“I HAVE COVID!!!! Just found out moments ago…. I am gonna stay wrapping presents… Yes… I have been tested and told that I HAVE COVID!!!” he wrote.

He added that he thought he had food poisoning at first due to “chills and aches all day,” but he still has his sense of smell and taste and “no cough, no runny nose.”

“I have to accept test results… I feel fine now… but I have to be responsible!!!! My Xmas n New Years is clearly not gonna be the best… my last year and a half has not been the best… but I WILL BE OKAY!!!!” he added.

“This is a hard time for ALL OF US… the WORLD!!! But… I BELIEVE in the sun shining through the rain!!! Stay safe and appreciate everything and everybody you have and had!! MUCH LOVE!!!!”

He ended his note with the hashtag “wear a mask.”

All of these stars also tested positive for COVID-19.

Shemar Moore is opening up about his experience as a biracial man.

The 50-year-old S.W.A.T. actor has a black father and a white mother. He chatted with Love & Hip Hop Hollywood‘s Moneice Slaughter in a video message that was shared on social media.

“I am half Black and I am half white. But I am proud to be Black, but I am also proud to be white,” he said (via The Grio). “I understand what it is to be treated like a n—a when I don’t have my fame and when I’m in the wrong place at the wrong time, and nobody knows who I am. Then I’m just a n—a in the street. I’ve been thrown down on the sidewalk in my lifetime. I understand what it is. I haven’t gone through the George Floyd situation. I have not gone through that, but I know what it is. But I’m not gonna denounce the other side of me, because I’m looking at humanity.”

Shemar plays a cop on the CBS series S.W.A.T. and he also talked about having to go back to work and put on that uniform.

“With my platform, I do have to go back to work and put on an LAPD uniform, and I am confused about it,” he said. “I am struggling with it because I don’t just wanna go back and just do the dance. I have to go back and tell the real story. Because George Floyd is real, and so many others before that…I’m gonna use my platform on S.W.A.T with my celebrity–all that stuff. I’m going to speak on it. I’m gonna tell Sony and CBS and my bosses that if we don’t speak on it, then they can’t f–k with me.”

“These cops need to be corrected. Some of them are f–ked up, but a lot of them are good. Some of us Black people are beautiful, and some are f–ked up…but we all bleed red…I understand how bad sh-t is, but we have to stay optimistic. We have to stay hopeful, because we will fix this,” he added. “I can’t do it by myself, she can’t do it by herself–but we can do it collectively, together.”

Shemar Moore is breaking his silence on the sudden death of his former the Young and the Restless co-star Kristoff St. John.

“I’m raised an only child, but Kristoff is truly the closest thing to a brother and a brother’s love and a brother’s mentorship that I’ve ever known,” Shemar told People. “He didn’t have to embrace me the way he did. When I came in and was trying to find my way and he saw how scared I was, he saw how nervous I was. He saw my six pack and all that, but he just saw me and he embraced me like a brother. If he hadn’t embraced me, I would have never got my sure footing in the beginning days.”

The pair played half-brothers on the long-running soap opera.

“Without Kristoff St. John, there’s no Neil Winters. Without Neil Winters, there’s no opportunity for Malcolm Winters. And without Malcolm Winters, there’s no Shemar Moore. And if Shemar Moore didn’t get my chance to try on The Young & the Restless, then I don’t sit here today with let alone this career or this life. Not in this way. And I will give Kristoff, and I always have given Kristoff — and I’m not just saying this to be cute because of what’s happening today — I told him in the beginning because he embraced me the way he embraced me is the only reason that I have the life and career that I have,” Shemar continued.

He added, “I would have life, but it would have been on a very different tangent and a very different lane. I will always give Kristoff that credit. I will always thank The Young & the Restless for taking a chance on me so that I can have this career. Kristoff was there in the trenches with me. Victoria Rowell, Tonya Lee Williams…but Kristoff, day to day to day, he rooted for me. He didn’t have to. He didn’t have to, and many wouldn’t, but he rooted for me; he helped me; he held my hand; he said, ‘Stick with me, bruh, I’m going to show you the way and then you do what you’re doing.’”

Our thoughts are with Kristoff‘s loved ones during this time.
