Singer Avril Lavigne has apologized for spitting at the paparazzi in Los Angeles.
Lavigne was with her husband, Sum 41 frontman Deryck Whibley, when she clashed with the celebrity photographers. According to reports there were actually two separate ‘spitting’ incidents in the span of a week.
The singer apologized on her website for her “behaviour with the paparazzi” and clarified that she “meant no offense” to her fans. Lavigne said she’d always go out of her way for fans.
The artist, who hails from Napanee, Ont., said the spitting was “a reaction to the persistent attack from the paparazzi” and contends “it’s trying at best dealing with their insistent intrusions.”
Lavigne and Whibley tied the knot in July following a two year courtship.
The pop-punk princess has recently taken to acting, with a small part as an activist in Richard Linklater’s adaptation of the bestselling book Fast Food Nation. It hits screens in November.
Lavigne also lent her voice talents to the cartoon Over the Hedge, in which she played Heather the opossum.
The singer’s last musical release was 2004’s Under My Skin, the follow-up to her breakout 2002 debut, Let Go.
