Where, in this comment, did you express a word of empathy for the victims? I don't see it...

Your blanket assumption to the motivations of his victims and defence of an abuser speak volumes...

It's not just you. This series, so far, is as subtle as a sledgehammer.

You're not the only person who feels that way.

You have so much compassion for those he wronged. Truly touching...

He should make the offer publicly, to demonstrate that he is willing to sacrifice his material comfort to demonstrate remorse for what were arguably crimes. A way could be devised by which victims could receive compensation without having to publicly identify themselves.

Up to right now, his atonement is hollow. Actions speak louder than words. If he's truly sorry, he should offer financial compensation to his victims. It won't undo the past but it might help them and him by showing he's willing to sacrifice his material comfort for what he did.

What he did went far beyond being "naughty."

Only time can demonstrate if he is truly sincere. The fact that he issued the apology only because he had been exposed does not make for a sincere start. Rather than the empty gesture of getting on his knees, maybe he should offer compensation to his victims.

And his victims?

I'd prefer for him to get jail time or to be sued into ruin as opposed to waiting around for karma to do the job.

yes

I wonder how long it will take someone to decry it as fake news...

He showed no true remorse or contrition. He only offered this "apology" once he had been exposed.

The position is undermined by the fact that he did not spontaneously apologise to those he wronged. He only did so after being called out publicly for it. That is not genuine contrition.

What drivel. Do you really think he did that without checking with legal advisors? Anyone with an ounce of common sense and a few episodes of Judge Judy under their belt could have told him that you need to flatly and specifically deny the claims being made against you and threaten legal action. That is, if you are innocent...

Instead he posted his "apology:" a craven bid to save his career. His only real sorrow is in being called out for what he did. From a legal standpoint, he has undermined any credibility he might have had to protest his innocence. Sorry, no defamation wins for him...

Your lack of empathy for those he wronged is reprehensible and your self important indignation, tarted up with vaguely moralistic and religious terms, shows you up for being truly petite bourgeoisie. ("Petty" bourgeoisie: nice try!)

Even better was when you tried to defend the all-but-self-confessed bully by deriding bullies, thinking to apply that to people who find his behaviour repulsive. Hilarious!!!

I will agree, though, that "cancelling" him doesn't have the right ring to it. I much prefer the sound of "prosecute," and/or "sue him into bankruptcy and oblivion."

Thank you for joining MDL, yesterday. Do enjoy your stay...

OK. I'm going to just go ahead and give that an 8 because I think the two guys are gorgeous! No storyline critique, no character analysis... they're just gorgeous!

It makes for a fun clip but they really should put some time into a full story to show what they could really do. I'd be there for it!

One hopes he does anything BUT "fare well" for what he's done

His letter did not clearly dispute any of the accusations and they were criminal. He has all but said "I did it all."

That's OK, he has a role for life now.... Bully and Predator
