Patriots owner Robert Kraft issued a statement on Wednesday expressing regret about a controversial video of him that went viral on Wednesday.
Kraft appeared with Ricki Noel Lander in an audition video for a movie she hopes to land a part in. Kraft, 71, uses foul language in the video. Last month, Kraft showed up at a Celtics game with Lander, 32, who is a dancer and an actress.
Said Kraft in a statement that first was sent to ProFootballTalk.com:
“I tried to help Ricki prepare an audition tape for an upcoming Vince Vaughn/Owen Wilson comedy by reading Wilson’s lines. I never intended that it would be made public and I regret that it has. I think we can all agree that Owen Wilson has nothing to worry about. I am going to stick to my day job.”
