In an emotional interview with Good Morning America on Monday morning, Hulk Hogan asked the audience for forgiveness for racist comments he made in a video that was leaked earlier this summer.

“Oh, my gosh. Please forgive me. Please forgive me,” he said. “I think if you look at the whole picture of who Hulk Hogan is, you can see over all the years that there’s not a racist bone in my body.”

Hogan asserts that he isn’t a racist, and the footage of him using the n-word to describe a former boyfriend of his daughter was the result of his upbringing.

“I’m not a racist but I never should have said what I said. It was wrong. I’m embarrassed by it,” he said. “People need to realize that you inherit things from your environment. And where I grew up was south Tampa, Port Tampa, and it was a really rough neighborhood, very low income. And all my friends, we greeted each other saying that word.”

Hogan said he was emotionally distressed after incident, and considered suicide.
