LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - MAY 11: Inde Navarrette at the screening of Obsession at the Hollywood Legion Theater on May 11, 2026

Jeff Sneider has now shared an apology message for Inde Navarrete. The journalist had long attempted to reach out to the actress for an interview. This comes after Navarrete rose to fame following the success of her horror film Obsession and was later announced to join Marvel as Rogue in the upcoming X-Men reboot.

However, after claiming that the actress’s team had ignored his attempts to reach out, he sent a lengthy message expressing his frustration over the lack of response. Fans were quick to call out his behavior. Now, the journalist appears to have come forward with an apology to the actress.

Jeff Sneider wrote a lengthy message to apologise to Inde Navarrette

Jeff Sneider took to X to apologize to Inde Navarrete and admitted that the actress would be treated fairly. In his initial message, he commented that her team should either engage with him or he would share whatever he heard about the actress. He further added that he would continue with his honest journalism going forward and keep sharing the truth.

“I am sorry to Ms. Navarrette, who was and will continue to be treated fairly, despite previous comments suggesting otherwise. She got swept up in a long-running feud,” he wrote.

“I don’t send execs death threats or anti-Semitic comments or any of the crazy s*** I’ve been sent. This app is nuts, but I’ll never leave, because we deserve each other. You’re stuck with me,” he further said while calling out those who criticised her.

As reported by Pink News, Sneider previously posted on X that he could either be a “useful" friend to actress Inde Navarrette or share everything he hears about her, in what appeared to be part of an email sent to Navarrette’s representatives. He added that her representatives could decide which option they preferred. When fans called out his comments as complaining, Sneider openly described them as a threat. He also said he would be happy to be ignored because the situation had been lucrative for him.

Jeff Sneider reported false news about Sydney Sweeney

Previously, in 2013, he was fired from Variety amid reports of unprofessional behavior after losing a Christopher Nolan Interstellar information to The Hollywood Reporter. Later, in 2016, he also exited Mashable, seemingly after backlash over certain comments. How social media reacts to Sneider’s comment about Inde Navarrette remains to be seen.
