After implying that rape isn’t rape if a woman doesn’t remember it, women can only be rape victims if they are conscious and that it isn’t rape if he isn’t successful, Ceelo caught a LOT of backlash from social media followers and fans. The following day, he took to his Twitter to apologize before briefly deleting his Twitter account. Was it too little too late?
“Let me 1st praise god for exoneration fairness & freedom! Secondly I sincerely apologize for my comments being taken so far out of context. I only intended on a healthy exchange to help heal those who love me from the pain I had already caused from this. Please forgive me as it was your support that got me thru this to begin with. I’d never condone the harm of any women. Thank you.”
He’s since deleted the apology tweets and reactivated his Twitter account but it doesn’t change the fact that his views on rape and rape victims is nothing short of disgusting. Was his damage control effective?
