You guys remember when Cuba Gooding, Jr. pulled up Sarah Paulson’s skirt during an American Crime Story panel at PaleyFest? Well, a bunch of AHS fans are not letting him forget it, so now he’s speaking out on the incident.

“I have two sons in college … and I say to them, ‘Guys, the internet, it’s a beast. It’s an information highway without regulation. Any image you put on there can be interpreted any way it wants to,” the actor told People magazine “I said to my sons again, I said, ‘The only thing you can do is represent your moral compass and who you are. Because images are going to be out there without your control, so continue standing in your integrity.’”

When the incident occurred, Sarah seemed to also be in a playful mood and totally not offended. But fans still rose to her defense.

“I love the lady that is Sarah Paulson,” Cuba continued. “We have a banter like brother and sister, which is how the spirit of that whole panel was. Yet that image was taken out to represent some kind of sexual misconduct, and that wasn’t my intent. The first person, when I heard about the fervor, I called Sarah, I said, ‘I love you, I see you as my sister,’ and she said, ‘I feel the same way about you. And so I let it go.”
