Arbulu: Sexist comments like calling daughter 'hot' were 'regrettable'

Documents released by the Michigan Department of Civil Rights (MDCR) Friday detail sexist comments that MDCR Director Agustin Arbulu made to a coworker, as well as remarks to state investigator that his adult daughter “looked hot” at a recent event they both attended.

Speaking to the Advance Friday, Arbulu said his comment about his daughter was “regrettable.”

“I can’t change that,” Arbulu said. “I have taken responsibility, and [I’m] learning from that experience, specifically in my role as executive director, and recognizing that words do matter.”

The state’s civil rights director was officially reprimanded last week for inappropriate comments to a coworker that were not public knowledge until the Detroit News first obtained them through a Freedom of Information Act request Friday.
