LOS ANGELES – Michael Richards will apologize in person to the four black men he targeted in a tirade of racial slurs during a recent comedy club performance.
A retired judge will mediate the meeting and determine whether he should take any other action to resolve the matter, Richards’ spokesman and an attorney for the men said Friday.
A cash settlement could be part of the resolution, said Howard Rubenstein, who represents Richards.
“My client Michael hopes to put it behind him,” Rubenstein said.
A time and place for the meeting has not been set.
Rubenstein complimented attorney Gloria Allred, who is representing the four comedy club patrons, for recommending the meeting.
Allred said Richards should meet with her clients “to hear the pain that he inflicted on them and to apologize to them.”
