Two months after getting kicked off a Delta Airlines flight over an argument with his wife, Stephen Amell is finally addressing the incident.
The 40-year-old Heels star addressed the incident on Twitter in late June, insisting he wasn't 'forcibly removed' and trying to downplay the reporting of the incident by adding in another tweet, 'Must be a slow news cycle.'
The actor opened up about the incident on the Inside of You podcast with actor Michael Rosenbaum, where he spoke about trying to make amends.

'Ultimately, very ashamed of it, trying to make amends for it, specifically with my wife,' Amell said.
The incident happened in late June on a Delta flight from Austin, Texas to Los Angeles, when he was 'asked to lower my voice' and 10 minutes later, he was asked to leave the plane.
Amell began his interview with Rosenbaum by getting this incident out in the open, adding there was a 'simple explanation' for what happened.
Very ashamed: 'Ultimately, very ashamed of it, trying to make amends for it, specifically with my wife,' Amell said
'I had too many drinks, and I had too many drinks in a public place, and I got on a plane,' he began.
'I was pissed off about something else that had nothing to do with Cass, my wife, and I picked a fight. Just picked a fight because I wanted to be loud and upset,' Amell added.
He also clarified that it was not an 'argument' because his wife, Cassandra Jean, wasn't 'engaging,' though she did say one thing.

'My wife said one thing the entire time, which was, "If you don't lower your voice, they're going to kick you off the plane,"' Amell explained.
When Rosenbaum asked what Amell was doing this whole time, he said he couldn't even remember what made him so upset.
'Honestly, I can’t even remember what I was upset about, which was indicative of two things. A, Handle your liquor. I had too many drinks, right? And B, it clearly wasn’t important,' Amell said.
