"I want to apologize to all of the people I have let down because of my behavior which has reflected badly on my family, friends, co-workers, business associates and others"
About this Quote
The real subject isn't morality so much as collateral damage and brand repair. Moss centers the harm as "reflected badly" on a professional ecosystem - family, friends, co-workers, business associates - a roll call that reads like a sponsor list. It's an apology aimed at the machinery surrounding fame: agencies, editors, labels, clients, and the social circle that doubles as an industry network. The "others" at the end is especially telling, a catch-all that signals breadth without admitting intimacy.
Context matters: Moss's public persona has long traded on a particular kind of chic disorder - the myth of the untouchable, self-destructive muse. This apology doesn't dismantle that mythology; it tries to reframe it as a temporary lapse that inconvenienced the people who keep the myth profitable. It's contrition calibrated for a world where reputation is currency, and the cleanest redemption arc is the one that leaves the silhouette intact.
