Shameik Moore has expressed remorse for a misunderstanding between him and Laura Harrier.
On Friday (Dec. 20), the White Men Can't Jump actress posted a TikTok detailing that she once asked the actor-singer to delete a year-old video of them taking pictures together, which suggested that the two were dating. That couldn't be the case, as Harrier is engaged to creative consultant Sam Jarou, which she stressed in the TikTok.
"I texted him, 'Hey, can you take this down? I’m not sure why you would post that. Also, I am literally getting married and I don’t like this insinuation that there’s something going on between us if that was your intention,'" Harrier said of her text message to Moore.
According to Harrier, the Across the Spider-Verse star left the video up, to which she called Moore a "fucking weirdo." "I just wanted to say something, because I don't like that," Moore said, adding that she doesn't like her "marriage being disrespected."
Moore responded in a since-deleted video, claiming that "this is all a misunderstanding." "It's really the fan fiction, man. It's the commentary... that's what's fucking weird," Moore said. He ended by saying that he "means no harm" and that the video was about "art" to him because of the song it included.
"That’s it. It wasn’t insinuating any relationship. I apologize for the misunderstanding. I do," he concluded.
While Harrier has been with Jarou since 2022, it's a running joke that Moore hasn't dated his Spider-Verse costar Hailee Steinfeld, who's also engaged.
