Artie Lange apologizes to Cari Champion over sexual slave fantasy

Artie Lange

Comedian Artie Lange apologized to Cari Champion Wednesday for tweets he sent Tuesday morning about the ESPN “First Take” host.

Lange, who has hosted his own radio show and is known for his role on “The Howard Stern Show,” talked about his crush on Champion while watching “First Take.” The comedian then revealed a sexual slave fantasy he had about Champion.

A day after receiving backlash for the tweets, Lange specifically apologized to Champion while expressing reluctance to apologize in general for fear of caving to PC groups. He also blamed the audience for taking offense to his tweets.

Below are his tweets:

Lange continued to play the victim card, blaming everyone else for being outraged over his tweets, and saying his appearance on the Comedy Central show “@Midnight” was cancelled because of his tweets.

Lange then apologized directly to Champion:

ESPN responded to Lange’s tweets with the following statement:

“His comments were reprehensible and no one should be subjected to such hateful language,” the network said via SI’s Richard Deitsch. “They objectify and demean one of our valued employees under the thin guise of “comedy” and are offensive to all of us. We will not dignify them with any other comment.”
