"In my Redbook article ,some people have taken offense to my comments regarding feminism- if any of you are In the "biz" you are well aware of how words can be taken out of context," Cuoco, 29, captioned a photo from a page of her Redbook spread.

"I'm completely blessed and grateful that strong women have paved the way for my success along with many others. I apologize if anyone was offended. Anyone that truly knows me, knows my heart and knows what I meant."

In an extract of the piece published last week, the Big Bang Theory star, who recently locked in a $1 million-per episode deal for her work on the show, said feminism is "not really something [she thinks] about."

"Things are different now, and I know a lot of the work that paved the way for women happened before I was around," she explained. "I was never that feminist girl demanding equality, but maybe that's because I've never really faced inequality."

Cuoco's full interview with the magazine will be available on Jan. 6, when the next issue of Redbook hits stands.
