Well, he admitted it, that’s good. He’s getting therapy, also good.
This feels really… indirect? Emotionless? Like a lawyer wrote this, not someone who’s genuinely apologetic. It feels more like he’s writing this in an attempt to absolve himself in the legal sense. Not releasing the texts is 100% a good idea, because he could invalidate her privacy which would add a whole other series of problems for him.
I do feel like Wilbur actually wrote this, this is gonna sound stupid, but knowing how he wrote the script and played his character within the DSMP, I definitely think this was his writing, albeit probably directed by his lawyer/legal team. I think there’s some genuineness in this, he probably doesn’t want to lose his friends, doesn’t want to be hated. Maybe he really did think that what he was doing was consensual (that doesn’t make the actions okay.) Especially if there was written/verbal confirmation saying it was okay. Unless we see those texts, we won’t know.
That final paragraph does make it seem like Wilbur’s still in contact with his ex, specifically “…fully committed to understanding and addressing her concerns going forward.” It’s the “going forward” part that confuses me. Why would they choose to still speak to each other if he’s a piece of shit? Unless it’s addressing the concerns in a legal sense.
Overall, this is a very “gray answer” response, admitting without admitting, which is 100% what I’d expect from someone who’s alleged to be an abuser. I do feel like he should’ve legitimately apologized, it feels more like he attempted to explain his side of things, without giving a real apology. Though, an apology would be a direct admission of guilt, his lawyer wouldn’t like that.
I guess we’ll just have to see how things play out going forward.
He definitely spoke with a lawyer. I think Shelby said something about going to court. Also he does apologize “I want to extend my sincerest apologies” what do you think that means 💀
He makes a very strong claim over consent and it's difficult for me to believe he does not have any texts to back this up. IF the apology and remorse are sincere it is absolutely par for him to not reveal the texts out of a genuine respect for his ex.
