( CNN ) -- After posting a series of disturbing tweets about rape , musician CeeLo Green has returned with a 140-character apology . The controversy started last weekend after Green pleaded no contest Friday to one felony count of giving a woman the drug Ecstasy at a dinner in 2012 . The woman also accused Green of sexually assaulting her , but prosecutors concluded at an October 2013 hearing there was insufficient evidence for a charge . CeeLo Green accused of giving woman Ecstasy , but DA declines rape charge . According to Billboard , Green aired his thoughts about the case Sunday on Twitter . `` If someone is passed out they 're not even WITH you consciously ! so WITH Implies consent , '' he tweeted in a post that 's since been deleted but was preserved by a Twitter user . `` Women who have really been raped REMEMBER ! ! ! '' At first , Green deleted those remarks and attempted to offer an explanation . `` Let me 1st praise god for exoneration fairness & freedom ! Secondly I sincerely apologize for my comments being taken so far out of context , '' Green tweeted Monday . `` I only intended on a healthy exchange to help heal those who love me from the pain I had already caused from this . Please forgive me , as it was your support that got me thru this to begin with . I 'd never condone the harm of any women . Thank you . '' CeeLo Green leaving 'The Voice ' Yet those messages , captured by Billboard , were soon gone too as Green appeared to shut down his Twitter account altogether . By Tuesday , the `` Crazy '' singer had returned , this time keeping his commentary brief : . `` I truly and deeply apologize for the comments attributed to me on Twitter . Those comments were idiotic , untrue and not what I believe , '' he said Tuesday . That mea culpa arrived just as TBS , which shares a parent company with CNN , canceled Green 's new reality show , `` The Good Life . '' An online petition urged the network to end the program after Green 's tweets , but a source from TBS told CNN the series was n't picked up for a second season due to low ratings . CNN has also reached out to Green for comment . CNN 's Alan Duke , Topher Gauk-Roger and Michael Pearson contributed to this report .
