Good for her.

The comments about Kecia Lewis were just nasty.

Wow that's an almost perfectly worded apology  hoping it's genuine, and more than a PR move.

This is a prime example of a sincere apology (takes notes, Arrietty...). I'm glad Patti is learning from this instead of turning more bitter. People deserve grace when it's applicable. Good for her and for those who spoke out.
