"I quit drinking like six years ago, so I don’t have the liquid courage. I just have dry courage," he said.

"Sexually, it was crazy. That’s all I’ll say. It was like napalm, sexual napalm," he said.

Jess responded to these comments in her 2020 memoir: "He was the most loyal person on the planet, and when I read that he wasn’t, that was it for me. I erased his number. He made it easy for me to walk away.”
