A few hours after the video appeared, Jack posted an apology video to his Instagram account where he blamed peer pressure for his "past mistakes".

Growing up. Making mistakes. Learning lessons. It's part of life. The past is the past. It doesn't define me. Living true to myself and being real is what it's about. Thank you for your love and support. It means so much!!! I'm so sorry❤️

He said: "Hi everybody. I would just like to clear up some past mistakes that I've made. It was a dumb thing that I did due to peer pressure at school. I have now realised that vaping and smoking pot, it's stupid and it's not cool and it's not worth it. I've learned my lesson and I've learned it the hard way. Please don't make the same mistakes that I did.

If you feel peer pressured or bullied, get help. But I just wanna thank you for the continued love and support and I love you guys and I'm sorry."
