His apology is making things worse imo.

Basically its not my fault its others for not getting my "persona".

Dig up you idiot,who let him release that needs to be sacked.

Awful statement from porter. Talk about knowing when to stop digging ...

"Decades in the entertainment industry"?

I genuinely never heard of him until last year.

He was in a few school plays back in the day...

What an awful statement. Having a flamboyant, outrageous public personality does not excuse (alleged) sexual assault. Really shows what he thinks of himself.

Hopefully that'll be the last we see of him.

Being flamboyant and outrageous apparently....................

Muahahaha

What a mealy mouthed apology, he is trying to write off sexual assault as just having a laugh. Scumbag.

Should’ve reverse Kevin Spacey’d It and decided to live as a straight man.

I just hope he doesn't use depression or antidepressants as an excuse for his alleged behaviour

Jimbob1977

One thing that makes me uncomfortable...

Are any of the allegations made against famous celebrities being reported to the police also?

We are in danger of trial and conviction by 'hearsay'. If the person is found guilty in a court of law, that is fine.

Senator McCarthy started a Communist witch hunt in the 1950s. Many innocent people were denounced as the hysteria was ramped up.

Ah Jesus, don't say he had a go at Billy Barry.
Is anything sacred anymore?

His apology disgusts me. He attempts to write off his lewd and crude behaviour as "flamboyant persona", as if it's all a joke that we just don't get. There isn't an ounce of sincerity in that "apology". It's just an attempt to divert attention away from his inappropriate behaviour and place the blame on everyone else for not being debased enough to understand.
His actions should be judged irrespective of his "flamboyancy". Inappropriate behaviour is inappropriate behaviour, no matter how handy it is to dress it up and pass it off as "humour".

He'll be moving back home to mammy....

Is "flamboyant and outrageous" now considered an excuse for sexual misconduct by some?.....................

It's a bit like Lena Dunham's recent apology.

Not really an apology at all. Just PR spin to try and save face.

Bundy is putting his hands in his own pants. Allegedly this is where other Al missed.

Grayditch

It's a shame his career wasn't ended by people being realising he's absolutely brutal.

murpho999

I just can't believe how bad his statement is.

Comes across as embittered and arrogant and making light of sexual assault allegations.

I think he's done himself more harm than good with it.

Does he not have an agent or manager to advise him on this? Although it doesn't look like he'll need one in the future.

NIMAN

It does appear its a statement written by him, rather than a professional versed in how to spin a situation.

jimmynokia

Lame statement, and decades in the industry, He is only 24.

bilbot79

I think he will get great mileage out of this in the future
