‘Over the years, I have done things that have harmed other people, including those I love most deeply’The prominent writer Sherman Alexie has admitted causing “harm” to others and apologized to those he “hurt” in a statement released amid anonymous sexual harassment allegations. Alexie and Dremousis have both acknowledged that they also previously had a consensual affair. It’s both sickening and infuriating,” said Dremousis, who has not accused Alexie of sexually harassing her. The Institute of American Indian Arts in Santa Fe said it was renaming its Sherman Alexie Scholarship. Alexie is the latest prominent figure to face scrutiny amid the #MeToo movement, which has shed light on sexual harassment and assault in entertainment, media and the publishing industry.
