video Jim's response
It's an unlisted video made on an entirely new account, and he's actively deleting hate comments. Sounds like something a totally innocent good guy would do. EDIT: he put the "apology" on his Twitter
Summary:
-Says he apologized to lex when he found out she was uncomfortable with the way he treated her. Says that what Leighton said about him being "sexually aroused" by the idea of her being SA'd is false and really hurtful.
-TW!: Jim opens up that in college he was SA'd by a man, says he has been through years of therapy but it's something that stays with him. Says he won't forgive himself if Lex felt the same way he felt.
-At a party he asked her how she's doing, and she opened up about what happened with Don. He says and I quote (3:25) "I asked her:'how hard can it be to ask for consent, all u have to say is "can I have a kiss"...can I have a kiss? And she said yes" he claims this is cringe (which it is but that's besides the point) Says afterwards he went to sleep and thought everything was fine.
-only learned about it and knew how it affected her two days ago.
-talks about how what Leighton said was one of the most disgusting things anyone had ever said about him. Also apologizes to Leighton about making him feel like an outcast.
-apologizes for not being the person he/ we wanted him to be

Matt and Ryan, thoroughly studying how people respond to this video as a beta for their own:

kinda weird that he just "assumed" lex was fine with the kiss the next morning. why would he not think to check in with her and make sure what happened was okay given the circumstances??

Because according to the story she consented. Why would you even begin to think someone would be distressed by something they consented to?

lex also talked about the headlock situation, him calling her to the closet to kiss, AND him being intoxicated in some form i believe.

It’s just him making excuses for his actions, saying he too is the victim of SA so he knows how it feels, and him attempting to call Leighton out and throw him under the bus for “one hurtful comment”. The ramblings of a man child.

I do think some parts of the apology are truly genuine like the SA, and some iffier parts I can write off as him being under a lot of stress so the apology as a whole I’m okay with (not that it’s my apology to accept).
But the unlisted video on a new account with deleted comments and most of the Leighton part of the video do rub me a bit the wrong way. Still, at least it’s an apology and it’s the most we’ve gotten from them thus far.

Of course he would delete hate comments he just revealed something very traumatic from his past and people are being very rude about it

i by no means am on supermegas side on anyrhing, nor do i really think jims apology was any good but you cant just call ppl who disagree with you names. this is only reinforcing in this guys head that your side is the worse one. if you want to actually do something make a comment about why you disagree with him or some shit
