US documentary filmmaker Morgan Spurlock has publicly confessed to a history of sexual misconduct, referring to himself as “part of the problem”.
Mr Spurlock, who made the hit film Super Size Me, wrote on Twitter that he had been accused of rape and had paid to settle a claim of sexual harassment.
He also admitted cheating on “every wife and girlfriend I have ever had”.
The US entertainment industry has been rocked by claims of sexual abuse and harassment going back decades.
In a lengthy statement, Mr Spurlock said that after months of such revelations he had come to the conclusion that “I am not some innocent bystander, I am also a part of the problem”.
“As I sit around watching hero after hero, man after man, fall at the realisation of their past indiscretions, I don’t sit by and wonder ‘who will be next?’ I wonder, ‘when will they come for me?’,” he wrote.
