So he basically confirms everything The New Yorker article said then. Not sure what he thinks he did here.
He disputed several details of that article and added context that The New Yorker was aware of but chose to omit.
E.g. the article makes it sound like he fabricated the prom story, but all he changed was the day that he heard about it. The article also says that he invited the woman to his show and embarrassed her; however, he did not invite her and she enjoyed the show.
Yeah, pretty brutal that the article states he invited the prom date to the show to humiliate her, which was completely untrue. For an article trying to call him out on lying it sure lied about a lot of stuff.
