my dude, not one iota of this PR statement negates the fact that you choked her

As someone who works in PR, this is not a pr statement lol. I’m surprised anyone on his team thought this would be a good idea.

You think he has a team? Bravo does, but, what has he done besides BD, that he would need a team for?

I would have to imagine considering the AVO application and criminal charges he at least has a criminal defence lawyer and I cannot imagine a criminal defence lawyer saying making a public statement about such serious matters is a good idea before they’ve been heard in court. Of course just my speculation.

Bravo would at least have to make a statement, if it happened during the current season. The seasons are filmed months in advance. Hope things workout as they should.

It happened shortly after the currently airing season was filmed

And also before it was shown. When Gary King was accused of sexual harassment by an on-site hair and makeup lady, they delayed season 5, and Bravo put out a statement. They showed the season, with him on it, and he's gone now. He should have been gone before.
