Jason Aldean has admitted he “acted inappropriately” after pictures posted by gossip site TMZ showed the country superstar getting close with former “American Idol” contestant Brittany Kerr at a Los Angeles nightclub last week. The married father of two is owning up to his mistake and apologizing for his indiscretion.

“Hey Guys — I wanted to talk to you directly, so you were hearing the truth from me and not just reading allegations made about my personal life on gossip web sites,” Jason posted on his Facebook page Sunday night (Sept. 30). “The truth is that I screwed up. I had too much to drink, let the party get out of hand and acted inappropriately at a bar. I left alone, caught the bus to our next show and that’s the end of the story. I ultimately ended up embarrassing my family and myself. I’m not perfect, and I’m sorry for disappointing you guys. I really appreciate being able to work through this privately with my family and for all your continued support.”
