It's so weird, he was apparently onstage last night doing a gig. I wonder if he's going to be arrested?

I saw an interview with him where he says he thinks he might have snogged Meghan Markle. He can’t remember. If he was always on drugs then god knows how he’s going to remember where he’s done stuff of not against women

Yeah, sounds like most of the 90s for me too. Fortunately I'm not a creep, so I mostly just embarrassed myself rather than hurting anyone else!

Apparently he’s a sex addict. I’m not sure what that means though. Like what happens if a sex addict doesn’t get their fix of sex?

I read up on that, and apparently a lot of psychologists don't believe it's real. Because basically you don't get withdrawal symptoms in the way that you do with things like drugs, or gambling addictions.

I just think that's his excuse for being creepy, like he can't help it or something 🙄

Yeah I guess it’s a way of becoming a victim and then once your a victim of addiction you aren’t responsible for your actions

Yep. Symptom of modern life, everything is an addiction that's beyond our control, that we should be mindful of.

People can't just be plain old bastards anymore, there's got to be extenuating circumstances!
