FX has issued a statement following The League star Steve Rannazzisi admitting he lied about narrowly escaping the 9/11 terror attacks. 

“We are disappointed to learn that Steve Rannazzisi lied about being in the World Trade Center on 9/11. It is upsetting that he would fabricate a story about having survived that horrible tragedy. It is also unfortunate that he did not admit to the truth sooner.  That said we believe Steve is sincere in his apology and will do everything he can to make amends moving forward.”

FX will continue to air the seventh and final season of The League tonight as planned. At this point 11 of the final 13 episodes have been produced and production will continue through October. 

The response comes on the heels of the comedian confession Wednesday that his long-maintain ed dramatic anecdote about working in the World Trade Center when planes struck the towers was inaccurate. http://www.ew.com/article/2015/09/16/fx-league-911-lied
