Shep Rose is apologizing after feeling the wrath of social media users in response to a recording of the Bravo star mocking a woman carrying a collection of recyclable drink cans in the East Village neighborhood of New York City.
WOMAN WHO ACCUSED 'SOUTHERN CHARM' CAST MEMBER OF SEXUAL ASSAULT FILED FALSE POLICE REPORT: POLICE
“I know some people were upset about the video from Sunday night,” Rose tweeted on Tuesday. “It was a stupid joke and bad idea all around. Also a bit out of context. I spent a few minutes with her talking and telling jokes. She laughed a little. But Yeah, wasn’t cool or funny. Mea culpa.”
The apology was a change of tune for Rose, who elected initially to go toe-to-toe with upset fans, exchanging insults on social media.

“@BravoTV and @Andy what are you gonna do about that disgusting video your employee @ShepRose posted of him drunkenly harassing a woman on the street? What an embarrassment for the @BravoTV network. Is this really the kinda behavior you wanna promote? Get him off TV,” wrote one fan.
Rose responded to the irate fan, writing, “Always get a chuckle when people try to send me to the principles [sic] office. I bet you were a scream in high school!”

Another Twitter user slammed Rose as using the woman’s plight as a “cheap way to get ‘laughs,’ a notion Rose took exception to and issued his own sarcastic response.
“Omg. I offended you! Ok. Here’s the plan, sensitivity training 5 times a week,” he tweeted. “Then intensive therapy (hot yoga?) followed by a public flogging in the town square. Then I move to Siberia and live in an igloo for 4 months. At this point. I think I’ll be cleansed of your disapproval.”
When asked what part of the video he found to be funny, Rose retorted: “Doesn’t matter. You follow me. You can easily get out of the situation. It’s not a binding contract."
“I am not responsible for your happiness,” he continued. “If I miss the mark in your mind just keep scrolling.”
It was not immediately clear what led Rose to apologize.
