NEW YORK ā€“ F. Murray Abraham is apologizing after allegations of sexual misconduct led to his departure from the Apple TV+ show ā€œMythic Quest.ā€

ā€œThis is a sincere and deeply felt apology,ā€ the actor said in a statement issued Thursday. ā€œThough never my intention to offend anyone, I told jokes, nothing more, that upset some of my colleagues and as a result lost a great job with wonderful people. I have grown in my understanding from this experience, and I hope they will forgive me.ā€

The apology comes after a report by Rolling Stone magazine that alleged Abraham was fired from the series following two allegations of misconduct.

Lionsgate Television, which produces ā€œMythic Quest,ā€ said Thursday that it had no updates on a previous statement it issued Monday: ā€œWe take allegations of misconduct seriously and investigate them thoroughly. As a matter of corporate policy, we do not comment on personnel actions.ā€

Abraham played the character C.W. Longbottom on ā€œMythic Questā€ during the show's first two seasons, but he was not brought back for the third.

He won an Oscar for his role as Antonio Salieri in the 1984 feature ā€œAmadeusā€ and starred on the second season of HBOā€™s ā€œThe White Lotus.ā€
