Good Lord bro. Imagine having self-awareness. With the Madison stuff also coming to light, they would have already been in the pit regardless, but this 'apology' video is kind of insulting.
Yes I also watched the whole thing and still found it equally as insulting as the highlights.
My wife and I watched the whole thing, and I’ve frequently watched LTT in the past. We both agreed that the humor wasn’t really well placed, given the situation and came off a bit cringey in my opinion. I know some folks are saying damned if you do, damned if you don’t, which is fair. However I think that if they kept the humor out and it was a “generic apology video” there would be less criticism about it. But again, that’s just my opinion.
I found it very tone deaf. I do think this was written and shot before the harassment allegation came out so they wouldn't have had that attitude given the video had been delayed for 24 hours.
