On Thursday Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick said that he won’t resign because of the scandal he was involved in, but he admitted the tumult brought him to tears.

In an appearance he made on a morning radio show, Kilpatrick was asked if he would resign as mayor of Detroit.

"Absolutely not," he said on "The Paul W. Smith Show" on WJR-AM. "I don't understand when people say `resign,'" the Associated Press reports.

The comments came a day later after his attempt to prevent the documents being made public was declined by the state highest court.

The mayor described the pain he felt because of the hurt he caused to his family as well as to the city.

He said: “It's been a tremendously emotional process for me. I haven't cried this much since I was a baby."

On Wednesday the papers which were released were the $8.4 million settlement between the city and two former police officers. The officers were apparently fired due to the fact that they investigated claims that Kilpatrick covered his romantic affairs using his security unit.

The papers also make reference to the explicit text messages which were allegedly exchanged between Kilpatrick and former Chief of Staff Christine Beatty. The messages were not included in the documents.

The city was sued by The Detroit Free Press and The Detroit News for the documents. The city said that the documents included communications between attorneys during mediation and that it should remain sealed.

The Free Press was the one which reported last month about the messages between the two.

Last summer Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick denied the allegations that he was romantically involved with Beatty in 2002 and 2003. Beatty also denied having an affair with the mayor. The messages showed that both lied under oath and currently the Wayne County prosecutor, Kym L. Worthy, said that she would investigate if the two committed perjury and by mid-March will come with a decision.
