Samuel Johnson has opened up about the secret feud he had with Sam Pang for almost eight years in a shocking confession.
The Molly star, 46, and the comedian, 51, were spotted together at a recent charity golf day at Victoria’s Morning Peninsula, where the pair took a selfie together.
Johnson has since shared the image on her cancer charity Facebook page, Love Your Sister, along with a bizarre apology to Pang for an incident that occurred in 2017.
In the lengthy post, Johnson said he once made ‘a dick’ backstage at the Logie Awards that year after winning a Gold Logie for the miniseries Molly.
He explained that he “misbehaved” on a trip with Pang and has clung to guilt ever since, but said he wrote a letter of apology that he delivered to Pang in person last week.
“I didn’t mean to be a jerk and I’ve been trying to apologize to him for years,” Johnson began his lengthy Facebook message.

He went on to say that Pang “is one of the funniest humans on the planet” and that he is a “titan” of the entertainment industry “because he’s so good.”
Johnson then wrote: “A catastrophe is a catastrophe and a debacle together. My shebacle was the night I won the Gold Logie. Sam Pang entered the elevator.
“We were going to do something about where Burt Reynolds went wrong and in the elevator I acted out and said the wrong things. I wasn’t funny. I wasn’t being light.
‘I wasn’t nice. He just looked at me and his face said, “Why did you just say that?” I should have apologized sooner, but I kept avoiding him.
Johnson did not go into detail about what he said to Pang, but revealed that he was so wracked with guilt that he wrote an apology letter with a love heart sticker.
He said he asked comedian Ed Kavalee to pass him the letter “because he knows Sam Pang pretty well, but that was just another failed attempt.”
“It seems I couldn’t do it. I guess (Pang) doesn’t care much, but I do. Then I found out that I would be in the same room as Sam Pang. I could transmit the letter myself,” Johnson said.
‘I made the letter brief, so as not to waste your time. I put a love heart sticker on the envelope. My hands were sweaty.

Johnson has since shared the image on her cancer charity Facebook page, Love Your Sister, along with a bizarre apology to Pang for an incident that occurred in 2017.
“I asked (comedian) Mick Molloy to pass the letter to Sam Pang for me, and Mick just ushered me in and told me to come say hi.
“I’m pretty good at saying sorry, maybe because I’ve had to apologize a lot, but this time I just had a letter with a love heart sticker.”
‘I couldn’t trust my stupid mouth. It took me five years to admit I was wrong and face it. I feel lighter now. I can’t hold on to my apologies. They get so big.’
Johnson said Pang graciously accepted her apology and stopped to take the selfie, saying “it was very kind” and “beautiful.”
While Pang has yet to publicly address their apparent feud, a source said new idea Monday that The Front Bar host was “perplexed” by the post and Johnson’s apology.
“Sam was a little perplexed by Samuel’s post about the events of the night they met, but he also appreciates the gesture,” they said.
‘As far as Sam was concerned, there was nothing serious to forgive and what happened, happened a while ago.
They went on to say that Pang was “more than happy to let bygones be bygones.”

In the lengthy post, Johnson said he once ‘jerked’ backstage with Pang at the Logie Awards in 2017 (pictured) after winning a Gold Logie for the miniseries Molly.
Another source claimed: “Samuel is known for wearing his heart on his sleeve, so it’s no surprise he went into so much detail in his post about the incident.”
Johnson found success as an actor in the 2000s when he landed the role of Evan Wylde in the television series The Secret Life of Us from 2001 to 2004.
He disappeared from the map shortly after, when his sister Connie was diagnosed with cancer for the third time.
Connie suffered a tough, lifelong battle with the disease: she was diagnosed with bone cancer at age 11, uterine cancer at age 22, and then breast cancer at age 33.
She and Johnson co-founded cancer charity Love Your Sister in 2012 and have since raised nearly $20 million for cancer medical research.
Connie was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia on September 7, 2017, at the age of 40, just one day before she died.
That same year, Johnson won the Gold Logie Award for Most Popular Personality for his portrayal of Australian music guru Ian ‘Molly’ Meldrum in the miniseries Seven Molly.
Since then, Johnson has stayed out of the spotlight, only making public appearances to talk about the charity he continues to run in honor of his sister.
After a shocking car accident in June 2021 nearly killed him, Johnson moved further out of the public eye and moved to Tallarook in regional Victoria.
