Lars Sullivan Issues Statement Regarding Past Controversial Comments

As previously reported, WWE Superstar Dylan Miley, a.k.a. Lars Sullivan, has been under fire for some misogynistic and bigoted comments that he made years ago on a Bodybuilding.com message board.

While the comments had been making the rounds for some time, they came back under scrutiny this week after Big E responded to a social media post regarding them, tweeting, "Many are aware. If true, he has to bear the albatross of being a bigot & working in a company that is now filled with minorities."

We were issued this response from Sullivan:

"There is no excuse for the inappropriate remarks that I made years ago. They do not reflect my personal beliefs nor who I am today, and I apologize to anyone I offended."

Sullivan is currently working SmackDown live events on the WWE tour of Europe. He appeared at a live event earlier this evening in Dublin and interfered in two matches, including one involving WWE Champion Kofi Kingston. Full results from tonight's WWE live event in Dublin are here.
