Starr posted the following statement in response:

I’ve done plenty of wrong in my life, especially regarding my relationships with my partners. I am not a predator, but I have been an emotionally immature dickhead to my partners.

Here’s something I wrote about a week and a half ago since I’ve really began to introspect. pic.twitter.com/QH985chQBB

Starr also posted the following thread:

I can’t take away the lying and cheating. I can’t take away the emotional and mental pain I’ve caused my partners and myself. I can make sure it doesn’t happen again.

I’ve accepted my wrongs and whatever those consequences are, no excuses, but I am not a sexual predator.

I did a lot research on the topic of “grey rape” after discussing with multiple victims of SA.

In my letter I wrote to Victoria (never sent) on the same day I wrote the other message: pic.twitter.com/uQ3U8SFVRe

Whatever happens next happens. I am not a sexual predator, but I am not ducking the consequences of my own immaturity. I need to grow up. I am truly sorry to every person I’ve disappointed and hurt. I will be better.
