News, Spoilers, Top Story

Well, you can give him credit for trying or lying as the case may be.

Brad Womack has responded to the story leaking out about his criminal past which included forging his driver’s license.

“I’m sure I wouldn’t be the first to admit that I had a couple of missteps when I was a teenager – some 20 odd years ago,” he explained.

“Some of the claims have been blown out of proportion but I took responsibility for my actions and took immediate measures to remedy the situation,” Womack said.

“It was just part of my growing pains back when I was still young and naïve – you learn from your experiences good and bad – and you move on. It ultimately builds character.”
