“The outreach was really to indicate that he, Matthew, understands his mishap in terms of what he did, what he’s caused. He’s remorseful,” Briggs continued. “I took that as some form of apology, but that’s not something I think at this time amounts to a solid apology, from my perspective.

“I don’t think an apology, an ‘I’m sorry,’ makes this go away because there’s a lot of harm that was caused.” The damning footage from the graduation shows Eddy pushing Briggs aside as his daughter was receiving her diploma, saying “I don’t want her touching him.”

    I feel so sorry for his daughter. That’s so humiliating. How do you come back from something like that. You probably have to move to a new city or something. I hope she’s going to college far away lol.

    She’s probably just a racist too though haha

      That’s not fair to assume. In fact your comment is quite the 180.

      You saying stuff like that is exactly why everyone should feel sorry for her.
