Diller offers apology for Davis comments
Moguls sez statements were 'ungracious, uncalled for'
|
In a presentation Tuesday, Diller referred to "fat Marvin Davis," questioned his reputation and jibed that "it would be a sad thing for the world" if Davis wins control of Universal. Davis and a consortium of investors have offered about $20 billion for U's U.S. entertainment assets.
"For my stupid and cheesy attempt at humor at the end of a luncheon interview -- I apologize -- it was ungracious, uncalled for -- and inaccurate," Diller said in an email.
It wasn't clear if he was referring to Davis' weight or the bid for U.
