Australian singer‑songwriter Dean Lewis has issued an emotional public apology after multiple women accused him of inappropriate behaviour on social media.
The 38‑year‑old artist posted a lengthy statement to Instagram on October 30, apologising to those he said he had hurt but insisting that all his relationships were both consensual and legal.
“I understand why people are angry and disappointed after learning embarrassing details of intimate, private conversations and relationships I’ve had with consenting adults over the past decade, but I want to emphasise that none of this is illegal,” he wrote.
“The individuals leading the campaign against me have repeatedly acknowledged this, and I’m hurt by any suggestion that I’ve done things that have crossed into illegality.”
