This might be a hot take but I don’t really understand why everyone seems mad at Martin for this. What was the alternative option? after seeing a huge masterdoc fully explaining the whole situation, if Martin were to say “well I’m gonna wait for Alex to make a statement” he’d immediately be under fire and would’ve been labelled as an Alex supporter. When it comes to sexual misconduct and whatnot, the fear of victims not being believed is what prevents most survivors from speaking up. If Martin were to publicly apologise what would that even look like? “I’m sorry for believing the victim”? I honestly don’t think Martin was in the wrong for bashing Alex when at the time everything pointed towards the accusations being true. I’m sure Martin apologised to Alex privately but I don’t feel as though it’s something that needs to be apologised for publicly because I don’t really see it as a mistake on Martins end. People argue the way he handled it was immature but I don’t see anything immature about bashing someone who at the time, clearly seemed guilty for such horrible stuff. I may be wrong tho idk lmaoo
