  2. Unless he says “I was not driving drunk, the police are wrong, and I’m going to fight this attack on my reputation,” then it’s all just a fountain of blah blah blah. Talk is cheap, how about not driving drunk instead?

  3. Yeah blah, blah, blah, what would you have said if you killed someone in your drunken stupor?

  4. You people are cruel…this is a mistake that could happen to any one of us. Many years ago, I thought I could drive after a “few” drinks and found out I had more than I thought. Kenny apologized and I am happy that he did. Just don’t do it again….you know what? I never did it again not once- not ever -will it happen again. Kenny you are right…it was an eye opener and a life changer. A few years ago I had a family member killed by a popular musician in the Cleveland Area while he was driving drunk…the heartache he caused our family was horrendous…and it still stings. He got 18 months in jail for taking a human life…..18 months!!!!!!!!!! And didn’t learn his lesson….I think those of us who truly made a mistake will NEVER do it again. I’ve been on both sides of the fence people….so don’t judge….accept his apology and move on! I have!!!!

  5. I wonder how many people have never, ever, ever, had a drink and drove a car before…..those whom are without sin…..

  6. drunk driving is wrong and its a horrible part of our society. sure people make mistakes but like kathleen’s story says the price of some mistakes are a human life. kenny got lucky and didn’t kill anyone but that does not make what he did any more right. he is still wrong with what he did and he hopefully never makes the decision to drive drunk again. i give him credit for the apology and im glad hes going to change, but i dont agree that we should all think this is no big deal. this could have turned out very differently very easily and had a horrible ending to the story

  7. I give him credit for apologizing on air and bringing attention to the horrible issue that is drunk driving. But this is something I don’t feel I need to move on from and shrug off immediately just because he’s sorry and says he learned his lesson. With time, if Kenny shows he is serious about learning his lesson and never doing this again, then absolutely will I forgive him and be happy that his life is changed for the better. But I’m not ready to do that just yet, just like I wouldn’t be ready to do that for anyone else, even a member of my own family.

  8. He made a mistake, and he has apologized for his actions. Everyone makes mistakes, we wouldn’t be human if we didn’t. Thankfully, no one was hurt. Kenny deserves a second chance the same as everyone else, and we should all move on from this.

  10. I hate this fat ass. Every time he comes on I mute the channel or mostly change the channel. He cannot speak a full sentence without laughing right in the middle of what he is talking about, “must be drunk all the time.” And what is with the “hooker look” Kristy and Stephanie are doing? We don’t see this trash enough on the streets?

  11. Listen Kenny just like Zack those Cops got there “Eye’s” on you.. If you want to go out and have a good time with the “Ladies” you got to have a DRIVER.
    Thats all you need “DRIVER” you can afford it!! Then they cant touch you and you dont have to have any public apologies!! This is how they do U.. Hey Kenny!! Buy you all those rounds everyone, laughing enjoying themselves! as you leave out they call the Police on you! Just ask Zack!
