"I wrote that in haste,” she said to Fox interviewers, during a time when her son was "going through a very difficult divorce.”

"I wrote that out of love," she continued. "And about two hours later, I retracted it with an apology, but nobody's seen that.”

Her son, she said, was now "a changed man.’ "
