Kim Burrell has issued a fresh apology after catching flack for her initial response to the outcry over her now-viral sermon.
As reported, the Gospel singer shocked the masses when a video of her preaching in a church served up everything but the gospel.
For, in the clip that has now been watched millions of times, she urged parishioners to “choose” their friends wisely – touting the need to probe whether they are “broke”, “living in a trailer,” or “have a light bill in their cousin’s name.”
The 49-year-old also oddly added:
“I haven’t chosen anyone to be ugly yet. God is good. God is great. You all look great. Most of you have on hats covering most of that anyway. Here’s to you.”
Now, after releasing a written apology (that simultaneously threatened legal action for “slander and defamation” of her name and brand), Burrell has released a more personal video apology. One, in which, she admits the first statement was actually written by her legal rep.
