David Cross Apologizes to Charlyne Yi Again on Twitter

David Cross is once again apologizing to actress Charlyne Yi after she accused him of saying racist comments to her several years ago.

The 53-year-old actor’s wife Amber Tamblyn has spoken out to show her support for Charlyne and also defend her husband.

Charlyne took to Twitter this weekend to ask people not to throw hate at David and Amber.

“I don’t support anyone who has taken this tango between @davidcrosss & I to use it as an opportunity to threaten or spread hate onto him & @ambertamblyn. It doesn’t help matters whatsoever. We have a lot of growing to do, us weird human beings with our all our pain,” she tweeted. “We’re all just afraid, fragile creatures trying to learn how to build bridges to find peace with one another. When both David & my walls fall down, hopefully we can have a heart to heart, & laugh & cry. Communication from the heart is the only way. Peace.”

David replied to these tweets by saying, “Charlyne I’m sorry that I hurt you and that this whole thing played out as it did. I look forward to communicating whenever you see fit.”

David Cross Responds to Charlyne Yi's Accusations Over Racist Encounter

Charlyne Yi tweeted about an encounter she had with David Cross years ago, and now he’s responding.

The 31-year-old actress wrote, “I think about the first time I met David Cross ten years ago & he made fun of my pants (that were tattered because I was poor). Dumbfounded I stared at him speechless and he said to me ‘what’s a matter? You don’t speak English?? Ching-chong-ching-chong.’”

She continued, “Then after he saw I was offended he asked me if I was going to fight with him karate in a southern accent. Then a few years later he was re-introduced to me after my comedy show with his girlfriend at the time & he said ‘Hi nice to meet you.’ I can tell the difference between this man making a joke vs condescending me. This happened 10 years ago and I sure as hell hope he’s changed (or at the very least, he’s scared enough to not be his racist self).”
