Alba Apologizes for Defacing Oklahoma City

Jessica Alba is seriously apologizing for tagging Oklahoma City -- and a United Way billboard -- with posters of great white sharks ... but she's also tossing blame at the shark lovers she got involved with.

Jessica Alba

Here's the statement Jessica just released:

"I got involved in something I should have had no part of. I realize that I should have used better judgment and I regret not thinking things through before I made a spontaneous and ill-advised decision to let myself get involved with the people behind this campaign. I sincerely apologize to the citizens of Oklahoma City and to the United Way for my involvement in this incident."

65. Dumb bitch. I wonder if she would jump off a bridge if it seemed cool enough at the time?

66. And who is watching her daughter while she is out committing crimes? A good mother does not go out and deface public property for a "cause". Ew.

67. Annette: I don't appreciate the Latina remarks either. And you're right about the vapid celebrities, especially Paris. There are celebrities who have causes they sincerely believe in and donate time and money to, Jessica Alba defaced a United Way billboard with a picture of a shark with no accompanying message or caption, took a photo of herself, andposted it on the internet. That's what's making people roll their eyes.

68. I am from okc and I hate seeing people vandalize this city but the only thing that comes to mind when seeing this is, how stupid is she? It's Oklahoma there are no great white sharks in our state or near our state, so why deface our city trying to save them?

69. Annette: I don't appreciate the Latina remarks either. And you're certainly right about the vapid Paris. Some celebrities have sincere beliefs in causes and donate time and money as well as publicly explain why they support thess causes. Jessica Alba defaced a United Way billboard with a picture of a shark with no accompanying message or caption, took a photo of herself, and posted it on the internet. I think that's what's making people question her sincerity.

70. Ok, so she is basically blaming the organization for HER vandalizing, with her smiling the whole time. She is even more pathetic than I thought. She could have apologized for what she did while still supporting the organization (which there is nothing wrong with). She is a disgusting excuse for a human being.

72. Okay, okay you have a cause. You like sharks, I guess? You've apologized, now clean up your mess and repay the United Way for screwing up their billboard. They probably are hard hit during this economy and didn't need this.

73. What a dumbass.

74. Annette: I've been having trouble getting my posts through, but I'll try one more time. She just comes across as a typical insincere celebrity - like the ones who insist we respect the environment (which I do) before hopping on their private jet.

I think we can all agree that this has nothing to do with her being hispanic or female.

She plastered a poster of a shark with no caption or explanantion on a United Way billboard, took a photo of herself, and posted it. That IS pointless.

75. Jessica is like the Tom Cruise of the actresses. Playing oopsie (the apology) after they realize just how ignorant they have been...and looky! ...for the whole world to see.
