I think it's a pretty unfortunate situation. I do believe in the sincerity of Richards' apology and his assertion that he just "flipped out."
Then again, I always leave room for a little skepticism when it comes to celebrity "scandals."
As to whether he should be sued, I don't think that question is relevant. People can sue anyone they want when they feel they have been wronged and deserve restitution. I don't have an opinion on that.
