In an exclusive interview with Chris Cuomo of CNN’s “New Day,” former NBA star Dennis Rodman had a less than appealing outburst. Cuomo asked Rodman how he felt about Kenneth Bae, who has been held in North Korea since 2012, and sentence of 15 years of hard labor. The U.S. and family of Kenneth Bae are fighting to get him released and sent home. A simple question turned into tempers flaring and even the use of profanity.
“I want to first apologize to Kenneth Bae’s family,” Rodman, 52, said Thursday in a statement released by his publicist Jules Feiler. “I want to apologize to my teammates and my management team. I also want to apologize to Chris Cuomo.”
“I’m very sorry. At this point I should know better than to make political statements. I’m truly sorry. I had been drinking,” he said. “It’s not an excuse but by the time the interview happened I was upset. I was overwhelmed.”
Here’s a tip for Rodman, don’t mix excessive drinking and politics!
