Moore's apology
On Thursday, June 17, Moore shared an apology on his Instagram page trying to explain the photo while noting how saddened he was by the negative remarks.
"My wife was dancing on me. We weren't doing a 'sexual act'. We took a pic while dancing. That's all - if it offended you that I posted it, I apologise," Moore said. "The only saddening thing that I care enough about to address is the amount of negativity, demeaning things said about our marriage."
He also questioned why some claimed they would have a rough marriage, adding it was ungodly to speak against it and criticise his wife. In the post, he also shared lovely photos from their honeymoon.
However, many netizens questioned why some were against him dancing with his wife while showing the couple support.

Christian Teigen offers apology
In other news, US model and television personality Chrissy Teigen released a public apology via a blog for her harsh and mean actions on social media.
The 35-year-old, who was a serious critic of the former president of the United States, Donald Trump, has in the past claimed people online hurt her to the point she had to deactivate her social media accounts.
However, her past mean tweets have been surfacing online, and it emerged that at 25 years old, she trolled a teenage girl who had then got famous.
Teigen shared an officially released statement via her Instagram page. It read in part:
"I know I have been quiet and Lord knows you don't want to hear about me, but I want you to know that I have been sitting in a hole of deserved global punishment, the ultimate 'sit here and think about what you have done. Not a day, not a single moment has passed where I haven't felt the crushing weight of regret for the things I have said in the past."
