Seinfeld’s” Michael Richards will finally get his requested sit down with the so-called hecklers who bore the brunt of his headline making racist rant at the Laugh Factory in late November.
“Since this happened, this is what Michael has wanted to do — get in the room and apologize in person to the recipients of his unfortunate remarks,” spokesman Chris Giglio said, according to Reuters.
Three black men, a black woman and their attorney Gloria Allred are to meet with a retired judge who will serve as a mediator in recommending any further action, Reuters reports.
“They (her clients) will be telling him (Richards) about the pain they suffered” as a result of the racial epithets, Allred said during a press conference Friday. She added that the meeting is likely to take place sometime next month.
“I am very happy that Mr. Richards has agreed to meet with me and my friends so that we can tell him how his words made us feel and that he can apologize to us,” said Kyle Doss, 26, one of Allred’s clients.
