Shaquille O’Neal righted his wrong this week!
The NBA superstar picked up his phone and called Jahmel Binion, the man who he was caught mocking in a recent Instagram photo!
Shaq had posted a side-by-side of himself distorting his face to try and look like Binion, who suffers from a rare genetic disorder called ectodermal dysplasia.
But he informed the Twitter universe that he apologized to Jahmel, tweeting:
Made a new friend today when I called and apologized to Jahmel Binion. Great dude.#alwayslearning #MYBADCUZ
— SHAQ (@SHAQ) April 30, 2014
Ectodermal dysplasia, in case you were wondering, is a condition that causes abnormalities in the teeth, hair, skin and more. Jahmel admitted he was hurt after seeing the pic go viral, saying:
“I was kinda hurt cause I look up to him. I watched Shaq play basketball the whole season and so I’m like why he making fun of me when he supposed to be this role model?├óΓé¼┬¥
It must have been pretty cool to get a phone call from him, who did the right thing by saying he was sorry.
Lesson learned. We’re sure Jahmel appreciated that, Shaqsters.
