Months later, on January 14th, 2021, ANTi released a video where he apologized for both his inappropriate conduct in tournaments and how he handled the accusations in July. Although he maintained his statement on not knowing Samantha's actual age, stated how his actions were not illegal under a Florida law, and denied forcing her to drink alcohol, he nevertheless apologized to her, stating that he should have done more to know her actual age such as checking her ID. He also dispelled rumors about his group chat with {{Sm|ZeRo}} and {{Sm|Nairo}}, stating that he only used it to keep himself in check and to make sure the other two did not do anything extreme.<ref>{{citeweb|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNUBjiuj6pY|title=ANTi's apology video}}</ref> | Months later, on January 14th, 2021, ANTi released a video where he apologized for both his inappropriate conduct in tournaments and how he handled the accusations in July.
