- Adams assured he has since learned his lesson and apologized to those affected.
In a recent incident, Patrick J. Adams, star of the TV series ‘Suits’, found himself in hot water over a “thoughtless oversight” he made on social media, which he has since apologized for. Adams posted a photo on his Instagram Stories that unintentionally revealed an email address, leading to the recipient of the address receiving a barrage of unwarranted messages.
The situation began with a script leak from his show ‘Suits’. Adams said, “For my own part, in an effort to make light of a challenging day, I screenshotted a couple memes that were sent to me throughout the day.” He unknowingly included a picture that inadvertently revealed one of the email addresses in his post. This led to an upset recipient who was suddenly flooded with messages.
Realizing his mistake, Adams immediately deleted the photo and took full responsibility for the incident. In an apology statement on Twitter, he wrote, “Yesterday, I made a stupid, thoughtless, and careless oversight on social media. This had a profound effect on someone I care deeply about and respect. I didn’t think. When I did, it was too late.”
Apologizing to the affected party, he provided assurances that he had learned his lesson and would be more careful in the future. He said, “That person’s life was turned upside down, and I’m responsible for it. I’m sorry. I can’t take it back. I can promise to be more thoughtful and careful in the future when sharing on all platforms.”
