"As I sit around watching hero after hero, man after man, fall at the realization of their past indiscretions, I don’t sit by and wonder 'who will be next?' I wonder, 'when will they come for me?'," Spurlock writes, adding, "I am not some innocent bystander, I am also a part of the problem."
He details the allegations of rape in college by a young woman who wrote about it in a short story writing class and called him by name:
“That’s not what happened!” I told her. This wasn’t how I remembered it at all. In my mind, we’d been drinking all night and went back to my room. We began fooling around, she pushed me off, then we laid in the bed and talked and laughed some more, and then began fooling around again. We took off our clothes. She said she didn’t want to have sex, so we laid together, and talked, and kissed, and laughed, and then we started having sex.
“Light Bright,” she said.
“What?”
“Light bright. That kids toy, that’s all I can see and think about,” she said … and then she started to cry. I didn’t know what to do. We stopped having sex and I rolled beside her. I tried to comfort her. To make her feel better. I thought I was doing ok, I believed she was feeling better. She believed she was raped.
Spurlock also admits to calling his female assistant "hot pants" or "sex pants" in the office. "Something I thought was funny at the time, but then realized I had completely demeaned and belittled her to a place of non-existence," he writes.
"So, when she decided to quit, she came to me and said if I didn’t pay her a settlement, she would tell everyone. Being who I was, it was the last thing I wanted, so of course, I paid," Spurlock adds.
The documentary director says he was sexually abused as a boy and as a teenager, something he told only his first wife "for fear of being seen as weak or less than a man."
He also confesses to having a drinking problem since he was 13.
"I haven’t been sober for more than a week in 30 years, something our society doesn’t shun or condemn but which only served to fill the emotional hole inside me and the daily depression I coped with. Depression we can’t talk about, because it's wrong and makes you less of a person," he says.
Spurlock concludes his message by saying that he'd do better.
"I will do better. I will be better. I believe we all can," he says.
In a Twitter response, Spurlock says he's seeking help:
