Columbus Short Apologizes For Using “N-Word”

Columbus Short is apologizing to Tom Joyner and the rest of his Morning Show staff for using the “n-word” during a recent interview, but not for calling all women insecure or for allegedly threatening his wife (but, we won’t go there). In case you missed it, Columbus came under fire after an awkward interview with the Tom Joyner Morning Show. The “Scandal” actor is doing some much-needed damage control and released this statement:

“TJMS, My sincerest apologies for the confusion over my appearance on your show last Friday morning. I am a long time supporter and admirer of The Tom Joyner Morning Show and I was looking forward to an opportunity to speak with you and your audience.  Unfortunately, the early morning (approximately 5:45AM Pacific Time) following a late-night event had me at what some describe, less than my best.”

Clearly Columbus has a “late night” pretty often. He was recently investigated for assaulting a man at a bar and his wife filed a restraining order from the Harrison character for the third time.

Get your life, Columbus! Read the full statement, here.
