Cee Lo returns to Twitter
By Andy Malt | Published on Thursday 4 September 2014
Cee Lo Green has returned to Twitter, having deleted his account on the social network following outcry about comments he made about rape earlier this week.
As previously reported, Green last week pleaded no contest to charges of giving the drug ecstasy to a woman without her knowledge. He had previously also been accused of sexually assaulting her, though those specific charges were dropped due to insufficient evidence.
Subsequently, he posted a number of tweets discussing the case. One suggested that women should try to remember if they’re raped, and another many took to mean that he believed that it wasn’t rape if the woman was unconscious.
Resurrecting his Twitter account yesterday, the singer wrote: “I truly and deeply apologise for the comments attributed to me on Twitter. Those comments were idiotic, untrue and not what I believe”.
The phrase “comments attributed to me” is a strange choice, though he does seem to accept that it was he who made the comments.
