Takei thanked fans for standing by him, and wished his accuser peace in a statement posted to Facebook: As many of you know, this has been a very difficult period for myself and my husband Brad as we have dealt with the impact of these accusations, but we are happy to see that this nightmare is finally drawing to a close. As I stated before, I do not remember Mr. Brunton or any of the events he described from forty years ago, but I do understand that this was part of a very important national conversation that we as a society must have, painful as it might be. It is in that spirit that I want folks to know, despite what he has put us through, I do not bear Mr. Brunton any ill will, and I wish him peace. Brad and I are especially grateful for the many fans who stood by me throughout this ordeal. Your support kept us going, and we are so immensely thankful for you. Uncle George" Takei is a class act. --- Woo! <cite>ollie89 posted [p:901982281] in 'Star Trek...

Neither of those reactions make sense I'm guess either a threat or a bribe to keep him quiet. --- ^ Hey now that's completely unfair. https://imgtc.com/i/14JHfrt.jpg <cite>UnfairRepresent posted [p:901982924] in 'Star Trek...

I mean, it's pretty obvious he's taking the high road and saying 'Okay, well, good luck then". Even taking morality aside, pragmatically it makes a butt load of sense. If he kept bringing it up, it would just make him look petty and keep the news story going longer. What, exactly, do you think he should have done? <cite>Dash_Harber posted [p:901998779] in 'Star Trek...
