Micheal Richards expected it to be a mediation. Not a media circus.
The former "Seinfeld" star was a no-show Saturday for a mock trial in Los Angeles to address jos racial tirade during a stand-up routine last November.
The event was organized by celebrity attorney Gloria Allred, who is representing the four African-Amricans Richards targeted with the N-word, and took place at Loyola Law School.
Richards' lawyer, Douglas Mirell, said his client sought numerous "opportunities to apologize to all who were offended by his words," but declined to participate in Saturday's event because Allred ignored state guidelines for how such an "important personal dialogue" should be carried out in favor of organizing a "Jerry Springer-style publicity stunt."
Allred, meanwhile, said she was tired of waiting for Richards to show up as promised with a meeting with her clients. |
