In a statement seen by TMSG, the parent said that he was writing to “sincerely apologize for my recent use of a word that is deeply offensive and hurtful”.
“I recognize that my language was completely unacceptable, and I am truly sorry for the pain and harm my words may have caused.
“As a parent, I understand that my actions carry weight, not only for my own children but also for the young people who look to adults as role models.”
