Frank Stallone sorry for calling Parkland survivor a 'p*****' and 'rich little b*****'
GETTY Sylvester Stallone and Frank Stallone
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Frank Stallone is apologizing for a profanity-laden tweet attacking a survivor of the Florida school shooting.
Mostly known for being the brother of Sylvester Stallone, the actor and musician backed away from a Saturday tweet attacking teenager David Hogg. Hogg has become a powerful voice for gun control after the attack at Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High in Parkland, Florida.
Stallone wrote:
This David Hogg pussy is getting a little big for his britches. I'm sure someone from his age group is dying to sucker punch this rich little bitch.
Stallone later deleted the tweet and one aimed at another Parkland survivor.
On Sunday, Stallone expressed remorse for what he called "irresponsible words," saying: "After what these kids went through, I'm deeply ashamed."
Several advertisers dropped Fox News personality Laura Ingraham after she mocked Hogg. She later apologized.
