Holly Robinson Peete is explaining her comments regarding the murder of NFL quarterback Steve McNair, according to ESPN.com. "An NFL trailblazer, loving father and husband is gone too soon, and I just wish the family so much courage right now," said Robinson Peete in a statement. "And I am really, really saddened if I caused any extra grief with my inappropriate tweets where I overshared about my reaction to the circumstances surrounding this unspeakable tragedy."

The "inappropriate tweets" Robinson Peete refers to include statements like "I told hubby if I get a call from some 20 yr old waitress he was doin offed him -- me n kids boycotting funeral -- not EVEN joking."

Since typing her reaction, Robinson Peete has been bashed in the media for her comments on Twitter (they¹ve since been deleted) but says she was trying to bring focus to the broader topic of infidelity among professional athletes. She admits that her timing was all-wrong but insists that infidelity is an important enough topic for everyone to discuss.--MB
