Drew Carey, American actor and game show host, says he’s forgiven Gareth Pursehouse, the man who is charged with murdering his ex-fiancée Amie Harwick. “After Amie’s murder, I took a week off. Really, I couldn’t function,” Carey, 61, said . When he got back to the show a week later, he explained that they were filming episodes for “Kids Week,” which gave him an opportunity to talk to high school students about Harwick’s death.
I talked to them about how I forgave the guy who murdered Amie,” he said. “I did it as soon as I could, right away because he was mentally ill, the guy was abused when he was a kid and, you know, you have to be able to forgive people like that. You know, I wish he never did it, or I wish he never met her. When you forgive people, that doesn’t mean you have to hang out with them and be their friend.”
He continued, “It’s important for high school kids to hear and people in general to hear. It would be so easy to carry around … every day think about revenge, which is not coming. There’s nothing that’ll make up for what he did … I really try to practice instant forgiveness and unconditional love, the closest you can get to that, the better you are and I fall short all the time.”
