Ryan Garcia said in a lengthy Instagram post he is 'headed to rehab' after using racist remarks and getting expelled from a top boxing organization.
After making racist remarks about Black people and George Floyd and anti-Muslim comments, Ryan Garcia says he is 'headed to rehab.' In an extensive post on Instagram, Garcia apologized for his comments, saying that 'if you get triggered by a word that means you are too sensitive.' 'Let me get this straight I've actually supported black communities. Have taken racism from Tim Bradley calling me a zoo animal on ESPN,' Garcia wrote in a post.
And turn the other cheek but I'm racist bc everyone was just drunk and saying s--- people say all the time including black men… God knows my heart and how I would protect black children till the day I die.' Garcia said he was 'speaking against black on black crime,' and 'they took everything out of context.' 'Including the musilim part I spoke against pedo activity in every religiousn and How I don't stand for that.
But my pain deserves to be felt, black and brown have always united. And it will always be that way. I’m just a shade lighter then you, but I love you and I love black children to the point I’d d** for a black child. I was actually speaking against black on black crime. Against I’m Sorry,' he wrote. Garcia then commented on his own post that he is 'also headed to rehab.
In a statement to Fox News Digital, Garcia and his team said at the time he was a 'victim of substance contamination, with levels measured in the billions and trillions of a gram, which provided no advantage whatsoever in the ring.' Garcia was arrested last month on a felony vandalism charge after a Beverly Hills hotel accused him of causing around $15,000 in damage, a Beverly Hills Police Department watch commander told ESPN.
