Whitney Port is kicking herself over a series of provocative paparazzi snaps that hit the Net after she was caught in a bikini malfunction while filming scenes for her MTV reality show, The City, in Miami last weekend.

“Okay, so a couple photos were captured while I was in Miami that weren’t the most discreet, and I’m sorry if they offended anyone, but I got too caught up in the sunshine and the weather that, I guess, I wasn’t as cautious as I should have been,” Whitney wrote on her Web site Tuesday.

“Everyone knows the rough and tumble of the ocean, mixed with a bathing suit — not the most attractive thing ever!” she goes on. “So sorry for the view… very embarrassing to say the least! I guess all I can do now is laugh about it and move on!”
