FOX News contributor Dr. Robi Ludwig, who made headlines over the weekend for hypothesizing that Santa Barbara shooter Eliot Rodger went on his rampage because he couldn't deal with his "homosexual impulses" has been sacked as a spokesperson for Coldwell Banker Real Estate, according to a note left by the company on Facebook after an inquiry from activist Scott Wooledge.
Coldwell Banker posted this statement: "Dr. Robi’s comments on the tragedy in Santa Barbara do not represent the opinions of Coldwell Banker. Therefore at this time we feel it best to part ways with her as our lifestyle real estate correspondent."
Ludwig issued an apology on Facebook (not on the air where she initially shared her thoughts) after her comments went viral saying:
“I was misunderstood on @FoxNews this weekend, when I was asked to hypothesize several factors which could have triggered #ElliotRoger’s spree killing.”
“I in NO way meant to indicate being a homosexual or having homosexual impulses is a cause for spree killing. My job on @judgejeanine was to asses several possible triggers for #ElliotRoger and his behavior #peace #forequalrights However, I apologize to all those who felt offended. That was never my intention.”
