Cooper spoke with his grandmother Betty and was just as accountable as he was in his public comments this week. If he was looking for a shoulder to cry on, though, he didn’t find one in her.
“[Riley] brought it upon himself,” Betty told TMZ. “And he has to deal with the consequences.”
In apologizing for his racist outburst, Cooper insisted this week that he “wasn’t raised that way.” If anything, grandma’s tough love reinforces Cooper’s claim about the quality of his family. He made his bed, and now, everyone expects him to lay in it — even grandma.
