Gary Dourdan Tries to Convince Us He’s Innocent
Monday, May 5th, 2008
Gary Dourdan issued a statement via email to Access Hollywood regarding his arrest for drug possession in Palm Springs a few days ago, but after it was printed his rep denied that it was meant for publication.
His rep is also claiming that it wasn’t an email sent to Access Hollywood, but instead a personal text message sent to a friend.
The statement was a little weird. It’s almost as though he wrote it while he was toasted.
“Obviously I certainly wish I hadn’t been responsible for so many people getting to the festival’s VIP area. And the after party, it ran me ragged, but I’m glad pulling over did prevent a DUI. I recommend not driving at all, but a little kip (nap) is always good (on either side of the road LOL).”
Dourdan goes on to say that the drugs found in his vehicle during the search were not his.
“I am blessed that the Sgt. realized that the luggage carrying whatever they found was not mine and that my tests have been coming back negative. I’ve been happy to cooperate in any way to clear myself and go on with my blessed life.”
Dourdan continues, really laying it on thick..
“I am so sorry to all my fans, especially the young ones, like Taylor Swift, who I should’ve been supporting with my daughter instead of driving tired in the desert. I am planning events to get the word out that you don’t need a bunch of nasty chemicals to have a good time. Just good friends, family, good music and a good honest spirit full of faith.”
Typical of celebrities to say this sort of thing, or anyone caught with drugs for that matter, so I totally don’t buy it. Remember Lindsay Lohan saying that she was wearing someone else’s pants after cocaine was found in them? Heh.
