'I admit, I was tickling Pete's leg during a segment of Everybody's Live With John Mulaney; however, I did not mean to make Pete uncomfortable,' Luenell (born Luenell Campbell), 66, told People. 'I sincerely apologize. It was all done in jest.'
She then opted to showcase her comedic side, adding, 'I hope Pete will forgive me, and I'm still willing to go out on a date with him if he so chooses. And I promise I won't touch him again unless he wants me to!'
A representative came to the defense of Luenell by expanding on her motives during the joint appearance on the Netflix variety talk show.
'By no means did my client, Luenell, want to make Mr. Davidson uncomfortable during their respective appearance on Everybody's Live With John Mulaney. She was just being playful.'

She explained that she had 'heard about his BDE' - meaning 'big d*** energy,' a phrase that went viral in connection to him when his former girlfriend Ariana Grande slyly tweeted about his '10 inches.'
As their romance developed, she found Pete to be 'really thoughtful and humble and just so genuine,' before regarding him as 'literally the best human being' she ever met.
The relationship was not without challenges, however, as the comedian found himself subjected to online harassment from Kardashian's ex-husband Kanye West.
The rapper and producer took to disparagingly referring to Pete as 'Skete,' and in 2022 he went viral for rapping in the single Eazy that he would 'beat Pete Davidson's a**.'
The bizarre music video of the song showed West burying a claymation version of Davidson alive, to the alarm of several viewers.
However a source claimed that The Suicide Squad star 'finds the fact that Kanye included a cartoon version of him in his music video hysterical. He is almost flattered by it all because it is so ridiculous to him,' according to Entertainment Tonight.
West defended the video on free speech grounds and argued: 'Art is not a proxy for Cheap proxies any ill or harm. Any suggestion otherwise about my art is false and mal intended.'
Kim and Pete split up in August 2022, with a source close to the Staten Island, NY native telling DailyMail.com at the time: 'Their break up was completely amicable. They had a great time while it lasted but long distance and different priorities saw it come to an end.'
