Remember when celebs used to just apologize and everyone moved on?
Had this moment last week scrolling through an old thread about some actor who got caught saying something dumb in 2012. They posted a 2 paragraph apology, people argued for 3 days, then everyone forgot about it. Now you get a 20 minute video with tears and branding consultants and the internet still drags them for 6 months straight. When did we switch from 'they messed up, they said sorry' to this permanent public shaming thing? Is there any middle ground left or are we all just waiting for the next person to trip up?

Right, because an essay length apology video definitely fixes everything.

Wonder how much the editor had to cut out to make it watchable.
