Jake Short has made it to headlines and has angered the online community for his controversial move.

The American actor recently broke his five-year engagement with Off Campus star, Mika Abdalla and now fans are pinpointing moments where he disrespected her.

A moment from 2024 is going viral of the former couple, where he was asked to describe his girlfriend and he chose to say "some bit*h."

Now, addressing the situation, he posted a story on Instagram and penned, "I made a disrespectful, juvenile joke in a clip that recirculated this week."

He added, "It's imperative to me that I take accountability as I am aware that it was inappropriate. It's not representative of who I am or who I was in my relationship,"
