SCANDAL actor COLUMBUS SHORT exclusively sent a statement to TOM JOYNER's web site BLACK AMERICA WEB to apologize after his strange interview last week on the TOM JOYNER MORNING SHOW which included the use of the "N" word, reports a press release from TJMS.
Through his publicist SHORT issued this apology, "My sincerest apologies for the confusion over my appearance on your show last FRIDAY morning. I am a longtime supporter and admirer of the TOM JOYNER MORNING SHOW and I am looking forward to an opportunity to speak with you and your audience. Unfortunately, the early morning (approximately 5:45 Pacific Time) following a late night event had me at what some describe, less than my best. To clarify some of my statements:
1. I rarely use the "n" word and I could not have picked a worse time to do so. I deeply apologize for directing it towards you.
2. Regarding my statements about women being insecure, I am a strong believer and supporter of women and I am always amazed by all that our better halves accomplish. I come from a family of strong black women and I would never discredit or minimize their success. I have the deepest respect for women, their strength, and innate beauty. To suggest anything else was never my intent. I simply wanted to convey just that.
3. Lastly, just to clarify, I was not high, drunk, or otherwise under the influence. I was simply exhausted. After a long day, the early call threw off my schedule. This was no excuse-you and those who support me deserved better. Please accept my deepest apologies for any misunderstandings for that morning call. It would be an honor to appear on the TJMS in the future to set things right with your audience."
