Tony Robbins apologizes for critical comments on #MeToo
NEW YORK (AP) — Self-help guru Tony Robbins has apologized for critical comments he made about the #MeToo movement in a video that went viral.
In a Facebook post Sunday , Robbins said he fully supports the #MeToo movement and that he needs to "be a part of the solution."
Robbins came under criticism for an exchange at a recent self-help event in San Jose, California. Robbins told a female attendee that he took issue with "victimhood." He said sexual harassment victims were "making themselves significant by making somebody else wrong."
Robbins then related a story about a "very famous, very powerful man" who declined to hire a woman because she was considered attractive.
