"I know I did some things wrong. " "Six years ago, I shouldn't have replied to her messages," McGregor tweeted, seeming to talk about Hand. He then admitted that he cheated on Devlin. "I should have ended the party. " I shouldn't have betrayed the woman I love the most. "That's all my responsibility. "
