Published Oct 12, 2018
Ryan Adams had a busy day on Twitter yesterday (October 11), responding to comments his ex-wife Mandy Moore made about their marriage, but he's since backpedalled and apologized for his remarks.Late last night, Adams tweeted an apology, writing: "I apologize for my remarks. I was trying to be funny. But I have and will always choose to remember the amazing moments."
He added that it wasn't "classy" or "ok" to reduce his relationship with Moore to a painkiller-induced non-memory.
I apologize for my remarks. I was trying to be funny. But I have and will always choose to remember the amazing moments.

I apologize if I caused anyone any worry. Depression, anxiety/ panic attacks & grief are very real and serious issues.
If anyone is suffering I urge you seek help. And cats. pic.twitter.com/mmm6jrx1Q7
Moore has not responded to the Twitter drama, though it initially stemmed from comments she made in the new issue of Glamour. She claimed that her marriage was "not the smartest decision," and added that she "didn't choose the right person."
Adams, in turn, claimed that their relationship was "doomed from the start" because she didn't like Blade Runner or the Melvins, and even claimed that he was on so many painkillers that he didn't even remember marrying Moore.
"When someone told me we got married I thought they were joking," he tweeted. "Then I realized how many painkillers I was taking. Honestly there weren't enough to numb the shock. Gollygooops."
He also claimed that he'd never written a single song about her.
There's not actually a single song about her. Like not one. Fact https://t.co/fsChxlIBEI
