Shameik Moore is coming under fire, this time for his apology video towards Laura Harrier. The latter recently took to TikTok to call the Miles Morales voice actor for allegedly posting a video she asked him to delete, calling him a “weirdo.”

In the hours after she posted the video, however, Shameik Moore took down all traces of an online presence, save for his account on X. He has since uploaded a B&W video of himself, apologizing and looking remorseful to Harrier. However, the internet remains unconvinced and has repeatedly dissed the voice actor. Here's how one user reacted:

"The Travis Scott apology filter is killing me."

Others chimed in as well to jest at Moore's expense:

"Just log out man," one user advised.
"Did the astroworld apology lmfaoo!" another echoed.
"Na even if there was no ill intent once she told you to delete it you should have. Keeping it up is weird can’t lie," someone else opined.
"Respect women and behave appropriately. Partner with a therapist and get people who care about you and who will hold you accountable in your corner. You’re talented but if you don’t assess and change your character, you’ll lose everything. You can still turn things around," a fourth user advised.

The comments didn't end there, as on the face of it, the internet was riddled with opinions:

"idk how you can say you apologize for the misunderstanding yet you didn't even bother to name laura or apologize to her publicly. and aesthetics aside, you shouldn't have posted it to begin with/deleted it everywhere as soon as you found out that she was uncomfortable," someone stated.
"Bro put a black and white filter and yapped nothing," another quipped.
"The only weird thing u did fr was not take it down when she asked but tbh a lot of people aren’t gonna understand it but i know exactly what u meant by aesthetic i think the internet def gassed it a lil . As far as old tweets go they were wild but u was a yn so idm 2 much fr," one more added.
"didn’t take any accountability or responsibility or apologise for anything at all, hall of fame worthy bad apology," a user opined.

Everyone online was visibly displeased with Shameik Moore's apology, with some even quipping that the upcoming Spiderman movie may be "cooked."


Laura Harrier disses Shameik Moore, accuses him of making it look like they're in a relationship

While Shameik Moore may have since taken down the videos in question, users find his apology video not enough. Here's what he says in it:

“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.”

Laura Harrier uploaded the TikTok video on Friday, December 20, where she reflected on seeing Moore post the video against her wishes:

“I keep seeing all these videos that I’m being tagged in with another actor, and people speculating what that is,” said Harrier. “It’s really annoying me because I’m literally engaged, and that’s important to me. I’m in Hollywood, I get it. People do PR stunts, whatever. People like to get attention.”

As for how she felt when she first saw Shameik Moore’s post, she said:

“When he first posted that video, a friend sent it to me and was like, ‘Did you know he put this up?’ And I was like, no,” she said. “That was taken a year ago at a party when somebody asked us to take photos together and I guess somebody was filming it. Not sure why you would post that now.”

She revealed that she then texted Shameik Moore to take the videos down, noting that she wasn't a fan of the “insinuation that something’s going on between us if that was your intention.” However, she pointed out that the video in question was still up at the time of her filming.

“It’s still up, which is f—ing weird,” Harrier said. “You’re a f—ing weirdo! I’m sorry, you’re a f—ing weirdo. And I’m f—ing annoyed. So, I just wanted to say something because I don’t like that. I don’t like that.”

Since his apology video, Shameik Moore has come out with a single titled "Clean Slate." Laura Harrier, on the other hand, has yet to acknowledge her Spiderman co-star's apology video.
