Jimmie Allen apologized to his wife Friday for an affair with his former manager.
The country music star calls it an affair. His former manager, however, is suing Allen for sexual harassment and assault.
Allen, 37, took to Twitter in April that he and his wife, 27-year-old Alexis Gale, were getting a divorce, while expecting their third child.
Last month, Allen shared an Instagram story saying, “We Gonna Be Alright,” with emojis of hands praying and a fist. His story also said, “This Too Shall Pass.”
In another Instagram story posted, the singer shared a picture of the pop duo For King & Country for their song “God Only Knows.”
Allen’s former manager, who has not been named, is accusing him of sexually harassing and assaulting her. Allen claims they were in a consensual sexual relationship, according to reports.
Here is Allen’s Friday statement:
“I want to publicly apologize to my wife Alexis for humiliating her with my affair,” he said. “I’m embarrassed that my choices have brought shame on her. That’s something that she did not deserve at all. I also want to apologize to my children being a poor of example of a man and a father. ...
“This business takes so much from you,” he wrote. “It’s full of temptations that can cripple you and ruin everything that you’ve built. I’m ashamed that I wasn’t strong enough to withstand them. I will no longer be a victim of my weakness.
“I challenge everyone to seek help when they need it,” he added. “Don’t not be afraid of your weakness, surround yourself with people that WILL help you.”
According to TMZ, he also is selling his home in Brentwood, Tenn., for $2.5 million. He originally listed it last month for just under $3 million.
That’s really sad for all of them. I’d never heard of him, and when I looked him up, I’d never heard of any of his songs. Oh, well.
For a few moments of ecstasy and ego gratification, the results is a life time of pain and regret....at least for those that have a conscience....and a family. Good Luck, Mr. and Mrs. Allen.
The way the article is written made me unsure if they had reconciled. I had never heard of him.
He’s not much of a star since many of us have never heard of him.
Hard to tell, but my take is no, they’re still getting divorced. His apologies lack acknowledgement of responsibility, in my opinion.
Dude has one hell of a lawyer. He turned the burden of proof onto the manager, made himself look saintly by apologizing to his wife and kids and THEN threw himself on the mercy of the tracks of high holy mental disorder train.
+1
Sorry, people who have affairs are scum (cough Willie/Kamala).
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, men really need to be aware when having an affair women are vicious when you don’t leave your wife!!! It is a shame this man destroyed his family for a piece of strange ass!!!
“HALF!”
Now that is a man’s apology. Nothing like the miserable Democrat and celebrity “I’m sorry if I offended you” type of apologies where they blame the aggrieved party.
What about Trump?
Who? Hank and Waylon is all I got.
i think this is the first guy to say this- and good for him.
Willie and Merle?
Maybe he can write a country song about it.
If you play it backwards, you'll get your wife, your house, your truck and your dog back.
How about just the house, truck and dog?
