays the role of Olivia Pope, a crisis management fixer. 

“Hey Everybody, no worries!,” wrote the star of “Black Panther” and others. “It’s handled.”

Manigault Newman has yet to comment. 

Wow @nytimes do all dark skinned black women look the same to your editors?? Gorgeous and talented Queen Angela Bassett looks nothing like that other one.  #NYTimes #majoreffup https://t.co/hPx1tlgTQv
