Putting out an apology video on a secondary channel you created the day of the upload is such a calculated move. Make sure your millions of subs don't see it. Lol
@@BazookaTooth707 I dont even like All Gas No Brakes, but what the fuck is calculated about being muckraked by Tim Heidecker and having to explain yourself awkwardly? If anything, there is a defamation case at hand, and a video like this is in EXCESS of what the "public" is "owed." I suggest you sharpen your pitchfork and save the fuel of your torch for actual criminals.
So many comments urging that men should learn about consent to “be careful” and “avoid allegations.” Like no. You should understand consent so that you’re not hurting, harming, and traumatizing others. This is about respect, empathy, and equality. We shouldn’t be telling people to not do horrible things to avoid repercussions; they should avoid it because they care about others and want to be a kind human being. Sex should be enjoyable for women, not something to be taken.
Definitely agree and can see where you come from. It spoke to me in a different way, it’s not that men need to be careful themselves, we need to be careful of others. At least that’s how I understood it.
Good points. I would've just said "Sex should be enjoyable for women and men, not something to be taken" since we're talking about equality here, and everyone has the capacity to disregard consent.
Bars are almost always the worst place to meet women or understand different dynamics of what is an advance and what could be someone just getting comfortable with you. Substances abstinence can help but to a point this seems more like someone who was lost in how to approach women respectfully. Hope your content continues Andrew and you seek some reconciliation with those your actions affected.
Just remember: you don't need to adopt a belief in some non-existent higher power like god in order to maintain sobriety. Don't abandon your critical thinking skills just to keep away from drugs and alcohol.
why is it that all these famous people like Andrew and Jake paul (like many others) have these "self-reflection" realizations exactly when their career (money) is threatened ????????????????
Coming from a guy who has been clean from heroin for 17 months after being addicted for 18+ years… idgaf how high I was, I never pressured or pestered women into sleeping with me. Even when I was rocked on Xanax, I never tried to touch a woman without their consent. Saying that alcohol is the reason you did what you did is bullshit; those actions were in your mind before. I’m willing to bet at least a handful of these women were when you were sober, you were likely just a lot more aggressive when drunk. Just sayin… At least you’re taking some form of accountability.
idk man. it seems like a ton of people in these comments are rallying behind this person because he is an "alcoholic" and is bravely admitting his wrongs and getting sober. ive been sober for 3 years, i was having alcoholic seizures at 24. yeah its hard to admit your wrongs, and harder to not drink. but there are a LOT of videos and people saying that no, he has not "always taken no for an answer" - 1:29 its wicked that you're getting sober. huge steps. admitting wrongdoing can be incredibly stressful. it doesn't erase the past though. there are people that won't talk to me and i totally understand why (and i've never done something as unforgivable as raping an underage girl.) this all just seems rly fucking weird and gross. this apology video was written in a way to paint him as the good guy STILL. after all of this. how do you think the people that did say "no" feel about listening to him say "he's not that guy". there are fucking dozens of people saying this. getting sober doesn't make you a good person.
Channel 5 is literally one of the best channels I've ever seen. Please turn this into a learning and development moment, so you can come back to the community with a new perspective and continue to provide more fantastic raw insights into the world that we live in
For real. He shouldn't let this stop him. Yes what he did was wrong and people will always comment about it but just man up and take it. The world needs his content
Why did you crumble like that dude don’t let women push you around and make you feel like you did something wrong. If they went home with you it was their choice. If they slept with you it was their choice unless you’re drugging women and dragging them home by their hair you did absolutely nothing wrong and you need to stop apologizing like a total cuck
@@Dave102693 Prison for what? He insisted to have sex with girls, that's the only thing we know so far. Anyone insisting and pressuring someone for sex should go in prison??? Are you for real?
Honestly I don't buy it, especially after the "I've always taken no for an answer" I've seen how you gaslight women you wanna sleep with Andrew, why do you think it will work with me?
Dang man. I was wondering what happened. Why my feed wasn't getting that great channel 5 content anymore. Continue to atone for your actions, learn, and move forward. It doesn't help to completely stop your life because of a mistake. It is possible for redemption. Coming from an addict that did some awful stuff to people.
I sa girls when I was 13, and got caught. The humiliation lead me to completly avoid women. Still I am 27 now; I avoided a pretty girl that was clearly into me (she sat next to me, she ask me to accompany her to have lunch bu I refused). Thank god I am bi and I had sex at 21, right before 22. I think I would have killed myself.
Hey guys defending Andrew, I guess Terry Crews “wasn’t really SAed” then too right? Considering AC did the exact same to multiple women, as the assault Terry Crews is applauded for speaking out on. I guess Brendan Fraser, too, would be an attention seeking clout goblin, for daring to speak publicly, according to those defending AC’s actions as “just flirting”, correct?
I used to be crack addict who would rob and attack people. When I joined NA I was confronted with the person I'd become. Accountability was only the beginning when I admitted that my life was unmanageable to drugs. It was becoming of service to those who suffer like I did that really created a change. Go to meetings, get a sponsor, and do the twelve steps. I am sure you can do this. Good luck man
@@blakeanderson5011 drugs rewire your brain in a way that makes you believe that you'll die without them. You're in no position to judge him if you haven't been through addiction yourself because you simply can't understand what it's like. I went to rehab with a girl that beat up her mom when she refused to give her money and you'd never believe she was capable of that if you'd meet her today when shes been clean for multiple years.
@@kitty-yg1bg lol I’ve been in recovery for 2 years. I shouldn’t be judging too hard, and I get that owning your mistakes come with accepting what you’ve done… but even at my worst I never put my hands on people like that. Sure a lot of lying and omitting the truth, burned bridges and all of that but drugs really shouldn’t excuse violence or sexual misbehavior. These comments don’t really get anyone anywhere I was being reactionary if I’m being honest.
@@MoonmanSpacejam essentially all I was saying is that being violent and stealing from people is wrong, even the original commenter agrees that his actions are wrong, but got forbid I do… ???? This conversation is pointless

