A sex scandal left him completely humiliated, but Grant lives to tell the tale with humor today.

In 1995, Grant was in Los Angeles to publicly promote his movie “Nine Months.”

It was reported that he was arrested for “lewd conduct in a public place.”

In a statement after the fact, Grant said, “Last night I did something completely insane.

I’ve hurt people I love and embarrassed people I work with.

For both things, I’m more sorry than I can ever possibly say.”

He captioned the post: “To my dear trolls.

Hope this is helpful.

Now you have more time to spend with mummy.”

Chris Gardner of The Hollywood Reporter captured the moment and posted it toX.

As Gardner points out, Grant’s incident actually happened on Sunset Boulevard, but we get the joke!
