Shameik Moore has apologized for a misunderstanding involving him and Laura Harrier.
On Friday (Dec. 20), the White Men Can’t Jump actress shared a TikTok explaining that she had asked the actor-singer to remove a year-old video of them taking photos together. The video implied they were dating, which was not true, as Harrier is engaged to creative consultant Sam Jarou, a point she emphasized in her TikTok.
"I texted him, 'Hey, can you take this down? I’m not sure why you would post that. Also, I am literally getting married and I don’t like this insinuation that there’s something going on between us if that was your intention,'" Harrier said, recounting the message she sent to Moore.
Harrier stated that despite her request, the Across the Spider-Verse actor left the video online, prompting her to call Moore a "fucking weirdo." She further explained, "I just wanted to say something, because I don't like that," and added that she doesn’t appreciate her "marriage being disrespected."

Moore responded with a now-deleted video, claiming "this is all a misunderstanding." He elaborated, "It’s really the fan fiction, man. It’s the commentary... that’s what’s fucking weird." He ended his response by saying he "means no harm" and that the video was simply about "art" to him due to the song it featured.
"That’s it. It wasn’t insinuating any relationship. I apologize for the misunderstanding. I do," Moore said.

While Harrier has been engaged to Jarou since 2022, it remains a running joke that Moore has not dated his Spider-Verse co-star Hailee Steinfeld, who is also engaged.
