David Arquette is now issuing an apology for comments he made earlier this week in which he called Latina women "nuts," US Weekly reports. "I would like to issue an apology for the comments I made on 'Fox and Friends.' My intent was to be humorous and not offensive," said Arquette.

While filming a segment on Fox News, Arquette gave his option of Supreme court nominee Sonia Sotomayor. "I think Latina women are, I mean, it depends on the woman, but I think they are very, they have great judgment, but there are some that are just nuts. I'm just saying," he said. Watch the video:

On Friday, the actor issued a public apology. "I have nothing but love and respect for Latina women and women in general of all cultural backgrounds. What saddens me most is that it took away from the issue of Hunger in America, for which I was on the show to begin with," he said.

"I work in a pantry in Venice California with a Hispanic women named Delpia (who has been feeding people at St. Joseph's Center for 29 years) and she is my personal hero. Having been raised in Los Angeles I have grown up with a deep and profound love for the Latino culture," Arquette said.
