Wonder who made Frank Stallone apologize? They NEVER apologize out of decency

Frank Stallone Apologizes For Calling David Hogg a ‘P*ssy’: ‘I’m Deeply Ashamed’


Over the weekend, Sylvester Stallone’s brother Frank suddenly became a top trending topic on Twitter when he decided it was a good idea to call 17-year-old Pakland survivor David Hogg a “pussy” who should be “sucker punched” by someone his own age. After taking a ton of heat over his ill-advised tweet, the D-lister deleted the post and made his Twitter account private.

Today, Stallone wanted the world to know that he was sorry for going after Hogg on Twitter and said that he never would promote violence against anyone.





As you can see in the tweet above, the 67-year-old actor/singer wrote that he wanted to “deeply apologize for my irresponsible words,” naming Hogg specifically. He added that after “what these kids went through I’m deeply ashamed.”

“Please accept my apology,” Stallone concluded.

He isn’t apologizing for calling him a pu$$y. He is apologizing for promoting violence against Hogg.

That is a criminal act, as his attorney probably explained to him.

(I did a bad thing and I'm sorry and ashamed), and not the usual non-apology apology (I'm sorry if anyone was offended). Why did he apologize? Maybe some friends or family members kicked his ass. The more important question is why he made such reprehensible comments in the first place. WTF is wrong with someone that they would say shit like that?

Who knew? I had to look him up; never heard of him. The Stallone name was faintly familiar as someone who made a few movies years ago. But that wasn't Frank.
