"Andrew is fully committed to working with the appropriate professionals to better understand himself and ways he can grow and improve as a human being, especially with his growing platform and the vulnerabilities it brings."

boy did this line really get under my skin. It's this pmc vapid wellness lingo. So goddamn phony. I'll bet a dollar this was ran through chatgpt. It's pure muzak.

This doesn't look good for Andrew. He also hasn't denied the allegations but is now framing the story that the victims are only in it for money. He keeps saying that there are 2 sides to every story but hasn't said his side of the story. It seems to me that he's trying to destroy the credibility of the victims. That's really sad.

Also today, Tim Heidecker announced that Tim & Eric will never work with Andrew again.

Is Tim Heidecker the only good comedian?

i tend to trust tim's judgement, been a fan for a long time and he seems like a pretty decent human. that said, never meet your heroes.

As far as I understand, of the two detailed accusations against Callaghan, one of the accusers did attempt "extortion" by saying that it was extremely upsetting and hurtful to see him become famous and praised with regards to his work, and wanted some money from his "fat HBO cheque" to offset her therapy bills, according to leaked direct messages. This is where the lawyer statement about "requests for money" comes from.

However I have zero sympathy for Callaghan, he engaged in wildly inappropriate behaviour, and I really don't give a shit that one of his victims tried to "extort" him for money. In fact, I even support her in trying to obtain some justice in this fucked up world. There are no threats or courses of action present in the message, it's just asking for monetary compensation. This also does not address the second detailed accusation in any way or form, nor does it adress the multiple other accusations that aren't as detailed.
