that I needed to just be myself, say I am sorry and
beg for forgiveness.
What I said was wrong and hurtful. I know that
and will do everything that I can do make it right. I am
not about hate, and I will devote myself to showing
my family, friends and fans how to live a life helping
others, lifting us all up, and spreading love.”
