Cee Lo Green apologizes for questionable tweets following pleadaing no contest..
Check out the details below.
Rapper Cee Lo Green is walking back comments he made after pleading no contest to a felony charge of furnishing a controlled substance last week.
He was accused of slipping an Ecstasy pill to a woman at a Los Angeles restaurant in 2012. According to “Billboard,” Green took to Twitter Sunday and sounded off on rape accusations associated with the case that he was never charged with because of insufficient evidence. He wrote
“If someone is passed out they’re not even WITH you consciously! so WITH Implies consent,” “people who have really been raped REMEMBER!!!”
The former coach of NBC’s “The Voice” also claimed there was never any proof that the woman in question was raped.
The tweets were later deleted and Cee Lo apologized. Apparently, he was hoping to have a “healthy exchange” with fans that would lead to healing. He tweeted,
Green had tweeted an apology before deleting his account entirely.
The tweets read:
“Let me 1st praise god for exoneration fairness & freedom! Secondly I sincerely apologize for my comments being taken so far out of context.”
“I only intended on a healthy exchange to help heal those who love me from the pain I had already caused from this. Please forgive me as it..”
“…was your support that got me thru this to begin with. I’d never condone the harm of any women. Thank you.”
It would have been best to not make any comments on this issue in that situation. Much worse making a comment of this nature.
