He lauded all women who came out against the accused and mentioned, "It was a matter of time before a harassment victim spoke up and called out a power-drunk exploitative pervert that lurked behind the garb of a filmdom Demi-God. It was a given that when one spoke up the others would feel emboldened and follow in raising their voices."
