Whoops! While Sarah Ferguson defended son-in-law Jack Brooksbank for drinking and partying with models on a yacht in Capri, Italy (the Duchess of York noted the Casamigos ambassador was just "doing his job"), Erica Pelosini, one of the women he was spotted with on July 31, confessed that she made a mistake by taking off her top.

"I usually never go topless, but my bikini got wet, and I decided to take it off. I know it does not look right for Jack and his family," she spilled to the Daily Mail. "I felt very bad for them when I saw the images of him surrounded by three women because his wife was not there."

"It led people to make improper suggestions and jump to conclusions and it's very hurtful that people are thinking this," she insisted. "I'm very sorry if I caused any embarrassment to Princess Eugenie and Jack. It wasn't appropriate for me to be topless."

Brooksbank was in town to attend the UNICEF Summer Gala, which Casamigos is a sponsor of, but wife Eugenie and their 5-month-old son, August, stayed behind in England.

However, his mother-in-law insisted that the royal family wasn't upset with the photos that surfaced.

"Jack, who was on the front page, is a man of such integrity. He's just one of my most favorite people. I call him James Bond actually," she told the Daily Mail. "He's just a superhero in my book, and he's a great father, a fabulous husband, and he's never at front of house, he always likes to be at the back."

"So for them to make this story is completely fabricated," added Ferguson. "He works as an ambassador for Casamigos, and he was on doing his job, and so I think it's really important that we clarify that for Jack's sake."

Brooksbank, who wed Eugenie in 2018, has yet to comment on the photos.