@@sceleratis3578 its a biological thing thats why our leaders are putting soy in our food to make us more soft and dont be mean to girls! they dont deserve it!
1:29,, you obviously have a pattern of not taking no as an answer tho... thats what youre apologizing for. pressuring somebody into a yes after a no is not taking no for an answer
@@dillonwoodstock513 pressuring somebody into saying yes is not consent and is literally the definition of not taking no as an answer. if he's pressured a girl into sexual intercourse, he has raped her. if he's pressured a girl into sexual acts outside of intercourse, he has sexually assaulted her.
The behavior you describe was, until very recently, GLORIFIED by most male-dominated cultures across the world. At least now we can move forward and start to shut down some of this toxic behavior. Admitting to it and addressing it as an issue is a good start
Nah, that's sh!tty people not teaching their kids proper morals and ethics. Being a degenerate is glorified by social media and people you hang out with if you don't have a proper upbringing.
@@aJazzcat You picked one of the most made fun of subcultures in the west. And one which the vast majority of men don't delve into. Either way pick up culture doesn't say that you should touch girls when they tell you no, or fight their boyfriends when they reject you, and especially to not stalk the same couple afterwards
@@MONSTERKILL2013 he's literally referring to all of the same shit that PUA people say in this video. "If I don't go home with someone I'm a loser. If someone says no at first, they're playing hard to get. Persistence is a compliment" Those sentiments don't sound familiar to you? I'm not defending him being a sex pest or forcing himself on people. Anyone should know better. But that toxic mindset is still everywhere, just no longer dressed up in a goofy ass fedora. It's not like PUA culture owns toxic masculinity, but that shit influenced a ton of people by highlighting and encouraging toxic sex pest behavior in men. You can see it everywhere
therapy bills arent that expensive lol , what should he also be investing in s&p500 for them while hes at it too since hes suddenly responsible for all they bills 😂😂?
"i've always taken no for an answer, i never crossed that line" *immediately confesses to doing habitual sexual coercion* also when tf are you going to apologize to the victims? or are you waiting until step 9?
He apologized to the victims in the video, and "no as an answer" in this context refers to acting on sexual impulse before pestering into consent. Stop trying to demonize people who are being completely upfront and taking accountability for their behavior.
His apologies to the victims is none of our business. People do these insincere, vapid public "apologies" so people can engage in this vampiric moral crusade, the same kind of shit you're doing with that comment.
A lot of boys growing up in our generation (I'm also 25) were kinda raised wrong. In my Mormon community I especially remember thinking that I need to find a "woman" and that I deserved her like she was entitled to me. Being a "ladies man" and chasing girls Is commonly praised by older people haha. But it doesn't make it right. Everyone should have the same freedoms and body language is a valid response.
I feel like regardless of whether people view this apology as enough to keep watching channel 5, it is super messed up that most people will never see this video because it wasn’t posted on the main. I didn’t find out about what happened until a year after everything went down, same with a lot of my friends. Deliberately not addressing your audience by putting your apology on a completely new channel with no subscribers is wild and makes a seemingly alright apology look super disingenuous.
@@kerolokerokerolobecause he knows there's a lot worse to come out? You can absolutely tell he s a wrong un..before the " alcoholism". This is just what he s been advised to release( and not on his main account). It just sounds like the many S.A scripted " apologies" we ve heard from these types of individuals before.
What girl invites a dude into their bed and then acts surprised when something bad happens? 🤡 the U.S. should have an entire class in grade school dedicated to accountability and poor decision making. middle
Nice to see someone respond with willingness to grow and improve rather than denial and defensiveness, I'm sure it won't be an easy journey but one well worth undergoing
You’re making it out as though nobody has ever told you what you’re doing is inappropriate. Many of the stories (with screenshot evidence) show that women have been trying for years to tell you how creepy you’re being, and only now that the fans and your hero’s have gathered around with pitchforks are you admitting you have a problem. There is something dishonest about pretending this is a new discovery, it seems more like you didn’t want to stop until you were forced to, and this shows a lack of respect for your victims and women in general. Where was the radical listening? Please be more honest in any future statements if you want people to learn from this.
@@On_The_Piss no goal, just don't like to see lies mixed into an apology of this magnitude. It's a big deal to pretend that you had no idea you were doing wrong when the people you have been abusing told you all along about the harm you are doing. Andrew was fortunate to receive that kind of communication from these women, people really liked and respected him, and he's a bastard for not listening to them and continuing to cause harm after being made aware of what he was doing.
@@chachee21 OK. He’s a bastard. So what now? Does he have a chance to fix what he did? I’m not sure that there’s anything he could have said that you would accept. This is where the punitive over rehabilitative thing comes in. Do you believe in rehabilitation or punishment?
@@On_The_Piss I believe in consequences and rehabilitation, seems like people are putting the cart in front of the horse, trying to get him forgiven real quick and brush this under the rug. I wonder how many people have read the accounts of what he has done, noticed the creepy patterns, I wonder how many people here have known a real sexual predator. Anyway, this apology was carefully crafted to help people move on and see Andrew in a positive light, and I think not being honest about how long he has known this is not ok is a big part of this. I think if people lie and forgive and rush to get back on track, they are likely to get back to their old ways, and be more careful about it in the future.
@@chachee21 Taking the punitive approach is easy, it’s satisfying - but I don’t think it solves anything, and frankly I don’t think ruining Andrew’s life will improve the lives of his victims. A conversation needs to be had, and I think a lot of men and boys will learn from what Andrew did - which is what is important. Nothing will change unless these societal issues are faced head on - with understanding and rehabilitation - rather than punishment and retribution.
Always try to be a better person than you were yesterday. You seem like you're willing to, but nobody knows that except you, at least at this point in time. I'm not an attorney, investigator, judge etc.,but all of the women deserve justice, In whatever capacity that most ppl agree with. And people have to start listening to women. They are our moms, daughters, & sisters
@@yungjiggamayne2262 look at all the comments, dont get me wrong I agree with some of them but its just fans glazing him and being proud that he came forward with no bs
I am a woman. And I have done the same. I have begged and cohorced sex in the past under the influence as well. I wish I knew more of the stories from the victims here. All I have seen so far if this. I think you are 25 and if you get this all figured out you will be better for it. I wish I had quit drinking back then. And now I am finally at an old age quitting due to heart issues. I feel for you and those who were hurt. I hope everyone can heal from this. I will always appreciate your eye on the world. And I hope we don't lose your voice. I hope everyone can heal. I miss your news but I appreciate you taking a step back and getting help.
As someone who has experienced that from a woman who did exactly what you described I'll tell you something. You don't heal. No one heals in fact. It's called baggage.
ignore astronomy, he is trying to make you feel guilty for some reason. it sounds like you have aged a lot and obviously do not do that anymore/learned from your mistake. Let me just quickly say that while astroboy is sort of right, he is also wrong. You do heal, but at the same time you do keep a scar ('baggage' as he said). I think Andrew knows this and has learned like you have. I also experienced this from a woman. In fact, I experienced it not too long before all the Andrew allegations were going down so I felt like at the time I had a very unique perspective when it came to the whole thing. It is quite different from a man doing it and a woman doing it. It is still so very complicated and difficult to talk about because on one hand, it is a bad horrible thing to do to a person. like was mentioned, it leaves you with baggage and it lays heavy on your mind. It makes you question your own behaviour like how could i have delt with her better or whatnot. And i can only imagine it is even harder for women when they deal with it if it is a man who coerces them. However on the other hand, (in my case, your case and it seems like in andrews case) the perpetrator was heavily intoxicated. So even as the 'victim' i remember feeling (and still feel) "sorry" in a way (lack of a better term) for the perpetrator. I dont really know what im trying to say other than, Ive seen that bad part in a person who i was friends with. If that person got cancelled because of what they did to me I would not feel good about it nor would i feel like they deserved to be banished and cancelled. Maybe it is truly that different for women-men and men-women but i cant see andrew as this evil person who does not deserve a voice and second chance.
@@astroboy3002 People can absolutely heal. It takes work and often professional help. "Baggage" is a damaging and antiquated term for untreated trauma.
Why did you crumble like that dude don’t let women push you around and make you feel like you did something wrong. If they went home with you it was their choice. If they slept with you it was their choice unless you’re drugging women and dragging them home by their hair you did absolutely nothing wrong and you need to stop apologizing like a total cuck
@@astroboy3002 As somebody who's also been the victim of SA from a woman, I completely disagree with everything you've said. Healing can happen, and I'm happy that the person you replied to has done the personal work to confront what they did and recognise how it may have hurt people.
As a woman that this has happen to I can’t forgive a man that forces himself on a woman. This person should be in jail the fact he’s sitting in a mansion… telling us about how he thought it was ok to assault someone is sick
@@braidena1633 look I don’t live in the Middle East so what your dad does to your mom is none of my business.

