He said that the comment came from a place of resentment. “I felt so disrespected and thought I gotta get even,” wrote Justin.

Reflecting on his behavior, he added, “I think as we mature we realize that we’re not helping anything by getting even, we’re honestly just prolonging what we really want, which is intimacy and connection.”

Justin concluded the post with a sincere apology, saying, “So baby u already know but forgive me for saying u wouldn’t get a Vogue cover cuz clearly i was sadly mistaken.”
