- 9 years ago
In an extraordinary confession via a series of tweets, comedian/actor Steve Rannazzisi admitted Wednesday he lied about being in one of the World Trade Center twin towers during the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks in New York.
Tweeting in response to a New York Times story uncovering his longstanding false narrative, Rannazzisi, 37, said he was an "immature" young man who made a mistake, said he didn't understand why he said what he said 14 years ago, that he was "truly, truly sorry," and that he begged for forgiveness.
The Times quoted a statement issued by Buffalo Wild Wings Tuesday night, in which the company said it was "disappointed" about the revelation and is "re-evaluating our relationship" with Rannazzisi.
According to the Times , Rannazzisi has been telling his 9/11 story in interviews as a way of explaining how he switched from New York stockbroker to an entertainment career in Los Angeles.
