Jason Aldean Apologizes for Cheating Scandal

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."

Jason acknowledges that being on the road, and away from his family, is difficult for everyone, but says his wife, Jessica (whom he wed in 2001), makes his job much easier. "She handles all the stuff I don't want to handle," he tells The Boot. "I'm the guy who wants to play my music and meet my fans. She picks up the phone and makes the business call. When it comes to the music, she'll give me her opinion if I ask her but that's about it. It works out pretty good."

It's perhaps too early to tell what effect, if any, the revelations will have on the Oct. 16 release of Jason's highly-anticipated album, Night Train, but the first single from the disc, "Take a Little Ride," is already sitting at the top of the charts. Jason is also nominated for three CMA awards, including Entertainer of the Year, and joins Dierks Bentley, Kelly Clarkson and Little Big Town among the first round of performers announced for the live broadcast.

The 46th Annual CMA Awards, hosted by Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood, will air live from Nashville, Nov. 1 at 8:00 PM ET on ABC.

I wonder if this is going to hurt his career like it hurt Leann's career. I never was wild about his music except for the song with Kelly Clarkson but I thought he was an honorable man. I think both are to blame, him and the woman. He and she both knew that they were married. I don't care that he went home alone.He still broke his vow to his wife and we don't know how many times he has acted like this and didn't go home alone! He only got caught this time.

He's the one that made the commitment to his wife! At least Blake Shelton cheated on his wife with Miranda behind closed doors. And Garth cheated on his wife with Trisha behind the scenes.

Hi Nanny!!!!!

He was out of line yes...but this woman knew who he was and acted inappropriately knowing he is a married man. She could have had enough self respect to say " You are a married man and you've had too much to drink and I won't be a part of that"! So as far as I'm concerned she owes his wife an apology for being out of line!!!

It takes two. She knew he was married. My son was a big fan, not anymore. When you're married, it doesn't matter if you've been drinking - that is a cop-out. There is no excuse. When you're married with children that puts the bar even higher. I'm sure the road gets lonesome, but his wife was there, taking care of the house, kids and business. For everyday folks this would be humiliating but now the world knows Jason cheated - yes coming onto a woman on the dance floor is cheating - he committed the crime in his mind and that's all it takes before you cross that line. Did this happen before, when the cameras weren't watching?

It takes one to break his marriage vows. The way he was rubbing himself all over that girl in those pics, you know he's been there before.

he's a jerk and a loser ... Id never buy anything from his records or support him in any way now. If it wasnt for his wife he couldnt do what he was doing for a living.

What a dirty person he is. Rubbing himself all over a woman while his wife stays home with his kids.
Ever since he started rapping, his morals have gone to heck.

Both Jason Aldean and Brittany Kerr are idiots for doing this in public. That said, she's hot and here's a good sample of that -- http://placeitonluckydan.com/2012/01/brittany-kerr-goes-to-hollywood/