@@jessicasweetberry3935 in the US you need evidence to convict someone, which there isn't in Andrew's case so, he's free for life. Also the middle east isn't a country idk what you're talking about And you never answered why u didn't say no
@@braidena1633 I didn’t say the Middle East is a country. I said I don’t want to live in your backward ass country whichever middle eastern garbage one you live in. God you can’t read you are a fucking idiot. Maybe if you spent less time sexually assaulting and harming women and more time reading a book you wouldn’t look so stupid The only way you are going to get a woman is if you blow yourself up or do what Andrew does
From what I understand, he didn’t physically impose himself unto anyone. Rather, he simply coerced women into sleeping with him after they had already denied his advances. So while I sympathize with the women involved and would hope to see this incident bring forth a nuanced discussion towards a better understanding of go-go’s and no-no’s , I wouldn’t go so far to claim he’s a rapist nor deserving of jail-time
Alcohol changes people man. People do things drunk they would never think of doing when sober. Of course this doesn't mean they're not still responsible for their actions and the harm they've caused but its not a coincidence that most murderers are under the influence at the time.
As a rando who’s been a patreon member and a loyal viewer since the first 2 AGNB vids, I really wish you would upload this to the channel 5 TH-cam. I understand the devastating effect alcohol and substances can have. But if you sincerely mean this statement, I think you should publish it on your main platform. I do not think of you as some predator who needs to be cancelled, but this statement was pretty lacking in terms of specific actions by you that are being reported, whether true or false. I have hope for you, I think you’re brilliant, but there are details in these accusations that should be clarified to your viewers, should you wish for them to continue watching and supporting you. I have a great appreciation for your work, please don’t let your strongest supporters down by evading these accusations or refusing to offer another perspective.
Almost everyone I know has seen channel 5, but when I say the name “Andrew Callaghan” they don’t know who I’m talking about. If this video is truly sincere, upload it to channel 5.
@@dranelemakolWell it is a Google search away but anyway they were Caroline Elise, Dana online, and a couple others who want to remain anonymous. Thats as much as I know, it may be more.
@bleachknight90 I understand that point and I want to believe that's what he was thinking. I just think he worded that extremely badly if that's the case. Also if that's true he's coercing the women especially by involving alcohol. I really liked Andrew and his work, I'm really dissapointed by him and I do think it's good he recognizes his huge mistakes and is working towards fixing them.
All gas no brakes into Channel 5 was some of the best content lately and it was surprising to see it just abruptly stop with no follow up. Just watching this and realising that C5 is probably gone now, yet at the same time i have a lot of respect for Andrew - it takes a lot of courage and responsibility to actually follow through on serious decisions, put everything on stop and work on the matter at hand. Don't see a lot of that lately, usually everyone is back the next day after filming an "apology video", but it seems like there's quite a lot of integrity in this person to walk the walk, not just babble and virtue signal. Still feeling sad, a lot of other media personalities commit these things every Friday and just go on like nothing happened, producing rage inducing content that divides the world for profit, while we lost a very valuable, honest insight into the real America as it is, with its quirks, talents, b*ttholes and all. Asking unbiased questions and letting people speak their minds is a skill that's not in great demand. Looking forward to Andrew coming to peace with his past, accepting it and moving on as a better person.
That's a funny way of saying "there's evidence I'm a r@pist" and "I harassed enough women I can't put a number to it." Must have been the beer's fault you hid this from your main. 😅 Guys, he's a _good_ r@pist just hear him out! 🤦♂

