“Yep. That picture happened,” Pill tweeted afterward. “Ugh. My tech issues have now reached new heights, apparently. How a deletion turned into a tweet… Apologies.”
Pill’s fiance, actor Jay Baruchel, also addressed the incident on Twitter.
“My fiancee is an hilarious dork. #imustgladitdidnthappentomefirst,” he quipped.
Pill’s Twitter followers apparently weren’t offended by the picture.
“At least you owned up to it and didn’t blame it on ‘a hack’. No apologies needed btw,” wrote one named Chuck Reynolds, while another named Shauna Castorena added that “tweets happen.” Lex Friedman told her, “Honestly, we didn’t mind.”
