Gustin says he was “shocked, saddened and angry” when he saw the offensive tweets (via toofab)
Among the offensive messages he posted:"The only thing stopping me from doing mildly racist tweets is the knowledge that Al Sharpton would never stop complaining about me."
In another from 2014, he wrote,"Out at dinner and just exposed myself as a racist, AGAIN." He also appeared to tweet messages condoning violence toward women and using homophobic slurs. "My words, irrelevant of being meant with an intent of humor, were hurtful, and unacceptable," he wrote in a statement on May 30."I am ashamed I was capable of these really horrible attempts to get attention at that time. I regret them deeply. This was not acceptable behavior. These were words I threw out at the time with no thought or recognition of the harm my words could do, and now have done today.
"I am incredibly sorry, ashamed and disappointed in myself for my ignorance back then. I want to be very clear: this is not reflective of what I think or who I am now," he added."Years ago, thanks to friends and experiences who helped me to open my eyes, I began my journey into becoming a more responsible adult - in terms of what I say, what I do, and beyond. I've largely kept that journey private, and this is another way that I have let so many down.
He added,"I still have more work to do. But how I define myself now does not take away the impact of my words, or my responsibility for them. I am very sorry."
