“Both my son, myself, and others of our family have long decided that we are not going to hold any animosity against Megan Pete a.k.a. Megan Thee Stallion.
“We forgave that girl a long time ago. A long time ago. Hatred, resentment, bitterness — those things can actually be diseases of the bones.
“We know that the principle of forgiveness is important in order to cleanse one’s heart, to cleanse one’s soul, and to not be bound up with hatred.
“It has been proven, and it can cause sickness in your body because you’re holding onto something that is negative against the real-life force in your life.”
He further elaborated: “Some will no doubt actually question…‘Is he actually saying that Tory forgave Megan for all of what’s going on?’
“Yes, we have forgiven her but what we will not back down from is the machine.”
