Yet another update in the YouTube Sexual Abuse Scandal. [for more info click here and here.]
Charlie McDonnell (aka Charlieissocoollike on YouTube) is was a close friend of Alex Day. He has posted about his reaction and feelings about the situation. While he says he had no knowledge of the abuse, he admits to being aware of Alex's cheating on his girlfriends and takes responsibility for his inaction.
"I didn’t want to spoil mine and Alex’s friendship, or our living situation, and so I let it slide. I never want to be that person again."
I have to say his words leave Hank Green's flippant video in the dust if for no other reason but the statement below.
"To those who came forward with the accusations about sexual abuse and manipulation recently, I have a massive amount of respect for you. I can’t imagine the bravery that it must have taken, and I’m glad that some of you found the strength to speak out because of others doing the same. I still do not feel a real sense of closure from all of this, and I’m sure that feeling must be vastly worse for you right now. I really do hope the resolution that you deserve comes soon."
