The “White Lotus” star is now apologizing publicly for his actions.
“This is a sincere and deeply felt apology,” Abraham said in a statement, via People. “Though never my intention to offend anyone, I told jokes, nothing more, that upset some of my colleagues and as a result lost a great job with wonderful people.”
“I have grown in my understanding from this experience, and I hope they will forgive me,” he concluded.
According to the initial article, the first incident resulted in a warning and an advisory for the actor to keep a distance from specific actresses on the show, but after the second report, he was removed from the Apple TV+ show.
