It is ok to be a good person who messes up by doing a bad thing. That is only human.

Everyone here has such high standards for people and situations they know nothing about. Even for instances like bipolar, through which people can suffer hyper-sexuality.

I know there are no excuses. Only explainations. But it really ticks me off how perfect people on here and off think they are.

We all have no clue what someone else is going through. Stop the blaming and virtuosity. It's garbage.

No one is blaming, in fact, I completely agree with you.

I'm all for giving people second chances if they are willing to acknowledge their wrong and whom they hurt, but also want to grow and make things right moving forward.

Based on his post, it looks like that's exactly what he's doing so I wish him nothing but the best.

This is him putting in that effort to be a good person.

Ageed. People in here are blaming and judging, though. Like a lot. So easy to pile on. Whilst in their own and anonymous glass houses.

And yes, he is just starting to do the work. I just wish it could have been private for him. As it is for the rest of us.

He has enough personal shame. And I wish he didn't have to feel and deal with it on such a massive and public scale. This is for him and his family to go through. I just hate celebrity culture and the voyerism we so clearly exhibit - and even enjoy. Like we should have a say. And to judge. Like we are all so much better.

We're all a bunch of hypocrites, in the end. And it is all too easy to try to tear someone else down. That it becomes popular. And rampant, even. So gross to me.

We all fuck up. Not necessarily in this manner. But we all fuck up. Full stop.

Problem is, in great part, we hold these public figures on a pedestal. The humanity of it all gets all but stripped away.

He doesn't get a pass for this. But I wish him and the others involved well. Gonna be hard for all. And with this gross public admonishment on top of it all.
