Following the viral spread of a video purportedly showing boxer Ryan Garcia damaging his ex-wife Andrea Celina’s house, Garcia has since released a two-minute apologetic video.
Garcia says he is sorry and that he is going to get assistance in the video.
“I came on here just to say I’m sorry. Andrea, you’re the mother of my children and somebody I’ll always have love and respect for,” Garcia, also known as KingRy, said. “I retract all my statements about her. She never stole money from me. She never did wrong by me. She never cheated on me.”
Garcia continued, “We weren’t together, so right there, she’s not a cheater. She’s a great woman.”
The 24-1 boxer allegedly chastised Celina for allegedly cheating on him and causing damage to their house, and now she has apologised for it. Garcia is also charged with damaging their home in the course of the incident.
After testing positive for a prohibited substance after his fight with Devin Haney, Garcia is currently serving a boxing suspension. Garcia put on a great performance, but the bout ended in a “no contest.”
The 25-year-old Californian acknowledged that he has “lost everything” and underlined the importance of getting assistance. “In the next couple of months, you’re gonna see a change,” Garcia said.
Garcia’s past several months have been turbulent. Aside from his ex-wife’s turmoil and the Haney altercation, he was also detained for reportedly causing damage to a Beverly Hills Waldorf Astoria hotel room. He has now apologised for the racial term he used on social media, which also resulted in his expulsion from the WBC.
A Gentle Reminder: Every obstacle is a stepping stone, every morning; a chance to go again, and those little steps take you closer to your dream.
