    It’s a shame. They’ve done a lot of great work together, but you’ve got to know when to walk away from someone like that.

      It always sounds like Dan tried to be his friend the best way he could at the time, but Justin didn’t want to change, grow up or get better. They fed off each other probably. And meanwhile, Justin was abusing women and continuing to make everyone as miserable as he was.

      It’s the difference between being an addict and recovering, and not. You just can’t condone any of that. Dan can’t be held responsible for another person’s actions, I’m sure he’s reckoned with his own ways via therapy and finding healthy relationship, and I get that trauma of having cared about and worked alongside a toxic person who was actually an Anchor, but got you career success.

      But that’s the consequence. Justin crossed too many lines, had a pattern of behavior, and his victims brought a legitimate case. There’s no remorse from me.
