Hugh Laurie apologises for 'slightly drunk' response to House criticism.

The British actor, who played Dr. Gregory House in the medical drama for eight seasons between 2004 and 2012 responded to freelance journalist Janet Murray after she took to X to criticise its first season for having the "same narrative every episode." After Murray wrote an article about the "horrific trolling" she experienced following his "witty riposte", Laurie apologised and insisted he hadn't intended for others to insult her. "I'm sorry if people have been having a go at you because of my tweet. Not at all the plan," he wrote on X on Monday.
