MANHATTAN — Ines Sainz accepted the apology of the New York Jets for making passes at her, several news outlets reported Tuesday.

The Mexican TV Azteca reporter said that she wasn’t seeking punishment against Gang Green despite her earlier claims that members of the team sexually harassed her with unsolicited comments and catcalls, the New York Post reported.

“I think the apology I received from Mr. Johnson is enough, and I think this is not going to happen again,” Sainz told the Post, referring to a phone call that team owner Woody Johnson made to the reporter shortly after she reported the incident.

Sainz responded that she tried to calm Johnson down during their conversation.

“Don’t worry, it’s not as serious as you probably believe it,” she told him, according to CNN.

Sainz received scrutiny for her slinky outfits long before controversy erupted in the Jets locker room Monday, but the Mexican TV Azteca reporter maintains that her professional wardrobe is perfectly acceptable.

“My body type might be the type that could stretch jeans a little,” Sainz admitted to the Post, while simultaneously saying that blue jeans are appropriate attire.

In the past, she has posed for pictures in bikinis and tight dresses, prompting attention from fans that has nothing to do with her reporting, the New York Daily News reported.

The bombshell, who has three kids, even has an entire website devoted to her rear end, according to the News.

The players will be questioned about the incident Tuesday, and the Association of Women in Sports Media will host an “educational session” about proper behavior, ESPNNewYork.com reported.
