I have spent the recent days reexamining my actions and searching my soul, he said.
Some of the things said about me have been shocking and my initial instinct was to be defensive.
And I have talked with friends deeply immersed in the #MeToo and #TimesUp movement.

Ive taken these past few days for introspection, to see if Ive been part of the problem.

But to those affected, I am so deeply sorry.
Thank you for listening.
