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.
Watch below…
“Hello everybody. This is Kim Burrell. I’m sorry. Not from the letter. But from my heart.
I released a letter two days ago. It did not convey right at all. And I must tell you this: it was from an attorney that asked me to do it because the latter part was offensive. It shouldn’t have been. It wasn’t my intent for it to be. But it was her wording.
My friends called me and let me know: ‘there are people who are still hurt from the part of them that they love about you. Come back.’
I came back because I do love you. This ain’t about dates. This ain’t about keeping my career. This is about keeping the love real. I love you guys so very much and I am really truly sorry. I did not want to hurt you. I don’t want to hurt you. I don’t plan on hurting you and I pray that you will heal from this. I’m sorry from the bottom of my heart. I love you. Wait and see. I do.”
With that, what are…
SHE needs to heal! How many times are we gonna go through this with her. #BeenCanceled
Kim you should have twerked or farted on IG, you should have shot at one of ur oops or pushed coca across the boarder for street cred.
For whatever reason, the people don’t seem “offended” by this.
Blah blah blah. She’ll never be Tamala Mann, Tasha Cobbs or Yolanda Adams. That’s why she’s so bitter & mean spirited. Remember when she tried to ride Whitney’s coattails and still couldn’t get anywhere? When’s the last time she had a gospel hit? 1998…
She look dumb with those big ass frames
Diva is refused watching the new resident evil tv series on Netflix. They are making Wesker is Black. WTF????? 💅🏾 The show shouldn’t named “Blacksident Evil” then
I wish this SP!C would learn how to speak English 😔😪
Diva is written in English. You clearly can’t read 💅🏾 Go to school, pancake t I t s 🤳🏽💯
I hope you heal.
What a shady, slick bih.
Once people make their minds up about you, it’s kind of hard to un-change them. And it appears most people have made up their minds about her, for the worst.
Who is this old lady
Forgiven!!! Let’s just move forward.
She is so full of it. She needs to pray for her own healing…she’s the one who needs it, otherwise she would not have been lashing out at folks in the first place. Some of those same folks who struggle to pay their bills still give money to the church. She showed her true colors and didn’t address or acknowledge her behavior or say how she will do better and change her harsh judgmental views.
What a crock of b*******! No apology worthy of you self-righteous religious wackos, arrogant insulting, offensive, hateful words. Oh yeah, now she loves you, to salvage her career, & continue selling her crap to a bunch of saps, & religious idiots!
Even the opening “I’m sorry” seemed and screams inauthentic and disingenuous.
She is a washed up bitter ugly souled trifflin’ ash tray vocaled homophobic sad woman. I hate cancel culture but she been cancelled and stays cancelled!!
God is her judge not no one else no one knows why it should be more prayers on this page then talking her against her God be with all of us kim keep your head up. We love you.
