“I was f–ed up.
I mean, I hit rock bottom.
But I make no excuses.
My behavior on that video is inexcusable.
I take full responsibility for my actions in that video.
I was disgusted then when I did it.
I’m disgusted now.
I went and I sought professional help.
After going to therapy and going to rehab, I had to ask God for his mercy and grace.
I’m so sorry.
But I’m committed to being a better man each and every day.
I’m not asking for forgiveness.
I’m truly sorry.”
