In a video posted to YouTube, Murad has now addressed the viral videos. In the video, he says: "First and foremost, the written content is not me, the derogatory comments are not written by me and I will stand by that, this is not who I am.” "Some of this content is also not me and I can profusely apologise, I take full accountability for how this has come across and how everybody has felt from this content.
"Some of this content is me, not now, not recently in the last five years, six years, not any moment now." Murad goes on to insist the "vile racist verbiage" in the captions of the screenshots were not written by him. "I did not write this stuff, people make their own captions, they mix it with their own pictures for their own satisfaction, their own desires or their own fantasies, their ideations, whatever they have and they put it together for their own mental satisfaction for whatever desire that they have as a person," he said.
Murad then claims that he was "severely raped" at the age of 14 "countless times". He admits the abuse "f***ed me up" and he could "never get it out of my head".
