“A few weeks ago I made a huge lapse in judgment, but let me be clear: nothing happened between me and my co-star.” The artist wrote about himself and Alicia Wainwright on Instagram:
“I drank too much that night and I regret my actions. I should have known better. This is not the example I want to set for my son.
“I apologize to my wonderful wife and family for putting them through this embarrassing situation, and I am focused on being the best husband and father I can be. “This wasn’t it.”
