Nate needs to apologize to keep his paper $tr8. This Hollywood. It's about perception - how things look. What the audience believes. How the audience feels. Fuck his feelings and his beliefs. He needs to sell an apology to the world in order to clear the way for thi$ movie to score a profit. If the movie doesn't bring in a profit for the studio he won't get another shot for a while, maybe. So without regard for what actually happened Nate needs to make the ppl believe he is sorry for what he did bc the ppl believe he is a rapist. We don't care that he was acquitted bc we know that the courts don't always bring justice. We know a rapist can be acquitted though he's actually guilty. Like the white men who raped the black women in Nate's movie - they would've been acquitted if they could have been tried. But they're still rapists (yes, BG I know the facts are different and that doesn't matter for my point - try to keep up, bro). So Nate needs to put on the performance of his life and sell an apology to save the movie. Or maybe it'll be okay even though he's given these toxic interviews. He at least needs to stfu if he won't apologize.
