It's a good apology by the extremely low standards that have been set, but he never actually says "sorry" or "I apologize," nor does he explicitly admit what he did was wrong. Defending his likely-scummy manager for "mediating" (read: intimidating victims into silence) is a bad move, too. Definitely better than Spacey's "I don't remember" or Weinstein's "I'm from a different era" or Cosby's outright denial, but still not quite good enough.
CK was one of my favorite standups for a long time, but when the rumors started to heat up a few years ago, I felt a lot less inclined to watch his stuff. I never bothered with Horace and Pete and didn't watch the last couple specials. I'll be fine never watching his stuff again, but it always sucks to find out somebody you genuinely liked and admired is a piece of shit.
