Actress Jessica Alba apologized to the people of Oklahoma City after plastering posters of great white sharks on electrical boxes, a bridge and a United Way billboard. Alba was photographed plastering the posters late at night and flashing the victory sign.
The posters were part of a protest group’s efforts to raise awareness of the endangered shark.
“I got involved in something I should have had no part in,” Alba said in a written statement sent to the city’s local newspaper, The Oklahoman, and to ABC News. “I realize that I should have used better judgment and 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 the incident.”
Alba was in the city shooting a movie when this event occurred.
The Associated Press reported that the police have decided not to pursue a criminal vandalism case against the starlet. None of the property holders that were defaced during Alba’s stint of activism wanted to press charges.
At least the great white sharks got a little media attention out of this incident.
