Ryan Adams apologizes for Mandy Moore marriage remarks

Oct. 12 (UPI) -- Ryan Adams is sorry for his remarks about his marriage to Mandy Moore.

The 43-year-old singer apologized Thursday after slamming Moore on Twitter following her comments about their divorce in a new interview.

"I apologize for my remarks. I was trying to be funny. But I have and always will choose to remember the amazing moments," Adams wrote.

"It isn't classy or ok to lessen what was. I am happy for everyone and doing my best," he added.

In addition, Adams thanked celebrity blogger Perez Hilton for apologizing for causing any unintentional pain. Hilton had tweeted about Moore's initial remarks, leading to Adams' response to the actress online.

"Thank you for taking the high road, Perez. Wishing you & your fam well," Adams said.

Adams and Moore split in January 2015 after nearly six years of marriage. Adams likened the actress to "the spiritual equivalent of a soggy piece of cardboard" in a series of tweets Wednesday.

"She didn't like the Melvins or BladeRunner. Doomed from the start... If only I could remember the start lol," he wrote of the marriage.

Moore said in the November issue of Glamour that she felt "spiritually and fundamentally stuck" leading up to her split from Adams.

"I didn't choose the right person," the This is Us star said.
