" The Onion has apologised to Quvenzhan\u00C3\u00A9 Wallis after an offensive term was used to describe her on the publication&amp;#039;s Twitter feed. The satirical magazine prompted online outrage after describing the 9-year-old Oscar nominee as a &amp;quot;c**t&amp;quot; during last night&amp;#039;s red carpet event.  Onion CEO Steve Hannah has now taken to the publication&amp;#039;s Facebook page to offer a &amp;quot;personal apology&amp;quot; to Wallis and the Academy. Confirming that disciplinary action will be taken against the individuals involved, Hannah wrote: &amp;quot;[The tweet] was crude and offensive - not to mention inconsistent with The Onion&amp;#039;s commitment to parody and satire, however biting. &amp;quot;No person should be subjected to such a senseless, humorous comment masquerading as satire.&amp;quot;  Hannah, who pointed out that the tweet was removed within an hour of its posting, promised that &amp;quot;new and tighter Twitter procedures&amp;quot; will be introduced to prevent a similar incident in the future. &amp;quot;Miss Wallis, you are young and talented and deserve better,&amp;quot; he concluded. &amp;quot;All of us at The Onion are deeply sorry.&amp;quot; Wallis, who recently landed the lead role in the upcoming remake of Annie, charmed viewers when she appeared on the red carpet with a puppy purse and mocked Piers Morgan&amp;#039;s accent.
