I genuinely did!! Or at least that he'd been credibly accused and everyone already knew that. I've been very confused by some people's reactions to this news.

I've had a couple conversations in which I expressed how surprised I was that he had been uncancelled from previous sexual assaults, just to do it all again.

The people apologising fall into 2 camps.

Sex pests & misogynists. Many with their own legal run-ins. e.g. Andrew Tate is a rapist and sex trafficker and Elon Musk attempting to impregnate anyone including flight attendants.
Conspiracy idiots who will believe their guru over reality. It must be some global conspiracy to silence him rather than the more obvious reason that he raped at least one woman and had inappropriate contact with others.
