[Salutation Here]
In light of recent events I thought it was necessary to finally come forward and address the recent [allegations/events/pictures/tweets/posts] that have surfaced about me in the media. Some of what you have been hearing about my current situation is true, however, please know that the recent [article/news coverage] in [magazine/newspaper/internet website/social media] does not include all of the correct facts. What is true, is that I have engaged in some behavior that has been both embarrassing to me and my [family/wife/husband/partner/studio/team], and for that I deeply regret my actions. I am a very emotional person and I let my [temper/problem/organs] get the best of me. Just because I’m [on the field/in the spotlight/on TV/ in the movies/in the Senate], does not mean I’m not human.
I also want to take this time to publicly apologize to my [family/wife/husband/coach/team/studio]. I ask that the media be mindful of [her/his/ their] feelings and give us the privacy that we deserve as we deal with this matter behind closed doors. Know that I am seeking counseling for my [addiction/temper/indiscretions] and hoping that the counselor will help me get to the bottom of why I acted the way I did. I have seen the [said indiscretion] and how it can rip a family apart, and it is my hope that we will be able to recover.
Let me also take this opportunity to apologize to my [fans/fellow teammates/sponsors/PETA/Sports Entity/Republicans/Democrats] for my actions; and know that I will do everything I can to make sure this does not taint the image that you all stand for.
Thank you for your time and your willingness to give me privacy on this matter.
Sincerely,
[Celebrity name]
