“)ops” is exactly what he did, though:
I love @mishacollins very much, but he sure made a huge mistake on Twitter. You can't come out as bisexual then say "oops"

Here’s the apology:
“I want to deeply apologize for misspeaking this weekend. At a fan convention in New Jersey, when I was talking with the audience I said that I was “all three” things: an introvert, an extrovert and a bisexual. 1/5”
