The following is the full text of GIRIBOY's apology

I was so scared of all the criticism that I wanted to avoid dealing with it but decided to post this to be responsible for my stupid actions.

I had no intention of “mocking” Lee and it was an action out of my “stupidity and ignorance” as I only sometimes watch the news and that I wasn’t aware of who she was and what was going on.

I often think and act stupidly. I’ve undergone therapy and been prescribed medications as well and tried to keep myself active and exercise and be around more people but I guess I crossed the line… I know this can't be an excuse but I’m trying really hard. I guess my desire to mingle went too far. I’ll try to think before I act. I just wanted to say sorry to all those who got upset by my actions.
