In the video shared by both Matthew and Renee, the Glee actor addressed rumors that he was involved in, what was reported as, “an inappropriate relationship with a female contestant.”

“It’s really unfortunate that I have to sit here and defend myself and my family against blatantly untrue statements made anonymously, but I have nothing to hide,” he said before reading the “one” message that he sent to a dancer. 

“‘Hey, it’s Matthew,” the actor read from his phone, “‘If you don’t mind, would love to get your number and talk you through some things.’ The end.”

Morrison added that he sent the message “because this dancer and I both share a mutual respect for a choreographer that I’ve known for over 20 years and I was trying to help her get a job as a choreographer on the show.”
