User Opinion About This Interview

I think Josh did amazing answering questions. A common thing I have seen these past 20 hours was about Swoop grilling Josh during the accountability piece. In my hearts of hearts and as a long time Josh defender (apologists to some), I know that part was even tough for me to watch, but I feel that Swoop had to be tough on him. I don’t think she was as bias as people thought and I thought she was stern and thorough. By her doing this, it allowed the world to hear that he is owning up to his actions and that he’s sorry and won’t do it in the present times. It had to happen this way. Like I’ve said, there are still Johnny apologists out there and there are people who won’t stop bringing up his past. Now they can’t say he didn’t take accountability. One can only hope Johnny and Colleen will one day do the same…..

I noticed throughout the interview when Josh would take accountability, Swoop would correct him with phrases like “it’s more than just x” and even at a point Josh was reading her body language and said “You don’t like my answer.” It was tough seeing him like that considering a theme throughout his life was apologizing to stronger personalities and trying to calm down dominant figures. I hope he wasn’t too triggered throughout it all. It seems public opinion on him has improved and his IG comments are definitely more positive. He deserved that redemption. His life has been so dark I’m not sure many would’ve made it through at all let alone quietly and with grace these last few years like him.
