MTV regrets this incident occurred and we apologize to anyone who was offended by it.

The hospital deeply regrets this really unfortunate incident.

The incident that occurred happened rapidly and was totally unforeseen.

I apologize profusely to those I have offended deeply a million times over.

We are just somewhat perplexed that some 800 days after this incident allegedly occurred and these individuals were detained that this is the first time there's been any reference to a lion.

Only peons made excusses for themselves she taught me. Never apologize, never explain.
