Ghomeshi, a former CBC radio star, was fired in 2014 when multiple allegations of sexual abuse and harassment emerged. He remained silent about the case until Friday when the New York Review of Books published a lengthy first-person piece under Ghomeshi’s name. “One of my female friends quips that I should get some kind of public recognition as a #MeToo pioneer. But I was the guy everyone hated first.”The impact of it all, he writes, was devastating for him. This piece was not created to serve as a marketing tool or to promote any new projects,” the statement says.
