In three tweets, Jackson wrote:

I have made a mistake and would like to make it clear that words I used meant no disrespect to the Gay and Lesbian community.

On June 30, Jackson appeared on the All Out Show with Rude Jude and Lord Sear on Sirius XM radio. On the uncensored show, Jackson uses several derogatory anti-gay phrases towards a caller asking him a question.
