Shaun White apologizes for dismissing sexual misconduct allegations against him as 'gossip'

Olympic gold medalist Shaun White today apologized for referring to sexual misconduct allegations against him as “gossip.”  “It was a poor choice of words to describe such a sensitive subject in the world today,” White told NBC’s “Today” show later. “And, you know, I'm just truly sorry. And I was so overwhelmed with just wanting to talk about how amazing today was and share my experience.”

The Olympic snowboarder had earlier deflected questions by ABC News about a sexual misconduct lawsuit after his winning performance today in South Korea, where he offered the "gossip" explanation and tried to move on from follow-up questions during a news conference today.  “It was a poor choice of words to describe such a sensitive subject in the world today,” White told NBC’s “Today” show later. “And, you know, I'm just truly sorry.
