The filmmaker behind "Super Size Me" has admitted to sexual misconduct in a confession titled "I am part of the problem."
The confession, which Morgan Spurlock published to his social media accounts, details episodes that started in college but extend into his professional career.
"I've come to understand after months of these revelations, that I am not some innocent bystander, I am also a part of the problem," he wrote, referencing the recent wave of sexual misconduct allegations against prominent men.
"If I'm going [to] truly represent myself as someone who has built a career on finding the truth, then it's time for me to be truthful as well," he said.
Spurlock's publicist confirmed the authenticity of the post to CNN.
Spurlock is stepping down effective immediately as CEO of his production company, Warrior Poets, according to a note from his partners at the company, Jeremy Chilnick and Matthew Galkin, that was obtained by CNN.
Spurlock said in his confession that he called a former female assistant "hot pants" or "sex pants" in the office, only realizing it was degrading when she came to him asking for a "settlement."
"I paid for peace of mind," he wrote. "I paid for her silence and cooperation. Most of all, I paid so I could remain who I was."

He also described a sexual encounter with a woman in college who later accused him of rape. He had considered the sex to be consensual.
Spurlock said he "didn't know what to do" when the woman started to cry during sex. She had said earlier in the night, before they took off their clothes, that she did not want to have sex.
"We stopped having sex and I rolled beside her," Spurlock wrote

It would appear that Mr. Spurlock believes this confession to be a positive move re: his career.
The guy is a loser Michael Moore wannabe.
Smells like he’s writing his next screen play.
“Hey baby, SuperSize me!”
My daughter developed an eating disorder in high-school because her liberal moonbat health teacher made the class watch Super Size Me.
This whole thing seems to have made the full evolution.
In the beginning, there was an element of “has-been wannabe movie star” accusing a Big Shot of harassment as a way to make money or get some publicity.
Now it’s the Men who are outing themselves as past sex harassers as a way to make money or get some publicity.
America! What a country!
My view: male-female relationships are always complex, and in the past, people tried to be reasonable about mistakes and misunderstandings. Nowadays, everything s a crisis and no feels and compulsion to be reasonable or fair.
He is trying to row the dinghy away from the tidal wave.
I need to become a member of #metoo.
That is, regarding sexual misconduct sometime in my 64 years, I’ve done it.
#metoo
I liked girls, and I had a 1963 rambler with fold down seats, and I went to the drive in. With girls. Most were quite compliant but a couple had to say no more than once before I got the message.
Somebody shoot me.

She didn’t want sex, but she took off her clothes. Good grief.
“Me too”, I got some free grabs too, I wasn’t left out in the cold, I’m a cool predator guy too........../sarc
History repeats. There was a time in Ancient Rome when the privileged woke nervously in the morning wondering if the empower had placed them on his proscription list. The Plebes had no sympathy for the patricians who were persecuted without due process. So it goes in modern day America.

Sounds like a couple of inebriated college students behaving in a typical fashion. If she didn’t want to have s**, why did she take off her clothes? Buyer’s remorse, IMO. (I am a woman, btw). I may be wrong, but that is what it sounds like to me.
And as for the crying, maybe this is too much info, but s** can lead to intense emotions; it has been a long time for me, but I did cry a couple of times, out of joy.
Again, if you don’t want to have s**, keep your clothes on and call a cab to get home. Or if he is at your place, tell him to get out, and if he won’t, call the police.
What is up with all of these “sexual misconduct” stories now? Bizarre.
What a putz.

Exactly. Please see my post #13.
I think you just described about 95% of American teenage boys.
This “admission” also seems to invalidate the premise of the Movie SuperSize Me.
He used liver tests to show that Big Macs were blowing out his liver. In this treatise, he admits to heavy drinking, never going more than a week without being on the sauce. He could have started out the month dry and progressively powered down booze so that by the end of the month, his liver was in desperate need of regeneration.
Okay, now I am super confused. LOL! ;)
All the best, FRiend. :)

It is impossible to plumb the depths of Hollywood depravity.
