Personally I would just leave it alone. We have all made dumb mistakes after a break up. Just let it go and move on.

The mature thing would be to apologise. We all do stupid things in the heat of the moment, so just tell him you're sorry and that you regret doing it.

If you are apologizing only with the intention of getting something back (a "friendship" with him, get him back in your life somehow) then don't bother. Apologize only with the intention of being sorry for what you did. And that's it. Don't expect a response, a reconciliation, or anything.
You can't take back what you did, but an apology is the best way to redeem yourself. And next time you break up with somebody, try to stay mature and level headed about it and don't retaliate by trying to throw someone's reputation over a bridge. Do not retaliate at all, in anyway. Even though your intention was to make him look bad, the only person who looked bad in all this was you, not him. But you live and learn. We all mistakes. Don't make the same mistake twice. Good luck.

That probably wasn't one of your better ideas... but we all make mistakes... and it's in the past. So... try not to dwell on it.
What did he do during the breakup that you felt his friends needed to know? And did his friends respond to your text?

Wouldn't hurt to text him that you're sorry.

I wouldnt beat myself up about it tho and i really wouldnt care too much how he feels about it especially if he did u wrong. apologize if you two were friends b4 all this but it's really not necessary if you feel you just dnt want to talk to him anymore. and my advice for the future would be dnt tell everyone your business especially if they're not your friend because they wnt care and then you not only deal with your hurt you will deal will the embarassment from other people talking about what they dnt really knw about.. think about you right now and what you need. regret is life but forgive yourself, hell we all make mistakes..
