I don't want to stay long on the matter because he doesn't deserve the time of day but i do think it's important to highlight a few things before we do ignore him forever. +

Firstly, it's plainly obvious to me he's as abusive today as he was back then otherwise that wouldn't have even been posted. He hasn't changed, he hasn't learned, he hasn't grown, he's not taking responsibility & I need anybody questioning that to understand those points because+
his post shows us why it isn't true (even if that's what he's said) What he's done is use his ability to be manipulative (something stressed in her vid) & he's used certain language that might appeal to his followers emotions to warp our perspective of what abuse actually is. +
He's taken what Melissa's said out of context & twisted it to put the majority of the blame onto her for defending herself, to make it seem like he's the victim (victim blaming) to make us feel sorry for him or somehow question the validity of her statement. +
He's very strategic, instead of outright denying everything she's said, he's using it in his favour, by intentionally leaning into her version of events before gaslighting her to try to undermine her.
He's showing how his mind works, please don't fall for it.
He's showing how his mind works, please don't fall for it.
By doing that he's shifting the blame & justifying what he's done, there's no justification for abuse plain & simple & by doing that & displaying those tactics he's showing why in actual fact he isn't this new man at all he's reverting into those abusive patterns.
What we need to focus on is that he's ADMITTED to doing exactly what she's said, and that's definitely a tiny positive in a completely horrifying situation all round he's just gone and literally confessed to it all.
He thinks he's clever, and that wasn't clever.

Finally, before I end this, i just want to say WE NEED to rally round Melissa & just be here for her & support her, this is crucial because no doubt this is an incredibly painful thing for her to happen, as a survivor myself i can only imagine the emotions it'd invoke +
and he know's that, he knows how this'll effect her, that's what he's banking on, so please just show kindness and love I hate that he's done this it isn't fair, she deserves to stay in the safe happy place she's managed to find for herself with her family.
End.
End.
