“You know how to make the Jew jealous?” Perry’s dad asked his congregation at the Church on the Rise in Westlake, Ohio. “Have some money, honey. You go to L.A. and they own all the Rolex and diamond places,” Hudson said.
Following the highly criticized service, Hudson apologized for his comments, saying: “I deeply regret the hurtful and ugly language I used in my message in Ohio. I used images about Jews rooted in the worst anti-Semitism in the past, images that at times led to the persecution and murder of Jews.
“I can’t tell you where I picked up phrases and descriptions that became part of my vocabulary. I used them without ever considering what they meant. ...I apologize for the hurt that I caused my Jewish friends.
“With the help of God, it will not happen again.”
