""There's a lot of hatred towards me for looking like this," he explains on the Friends Keep Secrets podcast. The negative comments affected him so deeply that he no longer wanted to attend public events, especially when they turned toward calling him a cheater amid the Carpenter breakup."
""I stopped going to events. I stopped socializing. There was a narrative out there that was never really sort of even spoken on, a narrative that's not true, and I never confirmed or said anything about it. And I just disappeared.""
""At the time, I didn't want to 'pile on' to the situation by addressing the rumors, for fear of sending my attackers to someone else. Hopefully, by the time my Beatles movie comes out, everyone will learn that all you need is love.""
