Director Morgan Spurlock says he is ‘part of the problem’ of sexual misconduct

Morgan Spurlock submitted a Hollywood confessional Wednesday, revealing his own tales of sexual misconduct in the workplace — and outside of it.

The "Super Size Me" documentarian, who recently sold his sequel "Holy Chicken!" to YouTube Red for $3.5 million, said that as he watches "hero after hero, man after man, fall at the realization of their past indiscretions, I don't sit by and wonder 'who will be next?' I wonder, 'when will they come for me?' "

That fear prompted Spurlock, 47, to tell all in a lengthy Twitter post.

"I'm sure I'm not alone in this thought, but I can't blindly act as though I didn't somehow play a part in this, and if I'm going (to) truly represent myself as someone who has built a career on finding the truth, then it's time for me to be truthful as well," he wrote. "I am part of the problem."

In his post, Spurlock details:

A sexual encounter in college that ended with his female partner claiming rape
Calling a former female employee "hot pants" and "sex pants" in the office and paying her a settlement when she quit
Having been "unfaithful to every wife and girlfriend I have ever had"
That he started drinking at 13 and hasn't been sober "for more than a week in 30 years"

Some on Twitter were skeptical of Spurlock's motives.

Good strategic move to get ahead of what you knew would ultimately be revealed. You are the problem. Now, become part of the solution. What will you do other than owning the behavior. What will you do to empower women and aid their success?
