Los Angeles Lakers player has reportedly been sidelined by team mates following the release of the video of Young confessing about cheating with other women.

Breaking his silence on the issue, Young tells The Vertical:

“I am sorry about recording the video. I can’t repeat myself enough on that: I am sorry I recorded that video. I feel horrible. I wish this never happened."

After being asked how the video made it's way into the public, Young said:

“Honestly, I have no idea. Me and Nick, that’s our friendship: We play around a lot. Anyone who knows him and knows me, they know that about us. But I apologise for recording that video. I never intentionally wanted to hurt anyone. I never wanted what was said in there to get out. It was my fault that it did, but that was never intentional.

“I’ve said to myself over and over: What could anyone possibly gain by intentionally doing something that could hurt someone else’s relationship? I never wanted to hurt anyone. I’m sorry for it.”

Following the release of the controversial video, and Iggy's appreciation of Russell for exposing Young, we had been pretty sure that their relationship was doomed.

Not so, as the couple have been reported to be working hard at dealing with their rough patch, as it should be with every relationship.