Why are people so accepting of this guys admission of guilt for doing the same behaviors that sienna mae was accused of and she's been written off permanently? I swear women are being attacked at all angles.
@@morgancody6752 a woman who has allegations of sexual assault on a man. I think they were young adults if I'm not mistaken. My point is the double standard. There's videos about it on YT.
Because so so many men are guilty of this behaviour so they are in here defending him and patting him on the back, that is why, that's the sickening truth.
@@morgancody6752 no. By saying that she's been written off in comparison to Andrew who has not for the exact same allegations is not a defense of said person. It is an indication of inconsistent social moralism; to which, I deduced is because of sexism: she being a woman, easier to be erased than that of a man. Hence, double standard. You are injecting your own concept into my comparison. You are at the wrong vantage point. You think I'm saying she should be receiving as positive comments as he is because she's "innocent". What I am actually saying is: he should be receiving as negative comments as she did, because he's "guilty". (Quotes to maintain the allegations) But hey, feel free to think what you will. I explained my stance clearly in this reply.
@@morgancody6752 Fake apology is something that we can agree on. I do think there is a double standard here, the typical men vs women in the eyes of sexual activity, but its more of a general conceptualization than an isolation of only these two individuals pinned together. Extrapolating.
4 years sober from heroin here, I want to say your story echos a lot of addict's stories pre-sobriety. I hope you're finding tolerance in the recovery community. As a woman who is also a fan this for sure was disappointing, but I wildly appreciate you understanding the role alcohol played. It can really make some of us just...shitty, shitty bad and selfish. This is the most accountability I've ever seen anyone take, for better or for worse. I'm with you though, and with the girls (I don't think a side has to be picked). Lots of love, please take care of yourself so you can be here to see and write your own redemption arc.
Unfortunately despite seemingly taking accountability, it appears very likely that he’s committed sex crimes that go way beyond anything he may have seemed to take responsibility for here. Until he acknowledges the full situation and stops lying about it (“I’ve always taken no for an answer” being the most blatant lie) I’d say I’m on the side of the victims
As I recovering heroin addict myself I just want to say I fully agree.. As bad as it sounds there is huge part of me that empathizes and relates with him. Because I know what it’s like to be that “shitty” person. And then having that “wtf” moment. That “what have I done..” feeling. Beautiful comment btw. Wishing you the best in your recovery
Because there wouldn’t be much sex without someone initiating. Not raping. Not forcing. Not gangbanging drunk girls at frat parties. Not spiking drinks. Just being persistent. That’s how it goes down. U can also go the 40 yr old virgin route, no worries. Also, physically respecting ppls choices is important, but honestly I don’t think asking more than once should be a cancellation offense as long as you are not in authority over the other person and they always have an option to leave your presence. Grown up stuff.
@@TDashem This completely ignores the power dynamics between males and females, and the fact that he didn't just keep pestering them until they said yes, he was also groping, kissing, and sticking his hand down their pants. Very disgusting to try and infantalize sexual assault victims like you are as well. You also don't need to be a greasy, pushy, creep to have sex with a woman if you're genuinely likeable, nice, attractive, etc so nobody has to behave anywhere near how Andrew has, and if you can't hook up with anyone at a bar that's just a you problem.
@@Remixersoloman I agree about physical assault being wrong regardless of sex(as I clearly stated). I don’t agree about power dynamics. Not in this day and age where women and men both have the right and ability to say no and exit the situation if uncomfortable. To say someone wore you down into having sex is lack of accountability if you are an adult.
This response banks on you not knowing the allegations beyond that one sleepover tiktok. Andrew is not being accused of drunken impulsive behaviour or being a pushy weirdo. Having looked into the allegations, this inspiring reflection on toxic masculinity is a smokescreen and an insult.
@@darthwookiee77 He grabbed someones hand and forced it down his pants, as well as forcing his hands into their clothes. Really fucked up andrew is basically trying to seeprate and do divide and conquer on these incidents
Take the time to reflect straighten yourself out. Make amends with who you have wronged. You have your whole life ahead of you. You have a gift with your films. You make people laugh and feel more understanding of to their fellow human beings. Don't let this silence you forever.
My daughter was assaulted by someone like you. He and his family took a more rape supportive approach -- gaslighting her, calling her "bipolar," "crazy," and a liar. So I appreciate the steps -- no matter how small -- you are taking toward personal responsibility for your behaviors and healing from misogyny. You take these steps not just for your own betterment but as an example to all men. I hope they are watching.
watch the Lex Fridman interview.. they talk about just one 'person'. this whole thing is how he is the the one suffering just like your daughter... read what the girls said, some of them are 17... here he is saying he did it multiple times but he didnt know it is a pattern... in the Lex Fridman interview its just this girl whos trying to extort him of money and its happened a long time ago when he was not famous,
"I thought persistence was a form of flattery"... Yooo, I never considered that this would be the mindset of guys whenever they do this. This helps me see how they don't see themselves as a creep. Idk, I appreciated hearing that perspective..
I think that's the core of Andrew's issue, is that he didn't see it as an issue, girls kept reinforcing it by eventually saying yes, and young-man-brain rationalized persistence since it's a cultural norm. Tbh dude probably has some mommy-issues and definitely has a drinking problem (and therefore a thinking problem). Good or you to understand the issue and not just call someone names or demand he be locked up👌
Why? You know if it really happened? I don’t, just came across this cause I saw an old vid, then wondered where he went. Can’t seem to find much else. What did he do ?
Yeah all you have to do is not touch women when they dont want to be touched. I don't think you can really "undo" or "come back" from that. He needs to be identified as a sex offender and women around him in the future should not be around him without other people.
He knew what he was doing. People he assaulted told him the affects of his behavior and that it made them very uncomfortable, people have come out about his behavior before which he would surely see, and if you look into most of the cases and stories, they literally would say no at least 5 times and he would just keep pushing or even start grabbing them after they say no. He is still in denial and he knew what he was doing until he was forced to apologize for it. Now I hope this apology is sincere and he will actually work on himself, but claiming he didn't know what he was doing was wrong is just a lie. Do some research on his behaviors before trusting this video because I almost trusted this until I looked into it more. A lot of his assualt cases were on underage women as well. I don't know what caused him these severe behavioral and mental issues but I do hope he actually acknowledges the full extent of what he did, makes this as right as he can with the victims, and actually makes changes to himself with deep psychological work.
When younger people create a culture around not giving up on pursuing a girl because a no is seen as "playing hard to get," then yes, its understandable for people to not understand that what they are doing is wrong. You are judging a person's integrity off of a few mistakes they made that is engrained in high school/college culture right now. His apology seems sincere, and for you to just jump to calling him a liar is ridiculous. He got out in front of it, was honest and admitted to his wrongdoings, and is going to be taking the proper steps to make sure those mistakes do not happen again. He is even willing to reach out to people that feel they were affected by his actions and offered to apologize personally to them. What more do you want from him? Go back in time and reverse his mistakes? That's not how real life works.
No doubt you will now be qble to go down endless rabbit holes with this person claiming that and rounds of 'he said she said' Fact is that some people WILL take this opportunity to get some limelight from him or engage in trying to smear him because of whatever personsl grudge they have against him. And NO ..before anyone starts going off. .this is NOT saying most women lie about sexual abuse. Its saying that when it involves a public figure and the ability to conduct trial by social media, the grifters WILL come out along with any genuine complaints. Just like most people are not theives but if you leave your front door open in the middle of the night and theives who are around are more likely to Rob you. But it seems some people are going to do a trial by social media anyway and it seems questionable if he's going to survive it. Just know.. all those drama channels who are conducting 5his for their own views and clout..that's exactly what they are doing
This is as good as it's going to get. This is the absolute limit of Wokeness; there's no utopia past admitting you've been an asshole. And yeah, for all you 20-year-olds......alcohol is not good. More problems than its worth. Stop boozing at the club and get your shit together.
I haven't watched this video yet, but I want to say that as a woman, this has happened to me countless times. and until recently, I didn't even realize this was wrong. I kind of thought being pestered into sex was just an unfortunate reality that women go through. it feels good to hear someone take accountability. I just hope it's coming from the right place and is genuine. I posted this comment hours before, but I got attacked in the replies, so I deleted and am posting again :) edit to add: I have watched the video
He's really unattractive. He has to beg for it or pay for it (probably both at the same time) or he'll never get laid -- which would be a good thing for the gene pool, but he's never going to see it that way.
This is probably the best response to the video. There's a surprising amount of men too who have too, which I'm not saying to discount what your life experience has been. Just that i wasn't aware of it being a man's issue too, albeit less prevalent. For the most part women are being far more reasonable than men on this vid, probs because almost every dude has done some creepy stuff without realizing it and they have no interest in acknowledging their own terrible behavior. I used to think like that too until I stopped drinking, and awhile afterwards while the brain cleared out. That that's just how women are, and the squeaky wheel gets the grease. It's never been successful for me personally. For andrew tho It has been, and with all the eventual yeses and no one really discussing the no-no-yes issue at all ofc he kept doing it. People operate on reinforcement like that. The people shouting rapist, SA, prison, etc aren't helping. They're more guaranteeing this occurs in the future by putting up a wall from legit discussion
the video and your comment also made me reflect on a lot of things regarding that. My best friend always told me to not do that, to just be myself in any situation and don't force any situation or play a certain role that i don't really am, and i thought for a long time why i should do that when others always said that it worked for them. But getting older and reflecting on how this must feel for the other person, makes it clear that this definetly is something unhealthy. Excuse my bad english, but i wanted to give me 5 cents on this aswell. ^^
This is a prime example of a narcissist trying to say everything perfect to keep up the facade. He isn't sincere. He only has cognitive empathy, no emotional. He has no remorse. He will say all the right things to get control back.
Yeah, because these types of allegations don't come out whenever a creator gets big or anything. I've had enough of this #believeallwomen BS where someone gets in front of a camera, sheds a few tears, and then the man accused gets attacked and shamed, even if there's literally no evidence to back it up. Sounds to me like you're the one who needs to grow up, and stop playing armchair psychologist stop pretending like you know the first thing about anyone else but yourself.
I feel as though this “apology” is disingenuous and very calculated. He’s a smart man who knows his way around media. Using nuanced vocabulary and tip toeing around the situation, without really getting into the core of the issue. It’s fine wanting to take accountability for yourself and do a 12 step program, but the proof is in the pudding. Will he actually commit to the program? Or is he just saying these things to try and keep his career and fans on his side. Also, the fact that he created a new and separate channel to upload this video, and it’s the only video on this new channel, seems highly strategic to me. He wants to keep this issue as far away from “Channel 5” as possible. This already hurt his image, he doesn’t want more fallout. Also, I get the feeling that when these allegations dropped, behind closed doors he probably raged about the women. He was probably extremely pissed that they chose to come out with these allegations right when his HBO special was airing. So does he really have remorse for his actions, or is he only apologizing to keep his image? I don’t know, I don’t find this that genuine. And so many of his fans are already taking this apology video at face value and forgiving him already. Meanwhile, the alleged victims now have to deal with his fans coming for them with negativity.
we appreciate the mature response. I will still be looking forward for your journalism as I believe that you have gone with great bounds to break the status quo of mainstream media.
@@spyczech Yh sexual assault allegations with no proof or evidence. U guys are so pathetic with ur believe all women bullshit. The fact of the matter is some women out there are talking out of their assholes, saying that a friend of a friend told them type shit. It’s ridiculous how quick to believe anything u soys are. But nonetheless there’s nothing more to say on Andrews behalf. This wasn’t a bad apology in any way, I think this is as good as it gets. He admits his actions about stepping out of line and engaging in sex pest behaviour and took accountability, what more do u people want. Y’all need to learn to give second chances to folks. But I do have to mention tho, that first girl who came out on TikTok about Andrew coercing her or some shit is so pathetic. Like Really??? Ur traumatized????? Traumatized my fucking ass, bitch u consented😂. If u didn’t want it, u should’ve said no, and if Andrew keeps persisting KEEP SAYING NO it’s not hard. I WaS PrEsSuReD🥺 So I consented head ass😂. AnDrEw CoErcEd Me, so I CoNsEnTeD head Ass🤣. We DoNt nEeD EvidEnCe BeLiVe All WoMeN head ass🤣😂. Like bitch take responsibility for ur actions. Btw I’m not saying Andrew was in the right but the girl was certainly also not in the right. U fucked up and couldn’t stand up for urself, u end up doing things u don’t wanna do. No one’s fault but yours. I don’t feel sorry for her in the slightest.
Is it bugging anyone else that Andrew has changed the semantics around how his behavior is referred? After seeing media headlines and reaction videos all now using Andrew’s language in the video, it was clear this was intentional. Had you recalled prior to this apology a single comment, article or reaction that referred to him as a “Sex pest” prior? This is one of the many reasons this apology is very manipulative in my view. The apology is not for the victims, it’s for all of you in the comment section and those making reaction videos. Adding a euphemism for sexual harassment in to the discussion to be disseminated by the press is calculated. It diminishes his behavior by adding softer language to describe it. Most of this apology is a pity plea subtly using language to manipulate the listener into over identifying with him, and less with the victims. Additionally, there is no way this statement wasn’t reviewed and approved by legal counsel. Those who are wowed by his sincerity, please remember that it’s his job to make people think they can trust him. There wouldnt have been a web series if he didn’t poses that skill set. The people within the subcultures he infiltrates believed his sincerity also. It requires deception with a straight face. Apart of being media literate is being able to see when the perception and reality of a situation is being augmented to fit a certain narrative.
He's an ardent Social Justice Warrior. He's one of those "Believe all Women". I noticed these Leftist Types prey on Women. They use Passive Aggression methods to get Women in bed.
The positive to come from this is the amount of men who have realized that they're guilty of this awful behavior, and the amount of women who have come to realize that THEY weren't in the wrong for the situations they were put in by these men. It validated my own experiences and how I felt about them, since I STILL had some doubt and would find ways to justify the bad behavior of the men who did me wrong.
Women have been saying this for years upon years upon years. All these guys are doing is admitting that they have not just disregarded the women telling them no, but completely ignored all the previous discourse on the subject. Even that which included detailed descriptions of this kind of behavior. A lot of them lived through the "No Means No!" "End Rape Culture" and "Me Too" movements. And they still want to try to claim that they didn't understand what they were doing.
Why is this so shocking to people? MOST MEN behave like this if given the chance, it’s wrong but let’s not pretend it’s something shocking. Societal issue.
I learned something too. Persistent is how I got my wives. I drove around the library like 600 times. I guess I gotta let them go. All of them. Shit man.
Man, at least one victim reached you and you dismissed her. You say you've always taken a No as a No, but that's the opposite of what the girls are saying. So what is it? Good choice: Stay the hell away from booze, it seems you change under the influence, I know people that way. I hope someday you regain my confidence, but it will be difficult.
@@kravn6677 What makes you think they did not help to enable him? I'm not saying they did but most acts like this are often well known between close co-workers and tolerated.
@@Pipe-Layer Because there is zero information or evidence to prove that they knew what he was up to when he was not around them and engaging in deplorable behavior. Not everyone this guy has crossed paths with is guilty of sexual assault by proxy. Comparable Hypothetical: Would you be ok with potentially being fired or publicly smeared for something the CEO of your company did? I at least wouldn't think so. My point being; anyone that has been following this story will end up seeing this apology or already have. It wouldn't be fair to completely deplatform people who were not involved and didn't have knowledge of the heinous acts of Andrew... at least that we know of. Believe me, I'm taking all of this as it comes too, but roping innocent people's reputations into the mix wouldn't help anything.
Hey man I hope you have learned what consent really means. You should address it on your main channel... Or address it at all! There are people out there willing to move on but it seems like you are hoping that people will forget. We won't
In terms of your alcohol use, I would suggest searching out programs that focus on harm reduction over what AA does. Taking the step towards sobriety it's very admirable though. The harm reduction model will probably resonate with you more.
Its toxic masculinity! Its a shame that so many young boys grow up to become completely oblivious to the impact that their actions have on women. More needs to be done to teach about consent and relationships to young men.
dude how can you say in this video you want those who have come out with allegations to reach out to you when the first woman said in her tiktoks she'd tried to reach out to you previously but you ignored her
From what we saw, she only reached out to ask for money, no further chat logs were made public so we don't know to/in what extent she reached out to him.

