There is a time and a place to deal with such things, and I try to navigate a nuanced situation with respect. for her and the truth, hence my silence. But this situation with your film and my “firing” will never have a court date with which to deal with the facts. If the lies are repeated enough in the public, they become the truth. And so, it’s that much harder for me to crawl out of the hole I’ve dug with my behaviors, so I can support my family.”
He added: “Getting me fired never happened, Olivia. And while I fully understand the appeal of pushing this story because of the current social landscape, the social currency it brings. It’s not the truth. So I humbly ask, as someone who cares about doing things right, that you correct the narrative as best you can. I hope none of this affects you negatively and that your film succeeds in all ways. ways you want it to be.
