Richards 'to apologise in person'


~ The patrons welcomed his overtures at a press conference on Friday ~

Ex-Seinfeld actor Michael Richards has pledged to apologise in person to four black audience members he targeted in a recent racist outburst.

A retired judge will mediate at the meeting, Richards' spokesman and an attorney for the customers have said.

She {Gloria Allred} said her clients would use the meeting to convey "the pain they suffered" as a result of his racist tirade on 17 November.

"We are happy about Mr Richards' decision and we commend him for accepting our challenge," she added.

"We look forward to sitting down face to face with Mr Richards," said Kyle Doss, one of the four people targeted by the comedian.

3. damn TOO BAD@

I was hoping that he and Mel Gibson were going to be teaming up soon as a new comedy duo. Just kidding! Not really, but he should apologize but he will always be the guy that said the n word at all those guys. There are people around that dont even remember the KRAMER Thing so this is the first look they are getting at him. He is kind of like Kerry sadly no matter how he apologizes it wont matter