So many comments urging that men should learn about consent to “be careful” and “avoid allegations.” Like no. You should understand consent so that you’re not hurting, harming, and traumatizing others. This is about respect, empathy, and equality. We shouldn’t be telling people to not do horrible things to avoid repercussions; they should avoid it because they care about others and want to be a kind human being. Sex should be enjoyable for women, not something to be taken.
Andrew fingered my bussy until I was sore. I’m still waiting for an apology
absolutely but, people SUCK so they have to have a punitive reason to not act shitty 😕
Definitely agree and can see where you come from. It spoke to me in a different way, it’s not that men need to be careful themselves, we need to be careful of others. At least that’s how I understood it.
I agree 100%, there are some abusers in the comments straight up feeling sorry for themselves
Good points. I would've just said "Sex should be enjoyable for women and men, not something to be taken" since we're talking about equality here, and everyone has the capacity to disregard consent.
Mission of radical empathy (but not for women though)
Bars are almost always the worst place to meet women or understand different dynamics of what is an advance and what could be someone just getting comfortable with you. Substances abstinence can help but to a point this seems more like someone who was lost in how to approach women respectfully. Hope your content continues Andrew and you seek some reconciliation with those your actions affected.

idk man. it seems like a ton of people in these comments are rallying behind this person because he is an "alcoholic" and is bravely admitting his wrongs and getting sober. ive been sober for 3 years, i was having alcoholic seizures at 24. yeah its hard to admit your wrongs, and harder to not drink. but there are a LOT of videos and people saying that no, he has not "always taken no for an answer" - 1:29
its wicked that you're getting sober. huge steps. admitting wrongdoing can be incredibly stressful. it doesn't erase the past though. there are people that won't talk to me and i totally understand why (and i've never done something as unforgivable as raping an underage girl.) this all just seems rly fucking weird and gross. this apology video was written in a way to paint him as the good guy STILL. after all of this. how do you think the people that did say "no" feel about listening to him say "he's not that guy". there are fucking dozens of people saying this.

If you can grow hair, you can grow anything
You’re making it out as though nobody has ever told you what you’re doing is inappropriate. Many of the stories (with screenshot evidence) show that women have been trying for years to tell you how creepy you’re being, and only now that the fans and your hero’s have gathered around with pitchforks are you admitting you have a problem. There is something dishonest about pretending this is a new discovery, it seems more like you didn’t want to stop until you were forced to, and this shows a lack of respect for your victims and women in general.

@@On_The_Piss no goal, just don't like to see lies mixed into an apology of this magnitude. It's a big deal to pretend that you had no idea you were doing wrong when the people you have been abusing told you all along about the harm you are doing.

