“It is inexcusable,” Thomas stated. “To start, I simply apologize. I am an adult. I am a grown person, there is simply no reason for me to mention anything similar to that. It is terrible.

Ralph Lauren stated it expects Thomas”does the difficult and necessary work so as to associate with us — actually analyzing this episode, learning, developing and finally using his stage to encourage inclusion.”
