Ex-Chicago Blackhawks participant Corey Perry is breaking his silence … apologizing for his actions and adamantly denying the explanation he received kicked off the staff had something to do with Connor Bedard‘s mom.
The 38-year-old Canadian had his contract terminated earlier this week … after the staff mentioned he violated the Blackhawks’ inner insurance policies over “conduct that is unacceptable.”
The transfer got here days after people on social media unfold a rumor that Perry connected with Bedard’s mother, Melanie … and the chatter received so loud, Blackhawks GM Kyle Davidson had to address the “wildly inaccurate” and “disgusting” claims.
Now, Perry can be talking out on the state of affairs … and he, too, is confronting the false narrative head-on.
“As a result of my actions, there has been speculation and rumors,” Perry mentioned in a press release. “I am sickened by the impact this has had on others, and I want to make it clear that in no way did this situation involve any of my teammates or their families.”
“Most importantly, I want to directly apologize to those who have been negatively affected and I am sorry for the additional impact to others it has created. My behavior was inappropriate and wrong.”
Whereas particulars surrounding the particular incident haven’t been disclosed, Perry was reportedly concerned in an “alcohol-infused incident” with staff staffers and company sponsors previous to getting reduce.
Perry mentioned he’s now in search of psychological well being and alcohol therapy … in hopes he does not repeat his actions shifting ahead.
“I hope to regain the trust and respect of everyone who has believed in me throughout my career,” he added.
“Once again, I am deeply sorry.”
