From a live Facebook story T noon today:
>”So a lot has transpired in the last few months. Some good, a lot of it bad. I said some things that, in hindsight, were pretty stupid about the Writer’s Strike. It was… foolish of me. I was frustrated, uh, irritated. I was not in a good place. Heels was already in danger of being canceled, Starz had told me as much, and I knew the lack of promotion would absolutely kill it. And it did. But that was no excuse for my behavior.”
>”Even worse, and this is coming from the heart, is that my friendship with Phil Brooks aka CM Punk is over. It’s dead, it is unrepairable. He was a costar on Heels and a bit part of the show, and he and I worked very closely. I suggested a certain storyline development, uh, involving his character. He got very angry, belligerent really, and asked if I was making a joke at his expense. I wasn’t. Then he suggested I was being, uh, fed information by some former coworkers of his. Well, at the time they were his current coworkers. But he suggested perhaps I was, uh, in league with several pro wrestlers that he has some personal issues with.”
>”I have some soul searching of my own to do, for sure. I did and said some incredibly stupid things, I made an ass of myself. But I say this with all due kindness, I believe Phil needs to get help soon.”
