Gregg Sulkin has apologised to his fans for the N-word that appeared on his Snapchat pic, claiming that his accounts were hacked.
The 23-year-old actor's selfie with his girlfriend Bella Thorne soon became a controversial post after the word "What up n---a" appeared on top of the picture, E! Online reports.
Shortly after this, fans started criticising the 'Faking It' actor for his inappropriate words.
Clarifying the incident, Sulkin tweeted "Unfortunately my social media accounts were hacked yesterday and my phone was stolen. Things were posted to my account that I find appalling and unacceptable."
Supporting her boyfriend, Thorne tweeted "Omg Gregg lost his phone whoever is tweeting obvi isn't him, hacked."
Sulkin and Thorne were recently spotted sharing cozy moments at PDA date during New York Fashion Week.