@@On_The_Piss I believe in consequences and rehabilitation, seems like people are putting the cart in front of the horse, trying to get him forgiven real quick and brush this under the rug. I wonder how many people have read the accounts of what he has done, noticed the creepy patterns, I wonder how many people here have known a real sexual predator. Anyway, this apology was carefully crafted to help people move on and see Andrew in a positive light, and I think not being honest about how long he has known this is not ok is a big part of this. I think if people lie and forgive and rush to get back on track, they are likely to get back to their old ways, and be more careful about it in the future.
@@chachee21 Taking the punitive approach is easy, it’s satisfying - but I don’t think it solves anything, and frankly I don’t think ruining Andrew’s life will improve the lives of his victims.

Nothing will change unless these societal issues are faced head on - with understanding and rehabilitation - rather than punishment and retribution.

These comments go to prove just how broken and brainwashed our society has become.
@Burner’s burner account nope. And it seems to me like you care Andrew. You certainly have the brain capacity of one of his fans.
I am a woman. And I have done the same. I have begged and cohorced sex in the past under the influence as well. I wish I knew more of the stories from the victims here. All I have seen so far if this. I think you are 25 and if you get this all figured out you will be better for it. I wish I had quit drinking back then. And now I am finally at an old age quitting due to heart issues. I feel for you and those who were hurt. I hope everyone can heal from this. I will always appreciate your eye on the world. And I hope we don't lose your voice. I hope everyone can heal. I miss your news but I appreciate you taking a step back and getting help.
As someone who has experienced that from a woman who did exactly what you described I'll tell you something. You don't heal. No one heals in fact. It's called baggage.
ignore astronomy, he is trying to make you feel guilty for some reason. it sounds like you have aged a lot and obviously do not do that anymore/learned from your mistake. Let me just quickly say that while astroboy is sort of right, he is also wrong. You do heal, but at the same time you do keep a scar ('baggage' as he said). I think Andrew knows this and has learned like you have.
I also experienced this from a woman. In fact, I experienced it not too long before all the Andrew allegations were going down so I felt like at the time I had a very unique perspective when it came to the whole thing. It is quite different from a man doing it and a woman doing it. It is still so very complicated and difficult to talk about because on one hand, it is a bad horrible thing to do to a person. like was mentioned, it leaves you with baggage and it lays heavy on your mind. It makes you question your own behaviour like how could i have delt with her better or whatnot. And i can only imagine it is even harder for women when they deal with it if it is a man who coerces them. However on the other hand, (in my case, your case and it seems like in andrews case) the perpetrator was heavily intoxicated. So even as the 'victim' i remember feeling (and still feel) "sorry" in a way (lack of a better term) for the perpetrator. I dont really know what im trying to say other than, Ive seen that bad part in a person who i was friends with. If that person got cancelled because of what they did to me I would not feel good about it nor would i feel like they deserved to be banished and cancelled. Maybe it is truly that different for women-men and men-women but i cant see andrew as this evil person who does not deserve a voice and second chance.
@@astroboy3002 People can absolutely heal. It takes work and often professional help. "Baggage" is a damaging and antiquated term for untreated trauma.
Why did you crumble like that dude don’t let women push you around and make you feel like you did something wrong. If they went home with you it was their choice. If they slept with you it was their choice unless you’re drugging women and dragging them home by their hair you did absolutely nothing wrong and you need to stop apologizing like a total cuck
@@astroboy3002 As somebody who's also been the victim of SA from a woman, I completely disagree with everything you've said. Healing can happen, and I'm happy that the person you replied to has done the personal work to confront what they did and recognise how it may have hurt people.

As a woman that this has happen to I can’t forgive a man that forces himself on a woman. This person should be in jail the fact he’s sitting in a mansion… telling us about how he thought it was ok to assault someone is sick

Maybe if you spent less time sexually assaulting and harming women and more time reading a book you wouldn’t look so stupid
The only way you are going to get a woman is if you blow yourself up or do what Andrew does
From what I understand, he didn’t physically impose himself unto anyone. Rather, he simply coerced women into sleeping with him after they had already denied his advances. So while I sympathize with the women involved and would hope to see this incident bring forth a nuanced discussion towards a better understanding of go-go’s and no-no’s , I wouldn’t go so far to claim he’s a rapist nor deserving of jail-time
Usually when this stuff happens. It’s usually true. Don’t rape
All the sudden Andrew has a “drinking problem”. Lmao you have to blame something right?
Alcohol changes people man. People do things drunk they would never think of doing when sober. Of course this doesn't mean they're not still responsible for their actions and the harm they've caused but its not a coincidence that most murderers are under the influence at the time.
As a rando who’s been a patreon member and a loyal viewer since the first 2 AGNB vids, I really wish you would upload this to the channel 5 TH-cam. I understand the devastating effect alcohol and substances can have. But if you sincerely mean this statement, I think you should publish it on your main platform. I do not think of you as some predator who needs to be cancelled, but this statement was pretty lacking in terms of specific actions by you that are being reported, whether true or false. I have hope for you, I think you’re brilliant, but there are details in these accusations that should be clarified to your viewers, should you wish for them to continue watching and supporting you. I have a great appreciation for your work, please don’t let your strongest supporters down by evading these accusations or refusing to offer another perspective.

@@timbir I can’t sneed
All gas no brakes into Channel 5 was some of the best content lately and it was surprising to see it just abruptly stop with no follow up. Just watching this and realising that C5 is probably gone now, yet at the same time i have a lot of respect for Andrew - it takes a lot of courage and responsibility to actually follow through on serious decisions, put everything on stop and work on the matter at hand. Don't see a lot of that lately, usually everyone is back the next day after filming an "apology video", but it seems like there's quite a lot of integrity in this person to walk the walk, not just babble and virtue signal.
Still feeling sad, a lot of other media personalities commit these things every Friday and just go on like nothing happened, producing rage inducing content that divides the world for profit, while we lost a very valuable, honest insight into the real America as it is, with its quirks, talents, b*ttholes and all. Asking unbiased questions and letting people speak their minds is a skill that's not in great demand.
Looking forward to Andrew coming to peace with his past, accepting it and moving on as a better person.

@@morgancody6752 a woman who has allegations of sexual assault on a man. I think they were young adults if I'm not mistaken. My point is the double standard. There's videos about it on YT.
@@morgancody6752 how am I defending a sexual assaulter by drawing a comparison between them? They are both guilty. Reading comprehension much?
Because so so many men are guilty of this behaviour so they are in here defending him and patting him on the back, that is why, that's the sickening truth.
@@morgancody6752 no. By saying that she's been written off in comparison to Andrew who has not for the exact same allegations is not a defense of said person. It is an indication of inconsistent social moralism; to which, I deduced is because of sexism: she being a woman, easier to be erased than that of a man. Hence, double standard. You are injecting your own concept into my comparison. You are at the wrong vantage point. You think I'm saying she should be receiving as positive comments as he is because she's "innocent". What I am actually saying is: he should be receiving as negative comments as she did, because he's "guilty". (Quotes to maintain the allegations)
But hey, feel free to think what you will. I explained my stance clearly in this reply.
@@morgancody6752 Fake apology is something that we can agree on. I do think there is a double standard here, the typical men vs women in the eyes of sexual activity, but its more of a general conceptualization than an isolation of only these two individuals pinned together. Extrapolating.
4 years sober from heroin here, I want to say your story echos a lot of addict's stories pre-sobriety. I hope you're finding tolerance in the recovery community. As a woman who is also a fan this for sure was disappointing, but I wildly appreciate you understanding the role alcohol played. It can really make some of us just...shitty, shitty bad and selfish. This is the most accountability I've ever seen anyone take, for better or for worse. I'm with you though, and with the girls (I don't think a side has to be picked). Lots of love, please take care of yourself so you can be here to see and write your own redemption arc.
I love the way you write and speak its so chill and seems identical to my style of writing/reading, are you a writer? Or into literature?
Unfortunately despite seemingly taking accountability, it appears very likely that he’s committed sex crimes that go way beyond anything he may have seemed to take responsibility for here. Until he acknowledges the full situation and stops lying about it (“I’ve always taken no for an answer” being the most blatant lie) I’d say I’m on the side of the victims
As I recovering heroin addict myself I just want to say I fully agree.. As bad as it sounds there is huge part of me that empathizes and relates with him. Because I know what it’s like to be that “shitty” person. And then having that “wtf” moment. That “what have I done..” feeling. Beautiful comment btw. Wishing you the best in your recovery

