TRANSCRIPT:
There’s this girl I hooked up with in LA. She spent a few nights with me.
And I’m very aware at that time that, yes, I might morally and privately be able to have relationships with whoever I want to. But the world who knows me just parasocially, sees me as a normal married guy.
And I said to myself, in my mind, if the police show up to this hotel with a half dressed woman in my hotel room, involved in some sort of a physical altercation, my life is over.
Now she’s a small person, okay. Meaning, I mean, she’s a grown person, but she’s—I’m 220 pounds. I mean she’s probably a 110 soaking wet. So I’m not in physical—at no point did I feel like I was in some kind of physical danger.
I, at this point, I’m just trying to calm her down, calm her down, calm her down, but I have no idea how I’m getting us out of this hotel room.
Eventually I—we go down the elevator, we go through reception, we get out of the building.
I need to get rid of her. Okay, so I go, “Look, you’re not coming back to the hotel with me. I’m going to call you an Uber. You’ve got to go home.”
As the Uber is pulling up, she goes, “Just give me one last kiss.” And she jumps on me. So I grab her wrist and pull it off of my neck… and she falls into the building. And I see her head hit one of the corners of this building.
And my first thought was, oh fuck. That actually looked pretty bad.
She has a bloody head.
Okay. And my second thought was, this is my chance to get away. And I start very quickly walking away.
It was actually Mike Rinder who said, “I don’t actually care if Aaron did this or not. Aaron makes horrible careless decisions. And if he didn’t do this, he’ll do something else in the future and it’ll be much worse. And he’s going to take us all down with him. And I don’t want to be associated with him.
