Former 'The Voice' Coach Cee Lo Green Apologizes Again for Rape Comments on 'Steve Harvey'

Green was also on hand for some damage control and promotion, with talk of his fifth studio album Heart Blanche which was released on Nov. 6 via Atlantic Records.

"I'm fortunate to still have fans who are forgiving," he told Steve Harvey. "Forgiving and understanding and they do realize that we're human beings and we do make mistakes. I am not my mistakes. I do sincerely apologize for anybody that I may have offended. I've been entertaining you for the last 20 years now I'd love to continue if you'd have me."

Green continued in the interview by asserting that he and the woman who accussed him of assault are not currently in contact."We walked away from it. Really unfortunate, inconvenient for both of us. We both agreed that we would like to resume back to real life, it was something that was blown out of proportion. It's something I'm not even at liberty to be so detailed about... it was amicable," he explained.

As recently as October, there were also rumors that Green wanted to return to The Voice on NBC, which he left in 2013 after being one of the original judges in it's first season of 2011. He reportedly wanted another chance following those controversial tweets about rape and the felony drugging case that severely damaged his reputation with fans. His development deal with NBC had fallen through following the felony case, although he did return for a single episode during season 8 as a mentor.
