And you deserve to hear from me directly. And I’m sorry that it’s taken this long.” She continued, "And I take this very seriously. What I can tell you, though, is very simple and the truest thing I know about myself: Not one day ever have I intended to hurt or frighten anyone, a day in my life."

The actress also issued an official apology saying, "To the people that I disappointed, that I hurt, that I frightened, and that I alarmed.

I am so sorry. And to the people that have written, or called, or sent wishes of love or caring, it has meant everything to me and my son, who is my world, as a scout who is also okay. So right now, I’m going to be taking care of my health and my son and thinking of you all with gratitude and love.
