Are they sorry for being caught and being exposed for who they are as for all these years none of them came forward or went to victims to express their regret.

Some have settled in court with admitting and it is not sure that the accusations were true or that the famous person didn't want this to be played out longer than needed.

Settling is not admitting guilt as Michael Jackson settled and once he was sick of the more accusations, he took the so called victims to court and was found innocent.

I happen to see a TV program over two decades ago in the Netherlands. That was called "het bloemetje" which stands for " flowers" and that were flowers offered to someone to say sorry.

In that program a young woman offered flowers to her dad that she had accused of sexual abuse by her dad.

The young woman accusation was made out of being angry at her dad for not allowing her to date someone or letting her go out to a bar. I forgot the exact reason. The young woman admitted the accusations to be completely untrue and regretted accusing her dad.

The dad lost his job, family turned on him as well as friends. The wife believed him as she didn't know her husband to be like that. The father refused the flowers as he was so hurt and in pain of having his whole world collapsing in front of his eyes and nobody believing him.

That live program changed my opinion on believing every accusers story but waiting until more facts have come out.

They were okay with sexual harassment when Clinton was President and always attacked the accusers.

Just like all the teachers, preachers, scout leaders, bosses, uncles, brothers, nephews, cousins, husbands, fathers, politicians etc....who have been caught --they never apologize until they get caught and have to.

You mean like Trump during his Access Hollywood tape?

Trump who has a star on the Hollywood walk of Fame?

Trump who has been in dozens of Hollywood movies and had a TV show called Celebrity apprentice? That famous guy?

He's not sorry. He's proud of it. He brags about it. Pathetic.

Sad!

I suppose some are truly sorry, especially if they have a religious or spiritual epiphany. However, it's doubtful you would regularly see them on the MSM. Heck, some of them may have exited the entertainment industry.
