Michael Richards is learning to grovel. In an attempt to save what is left of his career and his reputation, the former Seinfeld star has agreed to meet with the men he offended during his on-stage racial tirade. CNN reports: Michael Richards will apologize in person to the four black men he targeted in a tirade of racial slurs during a recent comedy club performance. A retired judge will mediate the meeting and determine whether he should take any other action to resolve the matter, Richards’ spokesman and an attorney for the men said Friday. A cash settlement could be part of the resolution, said Howard J. Rubenstein, who represents Richards. “My client Michael hopes to put it behind him,” Rubenstein said. Rubenstein complimented attorney Gloria Allred, who is representing the four comedy club patrons, for recommending the meeting. Allred said Richards should meet with her clients “to hear the pain that he inflicted on them and to apologize to them.” Nothing like a little payoff to erase your pain. And how exactly did Gloria Allred get involved in this? Exactly how fast does that screaming banshee drive to catch up with every high profile case in the country? |

Ever wonder what happened to Kramer when Seinfeld went off the air? Well, Michael Richards has been trying hs hand at stand-up comedy and he seems to be a little sensitve about it. Apparently the fuzzy headed comic flipped out Friday night during a performance at an LA comedy club. Check out the report from TMZ: Richards, who played the wacky Cosmo Kramer on the hit TV show “Seinfeld,” appeared onstage at the Laugh Factory in West Hollywood. It appears two guys, both African-American, were in the cheap seats playfully heckling Richards when suddenly, the comedian lost it. The camera started rolling just as Richards began his attack, screaming at one of the men, “Fifty years ago we’d have you upside down with a f***ing fork up your ass.” Richards continued, “You can talk, you can talk, you’re brave now motherf**ker. Throw his ass out. He’s a nigger! He’s a nigger! He’s a nigger! A nigger, look, there’s a nigger!” The crowd is visibly and audibly confused and upset. Richards responds by saying, “They’re going to arrest me for calling a black man a nigger.” One of the men who was the object of Richard’s tirade was outraged, shouting back “That’s un-f***ing called for, ain’t necessary. Wow, at least Mel Gibson can say he was drunk when he made an idiot of himself. |
