UPDATED — Sept. 2, 1:28 a.m. ET:


Singer CeeLo Green took to Twitter today to make an attempt to define what rape is, shortly after pleading no contest for charges that he slipped a woman ecstasy without her consent in 2012.

CeeLo Green attends a preliminary hearing for an ecstasy possession charge at the Clara Shortridge Foltz Criminal Justice Center in Los Angeles.


The 39-year-old took to Twitter to defend himself, replying to users’ comments on the case with a series of bizarre statements about rape.


“If someone is passed out they’re not even WITH you consciously,” he said, adding, “People who have really been raped REMEMBER!!!”


















Green’s lawyer argued the two had “consensual relations,” despite the woman’s claim that she woke up in bed next to Green and was unsure of what happened the night before.


Green faced one felony drug charge. Prosecutors’ claim of lack of evidence led to no rape charges being filed, but he was still sentenced to three years of probation, plus 45 days of community service.










The Voice coach also emphasized that he wasn’t admitting guilt by making a no contest plea.

Green first deleted all of his tweets, and then the whole Twitter account.

BuzzFeed has reached out to CeeLo Green’s representative for comment.


update


Green had tweeted an apology before deleting his account entirely.

The tweets read:

“Let me 1st praise god for exoneration fairness & freedom! Secondly I sincerely apologize for my comments being taken so far out of context.”

“I only intended on a healthy exchange to help heal those who love me from the pain I had already caused from this. Please forgive me as it..”

“…was your support that got me thru this to begin with. I’d never condone the harm of any women. Thank you.” Sept. 2, 2014, at 12:28 a.m.

So basically CeeLo is gross and should have been convicted of all charges.

that's kind of what I thought too.

[pixy0stix]

And now he is on my celebrity shit list.

[tacokick]

I can't say I am surprised after reading the reports back in 2012

[Deleted]

And I'm like, Fuck you

[cattledogkisses]

It's only rape if you remember? What the hell?!

[iammalcolmx]

I believe it totally. Everyone in Atlanta knows he is an awful freaky mess. Didn't know he was a rapist though.

[ohyouknow]

So disgusting. Ugh.

[AJL]

GROSS! That guy is a douche.

[lasagnasshole]

I had no idea he was suck a prick.

Is he still on The Voice? (Is The Voice still on? I don't know these things.) Do we think he'll be dropped?

[gazpacho]

What a disgusting viewpoint.

What a dirtbag. Not that his "apology" means anything, anyway, but I HATE when people apologize by not apologizing. Not, "sorry I said some awful shit" but "sorry YOU took the awful shit out of context."

Right? If you're not sorry, just don't apologize. We can tell the difference.

[elocrates]

Huh? WTF that anyone would think this. WTF that he would write it on social media. (And another WTF that his lawyer wasn't on top of the issue before it was posted in the first place. Though I'm glad we know he thinks this way. Add another jerkface to the list.)

[Deleted]

I am not defending his actions or his words. Fuck him. But hasn't he been in the loony bin a number of times? I am sure I read that he is genuinely unstable. Of course, once you are a certain level of rich, no one notices that lol.

[lyssbobiss, Command, B613]

Wasn't there some mess about him giving someone ecstasy so she would sleep with him?

It was only mentioned vaguely in this article, but I think this might have been related to the case in question.

[secretlyevil]

CeeLo is a fuckhead rapist. Great.

Knowing the world, he will probably get a raise and a promotion.

[notsocreepylurker]

I guess he really believed that Senator/Congressman/whatever who came up with the whole LEGITIMATE RAPE thing

<barf>

[tictac]

I'm not understanding the "If someone is passed out they’re not even WITH you consciously! So WITH implies consent" tweet that was screen grabbed in the article.

Asshole, you just flat out said "if you're unconscious, you're not able to consent" with your own words!

Ugh, I just hope The Voice does the right thing and shit-cans this fucker, and publicly says in no uncertain terms it's because they refuse to have an unapologetic rapist on their show.

ETA: had no idea he wasn't still on The Voice. Shows you how much I'm into that show in the first place, lol. Either way: I hope this douche's career is completely finished after all this

[readyin07]

wtf seriously wtf.