@@EggmondChad "I love the way you write.. its so identitical to my style" lmao great compliment
Why isnt this on your main?
God damnit I really liked this guy's stuff, too. Why can't people just not be sex pests.
Dude, chill. You can still enjoy this guy’s content WHILE condemning his past behavior. It would come as a shock to many people, but you can do BOTH.
Social conditioning, that's why
Because there wouldn’t be much sex without someone initiating. Not raping. Not forcing. Not gangbanging drunk girls at frat parties. Not spiking drinks. Just being persistent. That’s how it goes down. U can also go the 40 yr old virgin route, no worries. Also, physically respecting ppls choices is important, but honestly I don’t think asking more than once should be a cancellation offense as long as you are not in authority over the other person and they always have an option to leave your presence. Grown up stuff.
@@TDashem This completely ignores the power dynamics between males and females, and the fact that he didn't just keep pestering them until they said yes, he was also groping, kissing, and sticking his hand down their pants. Very disgusting to try and infantalize sexual assault victims like you are as well.
You also don't need to be a greasy, pushy, creep to have sex with a woman if you're genuinely likeable, nice, attractive, etc so nobody has to behave anywhere near how Andrew has, and if you can't hook up with anyone at a bar that's just a you problem.
@@Remixersoloman I agree about physical assault being wrong regardless of sex(as I clearly stated). I don’t agree about power dynamics. Not in this day and age where women and men both have the right and ability to say no and exit the situation if uncomfortable. To say someone wore you down into having sex is lack of accountability if you are an adult.
This response banks on you not knowing the allegations beyond that one sleepover tiktok. Andrew is not being accused of drunken impulsive behaviour or being a pushy weirdo. Having looked into the allegations, this inspiring reflection on toxic masculinity is a smokescreen and an insult.
What were the allegations specifically?

My daughter was assaulted by someone like you. He and his family took a more rape supportive approach -- gaslighting her, calling her "bipolar," "crazy," and a liar. So I appreciate the steps -- no matter how small -- you are taking toward personal responsibility for your behaviors and healing from misogyny. You take these steps not just for your own betterment but as an example to all men. I hope they are watching.
watch the Lex Fridman interview.. they talk about just one 'person'. this whole thing is how he is the the one suffering just like your daughter... read what the girls said, some of them are 17... here he is saying he did it multiple times but he didnt know it is a pattern... in the Lex Fridman interview its just this girl whos trying to extort him of money and its happened a long time ago when he was not famous,
"I thought persistence was a form of flattery"... Yooo, I never considered that this would be the mindset of guys whenever they do this. This helps me see how they don't see themselves as a creep. Idk, I appreciated hearing that perspective..
I think that's the core of Andrew's issue, is that he didn't see it as an issue, girls kept reinforcing it by eventually saying yes, and young-man-brain rationalized persistence since it's a cultural norm. Tbh dude probably has some mommy-issues and definitely has a drinking problem (and therefore a thinking problem). Good or you to understand the issue and not just call someone names or demand he be locked up👌
this is seriously dissapointing
Why? You know if it really happened? I don’t, just came across this cause I saw an old vid, then wondered where he went. Can’t seem to find much else. What did he do ?
All you can do is make improvements and never repeat it again. There's a path back for sure.
he def gotta have his toxic personality radar up and ready for next time he looking to bag one in the 🛌
Yeah all you have to do is not touch women when they dont want to be touched. I don't think you can really "undo" or "come back" from that. He needs to be identified as a sex offender and women around him in the future should not be around him without other people.
He knew what he was doing. People he assaulted told him the affects of his behavior and that it made them very uncomfortable, people have come out about his behavior before which he would surely see, and if you look into most of the cases and stories, they literally would say no at least 5 times and he would just keep pushing or even start grabbing them after they say no. He is still in denial and he knew what he was doing until he was forced to apologize for it. Now I hope this apology is sincere and he will actually work on himself, but claiming he didn't know what he was doing was wrong is just a lie. Do some research on his behaviors before trusting this video because I almost trusted this until I looked into it more. A lot of his assualt cases were on underage women as well. I don't know what caused him these severe behavioral and mental issues but I do hope he actually acknowledges the full extent of what he did, makes this as right as he can with the victims, and actually makes changes to himself with deep psychological work.
When younger people create a culture around not giving up on pursuing a girl because a no is seen as "playing hard to get," then yes, its understandable for people to not understand that what they are doing is wrong. You are judging a person's integrity off of a few mistakes they made that is engrained in high school/college culture right now. His apology seems sincere, and for you to just jump to calling him a liar is ridiculous. He got out in front of it, was honest and admitted to his wrongdoings, and is going to be taking the proper steps to make sure those mistakes do not happen again. He is even willing to reach out to people that feel they were affected by his actions and offered to apologize personally to them. What more do you want from him? Go back in time and reverse his mistakes? That's not how real life works.
No doubt you will now be qble to go down endless rabbit holes with this person claiming that and rounds of 'he said she said'
Fact is that some people WILL take this opportunity to get some limelight from him or engage in trying to smear him because of whatever personsl grudge they have against him.
And NO ..before anyone starts going off. .this is NOT saying most women lie about sexual abuse. Its saying that when it involves a public figure and the ability to conduct trial by social media, the grifters WILL come out along with any genuine complaints.
Just like most people are not theives but if you leave your front door open in the middle of the night and theives who are around are more likely to Rob you.
But it seems some people are going to do a trial by social media anyway and it seems questionable if he's going to survive it.
Just know.. all those drama channels who are conducting 5his for their own views and clout..that's exactly what they are doing
This is as good as it's going to get. This is the absolute limit of Wokeness; there's no utopia past admitting you've been an asshole.
And yeah, for all you 20-year-olds......alcohol is not good. More problems than its worth. Stop boozing at the club and get your shit together.
Word.
true
I haven't watched this video yet, but I want to say that as a woman, this has happened to me countless times. and until recently, I didn't even realize this was wrong. I kind of thought being pestered into sex was just an unfortunate reality that women go through. it feels good to hear someone take accountability. I just hope it's coming from the right place and is genuine.
I posted this comment hours before, but I got attacked in the replies, so I deleted and am posting again :)
edit to add: I have watched the video
He's really unattractive. He has to beg for it or pay for it (probably both at the same time) or he'll never get laid -- which would be a good thing for the gene pool, but he's never going to see it that way.
This is probably the best response to the video.
There's a surprising amount of men too who have too, which I'm not saying to discount what your life experience has been. Just that i wasn't aware of it being a man's issue too, albeit less prevalent. For the most part women are being far more reasonable than men on this vid, probs because almost every dude has done some creepy stuff without realizing it and they have no interest in acknowledging their own terrible behavior. I used to think like that too until I stopped drinking, and awhile afterwards while the brain cleared out. That that's just how women are, and the squeaky wheel gets the grease. It's never been successful for me personally. For andrew tho It has been, and with all the eventual yeses and no one really discussing the no-no-yes issue at all ofc he kept doing it. People operate on reinforcement like that.
The people shouting rapist, SA, prison, etc aren't helping. They're more guaranteeing this occurs in the future by putting up a wall from legit discussion
@@braidena1633 I think we're all realizing some of the stuff we all did as young adults wasn't the most kosher. as long as we learn from our mistakes.
I get why you’d get attacked lol you say you haven’t seen the video but yet you’re happy to hear someone take accountability
the video and your comment also made me reflect on a lot of things regarding that. My best friend always told me to not do that, to just be myself in any situation and don't force any situation or play a certain role that i don't really am, and i thought for a long time why i should do that when others always said that it worked for them. But getting older and reflecting on how this must feel for the other person, makes it clear that this definetly is something unhealthy.
Excuse my bad english, but i wanted to give me 5 cents on this aswell. ^^
This is a prime example of a narcissist trying to say everything perfect to keep up the facade. He isn't sincere. He only has cognitive empathy, no emotional. He has no remorse. He will say all the right things to get control back.
shut up
Yeah, because these types of allegations don't come out whenever a creator gets big or anything.
I've had enough of this #believeallwomen BS where someone gets in front of a camera, sheds a few tears, and then the man accused gets attacked and shamed, even if there's literally no evidence to back it up. Sounds to me like you're the one who needs to grow up, and stop playing armchair psychologist stop pretending like you know the first thing about anyone else but yourself.
@@secondpath5148 there was proof tho
@@vivivivivi where?
I feel as though this “apology” is disingenuous and very calculated. He’s a smart man who knows his way around media. Using nuanced vocabulary and tip toeing around the situation, without really getting into the core of the issue. It’s fine wanting to take accountability for yourself and do a 12 step program, but the proof is in the pudding. Will he actually commit to the program? Or is he just saying these things to try and keep his career and fans on his side.
Also, the fact that he created a new and separate channel to upload this video, and it’s the only video on this new channel, seems highly strategic to me. He wants to keep this issue as far away from “Channel 5” as possible. This already hurt his image, he doesn’t want more fallout.
Also, I get the feeling that when these allegations dropped, behind closed doors he probably raged about the women. He was probably extremely pissed that they chose to come out with these allegations right when his HBO special was airing. So does he really have remorse for his actions, or is he only apologizing to keep his image?
I don’t know, I don’t find this that genuine. And so many of his fans are already taking this apology video at face value and forgiving him already. Meanwhile, the alleged victims now have to deal with his fans coming for them with negativity.
Did you actually watch the video??
I have made a severe and continuous lapse of my judgment…

