Jimmie Allen issued a public apology to his estranged, pregnant wife, Alexis Gale, after he claimed to have an “affair” with his former manager. (The unnamed employee, for her part, is suing the country singer for sexual assault.)
“I want to publicly apologize to my wife Alexis for humiliating her with my affair,” the songwriter, 37, wrote in a lengthy post via his Instagram on Thursday, May 18. “I’m embarrassed that my choices have brought shame on her. That’s something that she did not deserve at all.”
