Miles Morales actor Shameik Moore issued an apology to Laura Harrier after she called him a “weirdo” for posting a video that she allegedly asked him to delete. Hours after that apology, he pulled down every social media account he had.
TikTok, Twitter, Instagram, pretty much any social media presence the actor had online has been deleted in the wake of him being called out over the video.
According to Harrier, she asked him to delete the video privately after it was posted, but Moore left it up at the time. He only deleted it in the wake of all this backlash.
His apology didn’t go over well, either, and he erased his presence from social media entirely. For a couple hours, anyways.
Shameik Moore flees internet after Laura Harrier callout
Though Moore deleted all of his socials, the videos in question are still out there to see. First, here’s the video that started all the drama:
He posted this video with the caption “coming soon” at the time, leaving the intention behind it open to interpretation.
After deleting the above video and several other posts from various social media accounts, he posted an apology video where he said the following:
“This is all a misunderstanding. Unfortunately, it’s public. It’s really the fan fiction, it’s the commentary, that’s what’s f**king weird, you know? But I mean no harm, I mean no harm. I have no ill intent. It’s about art for me, you know? The video had the aesthetic of the song. That’s it, wasn’t insinuating no relationship. I apologize for the misunderstanding, I do.”
This apology stayed up for a few hours before eventually getting pulled alongside every social media account he had. Moore’s personal online presence was essentially erased for a few hours, but has since been restored.
Shameik restores social media and promotes new song
His new single, titled ‘Clean Slate’, is the only thing he’s posted since the apology. The song’s name is a bit on-the-nose considering recent events.
This song was posted before he deleted his socials, so it’s not clear whether he intends this as a response to all of the drama, or if it’s just a very poorly timed song release.
Laura Harrier has yet to respond following her callout, with that original video being deleted from her socials as well. It’s also unclear how this will affect the next Spiderverse film considering Moore’s role as Miles is a crucial one.