Is it bugging anyone else that Andrew has changed the semantics around how his behavior is referred?
After seeing media headlines and reaction videos all now using Andrew’s language in the video, it was clear this was intentional. Had you recalled prior to this apology a single comment, article or reaction that referred to him as a “Sex pest” prior?
This is one of the many reasons this apology is very manipulative in my view. The apology is not for the victims, it’s for all of you in the comment section and those making reaction videos.
Adding a euphemism for sexual harassment in to the discussion to be disseminated by the press is calculated. It diminishes his behavior by adding softer language to describe it. Most of this apology is a pity plea subtly using language to manipulate the listener into over identifying with him, and less with the victims.
Additionally, there is no way this statement wasn’t reviewed and approved by legal counsel.
Those who are wowed by his sincerity, please remember that it’s his job to make people think they can trust him. There wouldnt have been a web series if he didn’t poses that skill set. The people within the subcultures he infiltrates believed his sincerity also. It requires deception with a straight face.
Apart of being media literate is being able to see when the perception and reality of a situation is being augmented to fit a certain narrative.

Gavin who?
The positive to come from this is the amount of men who have realized that they're guilty of this awful behavior, and the amount of women who have come to realize that THEY weren't in the wrong for the situations they were put in by these men. It validated my own experiences and how I felt about them, since I STILL had some doubt and would find ways to justify the bad behavior of the men who did me wrong.
This is SO perfectly put! As a woman that’s been in countless similar situations, the words you chose in this comment are just completely spot on
Women have been saying this for years upon years upon years. All these guys are doing is admitting that they have not just disregarded the women telling them no, but completely ignored all the previous discourse on the subject. Even that which included detailed descriptions of this kind of behavior. A lot of them lived through the "No Means No!" "End Rape Culture" and "Me Too" movements. And they still want to try to claim that they didn't understand what they were doing.

Brandon Buckingham won. Why did you avoid him for weeks if there were key details that would change the situation?
What you were doing was and is important. The world needs people like you.
I dunno I want someone doing this kind of stuff.... THAT ISNT SEXUALLY ASSAULTING WOMEN. let's get our priorities back in check yeah?
Man, at least one victim reached you and you dismissed her. You say you've always taken a No as a No, but that's the opposite of what the girls are saying. So what is it? Good choice: Stay the hell away from booze, it seems you change under the influence, I know people that way. I hope someday you regain my confidence, but it will be difficult.
Bruh post a video on channel 5
Oh wait, you thought he was actually getting canceled?
Are you going to post this in any of the main channels?
And directly affect the innocent people that built their success off Channel 5/AGNB? Not likely. Would be selfish and unprofessional.
@@kravn6677 What makes you think they did not help to enable him? I'm not saying they did but most acts like this are often well known between close co-workers and tolerated.
@@Pipe-Layer Because there is zero information or evidence to prove that they knew what he was up to when he was not around them and engaging in deplorable behavior. Not everyone this guy has crossed paths with is guilty of sexual assault by proxy. Comparable Hypothetical: Would you be ok with potentially being fired or publicly smeared for something the CEO of your company did? I at least wouldn't think so. My point being; anyone that has been following this story will end up seeing this apology or already have. It wouldn't be fair to completely deplatform people who were not involved and didn't have knowledge of the heinous acts of Andrew... at least that we know of. Believe me, I'm taking all of this as it comes too, but roping innocent people's reputations into the mix wouldn't help anything.
It’s ridiculous! Sued because someone else was ‘creeped out’ .. people are so judgemental and cruel!
Hey man I hope you have learned what consent really means. You should address it on your main channel... Or address it at all! There are people out there willing to move on but it seems like you are hoping that people will forget. We won't
In terms of your alcohol use, I would suggest searching out programs that focus on harm reduction over what AA does. Taking the step towards sobriety it's very admirable though. The harm reduction model will probably resonate with you more.
AA has problems for real
Agree
@@spyczech 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Its toxic masculinity! Its a shame that so many young boys grow up to become completely oblivious to the impact that their actions have on women. More needs to be done to teach about consent and relationships to young men.
Bro became a journalist and found dark secrets and did not think that shit would happen to him lmao
LOL are you 12 years old?
@@pineyair6796 nope
dude how can you say in this video you want those who have come out with allegations to reach out to you when the first woman said in her tiktoks she'd tried to reach out to you previously but you ignored her
From what we saw, she only reached out to ask for money, no further chat logs were made public so we don't know to/in what extent she reached out to him.
This is only the beggining. My friend got raped by Andrew a year ago, the shit is going to hit the fan very soon
yup. he is NOT sincerely sorry.
