Kenney was on the “The Timbo Sugarshow” podcast co-hosted by Tim Welch and Sean O’Malley. Casey was asked if he would have sex with Megan. To which his response was extremely degrading. “Probably not, man,” Kenney said, laughing. “She’s not too … well, I mean, if it came down to it, and it was like 5 a.m., 4, she’s a 5 a.m.-er, 4 a.m.-er. Just us two hanging out, like, ‘F*ck it, let’s do it.’”

Megan Anderson took to Twitter to share the video of Casey commenting on her. Facing the backlash, Casey Kenney apologized within 90 minutes of her response. He issued an apology directly to her.

I’m sorry this upset you,” the fighter wrote back.  “will be more careful with my words. I was just answering a question and thought it was all a joking matter. I see I was wrong and I’m sorry. Best of luck with training camp and your fight.” A lot of the viewers called this apology from Casey, “half-assed” and not sincere.
