Five days ago, FTVLive told you about a video posted by Harlem Globetrotter Maxwell Pearce about his appearance on Gray’s WBRC (Birmingham) in which the Anchors starting throwing fruit at him.

No really, they did.

Anchor Clare Huddleston and weatherman Mickey Ferguson threw two tangerines and a banana at Pearce during a segment. Anchor Mike Dubberly is seen standing beside Pearce and laughing. All three anchors are White.

Pearce posted a follow-up video in which he said that both Huddleston and Ferguson both apologized and while he has accepted Ferguson’s apology, he does not accept Huddleston’s.

He said that her apology was insincere and a lie.

Here is his video:

A WBRC viewer also thinks that Huddleston apology was weak. “Clare’s “apology” seems forced and insincere. She also suggests that she doesn’t know why Maxwell brought this up as she said, “He said we were good”. (Maxwell claimed this never happened.) Mickey’s apology seemed truly genuine.” said the viewer to FTVLive.

Watching Huddleston’s apology did seem like she was making more excuses and was trying to justify her actions.
