Following his interview with VladTV, Howard Hewett recorded a video where he offered an apology to former Shalamar groupmate Jody Watly for the first time in 40 years. In his recent interview, Howard spoke about an argument in 1983 with Jody where he allegedly told her she'll "never be sh** without Shalamar!". That argument resulted in Jody Watley leaving Shalamar and starting a successful solo career. Watley and Hewett have never spoken since that day, and Jody repeatedly turned down substantial offers to perform with the original group.
At the end of the video, Howard Hewett says that "40 years is a lifetime to some" and hopes that Jody Watley will accept his apology.
