The Christian comedian issued a statement in response to Christian magazine Charisma News' report of sexual misconduct allegations against him, which led Netflix to pull his Thanksgiving Day comedy special. "Over the past number of years, various women have accused me of behavior that has been hurtful to them," he said in the statement. "While I am not guilty of everything I've been accused of, I confess to being guilty of this -- I have treated relationships with women far too casually, in some cases even recklessly. My behavior has been destructive and sinful. I've sinned against God, against women and the people who I love the most. I have violated my own Christian beliefs, convictions and values, and have hurt many people in the process. I am sorry for the hurt and pain I have caused these women and will continue to seek their forgiveness. I have also hurt the name of Jesus and have sought His forgiveness."
