Sebastian Lletget, a forward for Major League Soccer’s FC Dallas, admitted on Monday he had a lapse in judgment but claimed he was the victim of an "extortion plot" amid rumors he cheated on his fiancée Becky G after just three months of being engaged.

Lletget faced allegations last week that he cheated on the singer in 2022 when he was at a nightclub in Madrid. It's unclear when the alleged infidelity took place. The two had been together since 2016 and got engaged in December.

Lletget addressed the allegations in a lengthy Instagram statement.

"As an athlete I have always tried to hold myself to higher standard, recognizing the blessings & privileges in my career. When I reflect on the past 7 years of my life, I know in my heart that couldn’t have achieved a lot of my personal & professional growth, let alone navigate the challenges in my life without the love & support of Becky by my side," his statement began.

"Yet behind this abundance, there is a reality I’ve hid from everyone around me. I have struggled with personal trauma and acute anxiety compounded by my own denial, pride and bad decisions

"Over the last several weeks, during a moment I regret deeply, a 10 minute lapse in judgment resulted in an extortion plot. Since this person did not get what they wanted it has now become a public social media spectacle filled with more lies than any truth and false posts aimed at the love of my life, the one person who I should never take for granted or put at risk.

"While this anonymous internet stalker – who I never met, unlike they claimed-had an ultimate goal that was not clear, for me it has been a wake-up call. The loudest alarm of my life. I cant keep running from demons. I know that any actions made that put us here should have never happened to begin with. Pushing right up to the very boundaries of lines that should never be crossed only hurts me and the people I love most.

"This past week of chaos & pain has forced me to face the consequences of my actions, my fears. & my lapses from the past. have half-heartedly been participating in therapy, knowing I have deeply rooted anger and mental health issues that require the same commitment and treatment that I devote to my physical well-being. If I am to be the man I aspire to be, I have to do better. I have decided to commit myself to a mental wellness program to work on the parts of me that deeply need healing…"

Lletget apologized to Becky G and fans of FC Dallas.

"To Becky, you have been the light in my life, my strength, who has always shown me unconditional love," he added. "Instead of honoring that love every day, I have done the opposite, hurting you, and disrespecting the one person I love more than anything. I am so sorry and know I have to do whatever it takes to earn back the trust and love you deserve."

Becky G has not responded to Lletget’s statement. She still has pictures of Lletget on her Instagram.

Lletget is in his second season with FC Dallas. He played for the New England Revolution for part of the 2022 season and before that was with the LA Galaxy for seven years.

FIRST ON FOX: The Democratic candidate for Mississippi governor crashed Republican Gov. Tate Reeves’ tour of tornado damage to campaign after storms ravaged the state and killed at least 25 people.

Reeves, alongside other invited officials that included federal lawmakers and Biden administration officials, traveled to Rolling Fork, Mississippi, to survey the damage caused by the deadly tornado last week.

Democrat gubernatorial candidate Brandon Presley and his campaign staff also traveled to Rolling Fork – outside of his official constituency as Northern District commissioner – where his campaign staff took pictures of him and posted them to his campaign Twitter account.

RECOVERY EFFORTS CONTINUE IN TORNADO RAVAGED MISSISSIPPI WHERE AT LEAST 25 WERE KILLED

"This morning, we toured Rolling Fork alongside [Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss.,] and [Department of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas]," Presley wrote on his campaign Twitter account.

"The devastation here is beyond belief, but the resolve and toughness of the citizens of this town is even stronger," he continued. "#MississippiStrong."

According to a person who was on the scene as part of the state’s official response, Presley "was not invited to the survey by the official organizers."

"Local officials who were part of the response were confused and offended that he showed up to draw attention to himself," the source said. "He appeared to be talking with Congressman Bennie Thompson most of the time, and was likely tipped off by him about a good chance for a photo op."

"It was inappropriate, awkward and embarrassing for his campaign staff to be racing around catching photos while officials who are actually engaged in supporting Rolling Fork were trying to do their jobs," the source continued, noting Reeves "had no campaign staff there, and neither did any of the invited officials."

"The campaign staff identified themselves as a campaign official to a federal staffer who was bewildered why they were there," the source added.

The source also told Fox News Digital the "visit was organized and led by the Governor’s Office" and the Mississippi Emergency Management Agency (MEMA), and that Presley and his staff "hung around the official press conference looking like he was trying to insert himself into that, until staff directed him and other bystanders to stand with the press."

A spokesperson for the Republican Governors Association (RGA) blasted Presley for campaigning off the death and destruction of the tornadoes.

"At a time when the rest of the state has come together to focus on helping their neighbors, Brandon Presley is focused on his own political ambition," the spokesperson said.

"He should be better than this," they added.

Presley's campaign did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.

The governor, meanwhile, has posted tornado recovery posts to his official Twitter account but has not posted anything to his Team Tate campaign account.

Help began pouring into one of the poorest regions of the U.S. after a deadly tornado tore a path of destruction for more than an hour across a long swath of Mississippi, even as furious new storms Sunday struck across the Deep South.

At least 25 people were killed and dozens of others were injured in Mississippi as the massive storm ripped through more than a half-dozen towns late Friday. A man was also killed in Alabama after his trailer home flipped over several times.

"Everything I can see is in some state of destruction," said Jarrod Kunze, who drove to the hard-hit Mississippi town of Rolling Fork from his home in Alabama, ready to help "in whatever capacity I’m needed."

Kunze was among volunteers working Sunday at a staging area, where bottled water and other supplies were being readied for distribution.

Search and recovery crews resumed the daunting task of digging through flattened and battered homes, commercial buildings and municipal offices after hundreds of people were displaced.

The storm hit so quickly that the sheriff's department in Rolling Fork barely had time to set off sirens to warn the community of 2,000 residents, said Mayor Eldridge Walker.

"And by the time they initiated the siren, the storm had hit and it tore down the siren that’s located right over here," Walker said, referring to an area just blocks from downtown.

The mayor said his town was devastated.
