Mary Lou Retton is speaking out.
The former Olympic gymnast shared a message owning up to her mistake less than a month after being arrested in West Virginia for driving under the influence on May 17.
“I take full responsibility for my actions,” Retton told People in a statement via her attorney, Edmund J. Rollo, published June 10. “What happened was completely unacceptable. I make no excuses. To my family, friends and my fans: I have let you down, and for that I am deeply sorry.”
The 57-year-old—who is mom to Shayla Kelley, 30, McKenna Kelley, 28, Skyla Kelley, 24, and Emma Kelley, 22, with ex-husband Shannon Kelley—also shared that she hopes to gain a new perspective from the incident.
“I am determined to learn and grow from this experience, and I am committed to making positive changes in my life,” the 2018 Dancing with the Stars contestant said. “I truly appreciate your concern, encouragement and continued support.”
