Jason Aldean has issued a statement after being photographed with American Idol contestant Brittany Kerr.

“The truth is that I screwed up. I had too much to drink, let the party get out of hand and acted inappropriately at a bar. I left alone, caught the bus to our next show and that's the end of the story. I ultimately ended up embarrassing my family and myself. I'm not perfect, and I'm sorry for disappointing you guys. I really appreciate being able to work through this privately with my family and for all your continued support.”

The TMZ photos show Jason flirting with Brittany at a Los Angeles bar Wednesday. View the photo gallery here, and read the full statement here.
