In a turn of events, Jordynne Grace has retracted her words.
Recently we reported that IMPACT knockouts champion, Jordynne Grace, made some comments online about Chris Benoit. She was bombarded with a mixed reaction, including from the likes of Chavo Guerrero, Chris Jericho, Konnan and others who think she was wrong about her comments towards Chris. Now, Jordynne sat down with David Benoit, the son of Chris, on a Instagram live to talk about what happened. Sadly, the Instagram live is gone, so there’s no footage of the matter. But, Grace did put out a public statement after, noting that she will also be donating to a foundation. You can read the statement below.
Note:
Last week I made an irresponsible and unnecessary tweet. Regardless of how mypersonal emotions influence my opinion, I should have recognized the impact my words would have on friends and family close to the situation. I was completely thoughtless in that regard. Since reflecting this past week, I’ve reached out privately to friends and family that I angered or hurt. Among those was David Benoit, Chavo Guererro, and Chris Jericho, who are supporting me in the decision to partner and fundraise with the Concussion Legacy Foundation (formerly Sports Legacy Institute). I have pledged $5,000, with the overall campaign goal being $20,000. I’m acutely aware that the damage has been done. I would never intentionally add onto the suffering of those already dealing with such a traumatic event, and I am sorry for my insensitivity and aggravating this already delicate topic. This is my way of attempting to squeeze something positive out of the negative situation I created. Thank you in advance to everyone who donates.
– Patricia (aka Jordynne Grace)
