Cole Sprouse Apologizes For Insensitive Instagram Caption

Cole Sprouse came under fire this week by fans for a caption on a recent Instagram post.

The Riverdale star is in the Philippines and has been photographing the very real life of the country.

One photo that fans didn’t react well to was one he took of children on a street looking at him, which he captioned, “Well I’m not your parent, don’t gotta follow me around.”

“For those of you that took offense to this photo or the caption, I removed it,” Cole wrote in his apology on his story. “My apologies, and not my intention. certainly not seeking to sensationalize poverty nor poke fun, shoulda have thought more about the words used, and the implications of those words I hadn’t even considered.”

“I’ll continue to post about my travels through Manila, showing all sides of the city as experienced,” he added.
