The actor recently stumbled across a meme of his ex-wife that read,
"If you ever feel like s—, just remember Courteney Cox's hair in Scream 3."
He responded to the insult on Cox's locks.
"I have to take the fall for this. I suggested a Bettie Page look. It just didn't work. I take full responsibility."
Arquette and Cox initially met on the sets of the Scream movies.
They played each other's love interests in the 2nd and 3rd movies. They were married in 1999 and had a daughter together.
The two actors eventually split in 2013, but they're still close friends to this day.
The closeness of their relationship was made ever more apparent when Arquette 'fessed up to his hair-y mistake with Cox.
