From the looks of things, he's already proving to everybody that he's been framed for the very damaging accusations. Just cause he was getting popular, people started to create a rumour just to ruin him. Because of that, they've ruined his reputation. I hope he sues them for everything they've got. They deserve the shitty karma coming their way. An apology is never enough, not when you're whole career has been tainted by a stupid rumour.
