I wish I had found a way to kinda resolve things in a different way. I hate that. [ BLANK_AUDIO ] I had never had any complaints like that made about me before in my life. And It was, that was really embarrassing, and I didn't know how to handle it. And I didn't agree with everything that was, the way that I was being described and the things that were said about me. But I wanted to try to make it right. So we made it right in the way that was asked at the time. And we all agreed to just sort of try to put it behind us and move on with our lives, which I think we deserved to do. I want to sort of respect them as they've respected me in my privacy. That's that. Over the past couple of years, I guess I've been listening a lot to this conversation, this public conversation, and learned a lot. I've kind of moved from a place of being defensive to one of sort of a more mature point- of- view, trying to Find my own culpability, and once I did that, I discovered there was a lot to learn. [ BLANK_AUDIO ] I was a boss. I was one of the producers on the set. This movie was in 2008, 2009 we shot, and I was one of the producers. And it was this kinda crazy mockumentary. Very unconventional a movie with the cast as a crew and the crew's kind of the cast. And it was an unprofessional environment. And the buck had to stop with Nate being one of the producers. And I have to accept responsibility for that and that was a mistake. And I contributed to that unprofessional environment. And I tolerated that kind of behavior from other people. And I wish that I hadn't. And I regret a lot of that. I really did not know what I was responsible for as kind of the boss. I don't know if I even thought of myself as the boss. But I behave in the way and allowed others to behave in a way that was really unprofessional. And I'm sorry. ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Casey Affleck Speaks Out About His Oscar Controversy","description":"Casey Affleck Speaks Out About His Oscar Controversy","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/YQUEJ81X/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2018-08-09T19:46:49.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/YQUEJ81X.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/video/YQUEJ81X/","duration":"PT2M36S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/video/YQUEJ81X/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}} ```
