Hes been at it decades & accusations of his sexism/homophobia/racism are many.
There was no malice when I said it.
Nevertheless it was 100% wrong and I should have known better immediately.
Clearly it was insensitive and I deeply regret it, he continued.
To that end, I submitted my resignation to Just For Laughs over the weekend.
I have learned from this experience and will double-check it never happens again.
I sincerely apologized privately to the ones directly affected.
I apologize to anyone else I offended that night from my thoughtless words.
I am imperfect and will take away everything I can from this to do better.
