Here’s what I hear you saying: You chose the words “forcibly kissed” because they sounded violent hoping no one would ask you to fully explain the extent of your assault and just cancel JD under the assumption that the words meant what they seemed to.

Also funny that you decided to make these claims before the reissue of your book. I wonder if the publicity helped sales?

So you’re going to keep claiming biased reporting (who else do we know who enjoys that tactic?) and forestall giving an actual description of your “forcible kiss” until hopefully the public attention shifts.

But that didn’t happen, and now you are being asked to give an honest account, and you know that your interaction would not qualify as assault.

Girls you have no options now. You and Monica better start writing real good now. Sit to the pants now! The Asia Argento and Rose McGowan of the literary world have to rely on actual talent and not pity. #JunotDiaz

I believe you. The Globe article wasn’t journalism. It was a cheap attempt to reframe the narrative by portraying a violent misogynist as the victim/hero, while gaslighting those he hurt.
