C.K. Lewis just made a fulsome apology. Where's Trump's ? Where's Pedo Moore's

1. Not much of an Apology

It seems more like he's making excuses. But at least he admits what he did and acknowledges his actions hurt people.

2. I think it's a great apology.

Fully acknowledging his shittiness, and why it was shitty. I appreciate that he's going to shut up. I hope he does.

3. I personally see this as an apology and ownership of behavior like we seldom see.

I was not surprised by the accusations. I like the comedian. I was disappointed with another. I can respect his statement.

4. It's better to get in front of it, but.....

I mean, cripes, what is wrong with these people? Who does these things?

In general, people who behave this way seem to acting out part of a cycle of abuse. I guess the first step is admitting it, and the second step is seeking help, and the third step is making sure the cycle gets snapped.

6. Some have been abused themselves in the past. Some have psychological issues that require help

I'm not fan of LCK but he was clearly trying to work through some of it in his routines over the years and it's been fairly visible in other ways.

We've got such a stigma against mental health issues in general and then add our issues with all things sex related? It's a double whammy.

7. Yes, I know that generally abusers have been abused.

I think it's very important to remember that, and that's why child protective services are so important and why de-funding them is criminal.

8. Exactly, it's crazy how we treat so many that are in need. Prevention is not in our national vocab.

5. Apology is only the first step. Behavior must change as well. nt
