Meyers, 40, and Lane were flying into Los Angeles from Miami with their 1-year-old son Wolf when he got into a verbal dispute with Lane, PEOPLE confirmed with airport police.

The actor’s wifetook to her Instagram on Tuesdayto explain that Meyers is working on his anger issues and that the incident on the flight wasn’t serious.

“8 months of sobriety and an unfortunate day of airline travel,” Lane writes. “We were in South America specifically working holistically through anger issues that result in these kinds of episodes. When in it… he is not in a frame of mind where he can really even comprehend the repercussions and necessary response to his own actions. J IS extremely sorry for any inconveniences caused to anyone traveling yesterday.”

Lane goes on to explain that the two didn’t have a fight as reported, just a disagreement about him using an e-cigarette. Airport police were eventually called to the gate when the plane landed due to the prohibited use of smoking devices on board.

“There was no argument, just me asking him to not use his e cig per stewardess’ request to me and him not being himself, speaking very very unkindly,” she continues. “It was out of his character. It was unbeknownst to me anything that happened on flight, as I was with my son with a privacy wall up. We are home safe and he is feeling deeply sorry for any remote disrespect afforded to me, attendants, onlookers or officers. Thank you for your compassion on this ongoing battle with addiction we are in.”

Airport Police Public Information Officer Rob Pedregon told PEOPLE on Monday that a male passenger was detained once landing at LAX Airport Sunday night.

PEOPLE reached out to Meyers’ representatives but did not receive comment.
