I’ve seen the comments, the backlash, and the disappointment,” he began. “I understand why people are upset and I take full responsibility for my actions, I made a mistake – a serious one. I outed someone and that was wrong. No matter the circumstances, it wasn’t my place to reveal something so personal, for that, I am truly sorry.”
