In the United States, in exchange for (public) apologies, scandals are survived.
Friday March 15, actor Pierce Brosnan –
“Bond, James Bond”
– posted a contrite message on Instagram.
“As an environmentalist, I have the greatest respect and love for our nature.
However, I made a mistake impulsively - a mistake I don't take lightly
.
Did he burn down a forest?
Bought a diesel car?
No, he ventured off official Yellowstone park trails.
In a “sensitive”
area
where he took a photo of a snow-covered thermal spring – whose water can reach 60 degrees Celsius, which is not without danger.
Ordered by the Wyoming court to pay a $1,500 fine - part of which will finance the park's geological research fund - Pierce Brosnan told his fans he
"deeply"
regretted his offense.
“Yellowstone and all of our national parks need to be preserved so we can enjoy them.”
“Liked”
26,589 times at the time of writing, its publication received comments of great leniency.
“For all those judging him, I remind you that this man is HUMAN, we all make mistakes.
He paid his debt and apologized.
Let’s move on and focus on more positive things.”
“We all make mistakes Pierce, that’s why pencils have erasers.”
To make his apologies have a little more substance, a certain Carol, however, suggested that he
“personally visit all the women who have been in love with him since they saw him in Remington Steele”
.
“This would really compensate for your misconduct
