Former New England Patriots linebacker and current NFL Network analyst Willie McGinest apologized in a statement on Friday after he was arrested following an alleged assault at a West Hollywood nightclub.
"First and foremost, I want to offer my deepest apology for my lapse in judgment and behavior on December 9 at a restaurant in West Hollywood," he said in a statement."To my family, community, friends, and youth I mentor, please know I feel horrible for my actions and take full responsibility.
"To my colleagues at the NFL Network and those I work closely with as an advisor to professional and community-based organizations, please know I am embarrassed and regret what occurred. "Most of all, I am disappointed in myself, as I know this is an isolated incident and is not reflective of my faith, role as a father, life's body of work, or the role model I've worked hard to become. It is personally devastating that decades of community service, youth engagement, mentoring, and professional development would become an afterthought in a single moment that should have never happened.
"This incident has prompted me to deep self-reflection — mind, soul, and spirit. I know that violence is never the answer to such situations, no matter how intense the provocation. Rest assured, I will take whatever steps necessary to restore the public trust, mend damaged relationships, and ensure this never happens again."after an alleged incident that took place at Delilah in West Hollywood on Dec. 9.
McGinest has worked as an analyst for ESPN and Fox Sports after retiring. He now works for the NFL Network, though he has been suspended.
