Throughout this whole scenario Hilton has not apologised for anything. Even when he explained about the fraud he never said sorry, only that he wished he hadn’t done it.
He always plays the victim card, and it is never his fault. His attack on Slater was unnecessary & plain wrong.
He is not trustworthy.
This is the thing. He says he’s rehabilitated, but if what IB has said is the case, it puts it at odds with Hilton’s words, or are we supposed to believe that it was some foolish error to do that? Like you say, there was no actual apology and his owning came among a lot of sympathy for himself and the mud slinging at The Athletic was disgusting. There’s also the “was any of this legal? Absolutely f’ing not’ meme he shared on Facebook after his release in 2017. OK, a minor post which may not mean much, but that mentality doesn’t quite fit with the embarrassed figure portrayed by Hilton yesterday.
