Now, two men have come forward, seeking a personal apology and maybe a little cash from the comedian. Frank McBride and Kyle Doss say they were the ones who Richards' accused of interrupting his act at the Laugh Factory in West Hollywood. McBride and Doss say they were ordering drinks, according to their attorney Gloria Allred.
One thing led to another, and Richards was soon screaming obscenities and using the n-word. The whole exchange was taped on a cell phone and later posted on YouTube.com.
Richards has since apologized, nationally on David Letterman's "Late Night" show earlier this week, and to civil rights leaders the Rev. Jesse Jackson and the Rev. Al Sharpton.
But Allred said on Friday that Richards has yet to apologize to his victims directly. She suggested he meet with the two men to apologize and allow a judge to make a decision on possible monetary compensation.
Richards' publicist, Howard Rubenstein, said the comedian wants to apologize to the two men but says he hasn't been able to find them.
