A big step. Drew Carey has forgiven Gareth Pursehouse, the man who is charged with the murder of the Price Is Right host’s ex-fiancée, Amie Harwick.
“After Amie’s murder, I took a week off,” Carey, 61, said during his appearance on The Talk on Friday, April 17. “Really, I couldn’t function and my first day back [hosting The Price is Right) we taped the high school show for ‘Kids Week.’ It was the first show back and everybody knew what happened to me. And so, I took time during the break to talk to these kids.” He continued, “I talked to them about how I forgave the guy who murdered Amie. I did it as soon as I could, right away because he was mentally ill, the guy was abused when he was a kid and, you know, you have to be able to forgive people like that. You know, I wish he never did it, or I wish he never met her. When you forgive people, that doesn’t mean you have to hang out with them and be their friend.” Harwick passed away at the age of 38 on February 15, after she was found unresponsive on the ground beneath a third-story balcony outside of her home in Los Angeles. The family therapist was taken to a local hospital where she passed away due to “significant injuries consistent with a fall.” The L.A. Police Department later confirmed there was evidence of forced entry into Harwick’s home and a possible struggle.
