Lee Daniels and Sean Penn have made up via public apology, after the latter filed a defamation lawsuit against the former.
The suit was filed last September after Daniels, co-creator of Empire, called out Penn in comparison to the show?s star Terrence Howard during a Hollywood Reporter, around the time Howard admitted to hitting his wife in an interview with Rolling Stone:
?That poor boy, [Terrence] ain?t done nothing different than Marlon Brando or Sean Penn, and all of a sudden he?s some f*cking demon. That?s a sign of the time, of race, of where we are right now in America.?
Settling with Penn, Daniels wrote a public apology letter to Penn, after accusing him of hitting women last year. In a statement obtained by People, he said:
I am so sorry that I have hurt you, Sean, and I apologize and retract my reckless statements about you. How thoughtless of me. You are someone I consider a friend, a brilliant actor and true Hollywood legend and humanitarian.
