He barely gets the apologies out before he starts explaining exactly why all of this is very unfair on him. He even started saying, in effect, "you better all stop criticising me or you never know I might kill myself" which is a classic coercive control technique and really does NOTHING to bolster his case. Like in a relationship it's an actual form of domestic abuse; "Shut up or I might hurt myself and that will be on you".

The interview was all over the place. I could easily write a small essay about it. From the opening 'I'm desperately sorry' That kind of over qualifying an apology always looks insincere. Just sorry will do.

Comparing himself to Leo DiCaprio and claiming the public reaction homophobic. .Victim complex. He doesn't see anything wrong with his actions and came across as quite narcissistic.

Who advised him to do it should be fired but I think no one advised him and Schofield still thinks he can dictate the narrative. He came across as quite a monster in that interview
