JasonR’s explanation
This explanation felt more genuine and honest in contradiction to his previous accusatory tones. “When I was younger I was not a good person to her – and I take accountability for my actions that lead us to this place,” said JasonR in his explanation. He goes on to request a “touch of understanding” from fans and viewers and says he wishes for nothing but peace and love.
To everyone’s surprise, JasonR disabled comments on his Tweet. With speculation, it seems like he wants to avoid further controversy and receiving hate. Many fans mentioned that they cannot believe JasonR had become so famous with his clips of sexism. Moreover, in his argument with Tarik, he even calls Tarik “a little girl” which is extremely ironic given that he is trying to prove he isn’t a sexist or misogynist.
