But most of all, I’m disappointed that so many people rushed to judge me without knowing the facts, these accusations were based only on the words of a hateful ex who tried to circumvent the truth and get me canceled. That it had any chance of succeeding, even partially, is shameful.
Nonetheless, now that the charges are dropped, I am determined to move on and focus on my creative endeavors and clearing my honour.”
