Disgraced former CBC Radio host Jian Ghomeshi penned a personal essay in The New York Review of Books that drew swift backlash on Friday, with many social media users questioning why he was given such a prestigious platform to detail his life post-trial. "He didn't start the movement on sexual violence — we did." The cover story, billed as "Jian Ghomeshi on Jian Ghomeshi," is set to appear in the magazine's October issue on "The Fall of Men." A representative for The New York Review of Books said the publication had no comment on the matter. Ghomeshi writes in the essay that he cannot confess to accusations he maintains are "inaccurate," but admits he should have been more "respectful and responsive" with the women in his life.
