Whitman probably thought that there would be no repercussions for calling Lovett the N-word from his company van but we all know in this day and age of social media it doesn’t happen that way.  In a matter of a week, Whitman is saying that he’s done and will “never work in Columbus again.”  In an interview with the Columbus Dispatch Whitman stated, “It was an awful mistake and obviously I don’t know how to explain it, and it’s ruined my life and it’s ruined my family’s life,”

NBC4 also interviewed Whtiman  and asked if he regretted what he said, Whitman responded with, “I don’t know if it makes it right or wrong all I can say is I grew up with it and not a big deal for me,”  Whitman also claims that his family has been harassed and targeted because of his actions.
