Shep Rose is taking a break from Twitter.

The Southern Charm star received backlash after mocking a woman collecting cans on his Instagram Live earlier this week. Rose was not expecting his fans to get upset, and later took to Twitter to apologize for his video.

"I know some people were upset about the video from Sunday night. It was a stupid joke and bad idea all around. Also a bit out of context. I spent a few minute with her talking and telling jokes. She laughed a little. But yeah, wasn't cool or funny. Mea culpa," Rose wrote on Tuesday in captured tweets.

So, @relationshep thinks it’s funny to mock and make fun of homeless people. I guess if you don’t live off of your family’s wealth then you’re beneath him. Hey, @bravoandy let’s remove Shep from the show. He’s an entitled piece of garbage. Check out his classy response, too. #bravotv #andycohen #southerncharm #sheprose #moneycantbuyyouclass #mailboxmoney #alcoholicloser #endtherelationshep

However, the backlash continued and on Thursday he took to Twitter once more to apologize for actions.

"I feel absolutely sick about all that's transpired this week. I've compounded stupidity upon stupidity. Just know that I never intended to hurt anyone. And I do enjoy sharing my adventures and thoughts with you. But I blew it. Anyway, gonna take a little break and look inward," the reality star wrote before deactivating his account.

Humiliation vs redemption? Shep’s apology tour is coming to a close. Actions Shepard, we know you know THAT saying. #actionsspeaklouderthanwords #apologytour #sheprose #wefeelsicktoo #southernnocharm #bravotv #andycohen #communityservice #charity #std #redeemyourself @relationshep @bravotv @bravoandy @bravosoutherncharm
