Vent: That celebrity chef's apology felt like a copy-paste job from the last 3 scandals

I was watching this interview where the guy said he was sorry for yelling at his staff back in 2019. But he used the same exact words as that actress who got caught being rude on set last year. Like word for word. Am I supposed to believe someone suddenly changes after getting caught? Or are these just scripts now? Has anyone else noticed apologies sounding exactly the same lately?

That exact same wording is what gets me too, @leewood. I saw one last month where a musician apologized for missing a show and used the phrase "I'm committed to doing the work" and it was the exact same sentence from a YouTuber's apology six months ago. It's honestly insulting, like they think we're too dumb to notice they're all reading off the same sheet of paper. Give me one apology that says "I yelled at my assistant on June 15th and called her a name I'm embarrassed to repeat" and I might actually believe them.

Peep that PR firm copy they all use. It's the same canned lines about "taking ownership" and "doing the work" without ever saying what they actually did wrong. Real apologies sound messy and specific, not like a corporate handout. Give me one apology that mentions the exact cuss words they yelled or the specific day they walked out, then maybe I'll listen. lol.

Oh man, you hit the nail right on the head with that one. It drives me crazy how they all sound like they copied the same script, all these big vague promises with zero actual details. I'd actually respect someone way more if they just said "Yeah, I lost my temper on Tuesday and called someone a jerk, and I was wrong." That messy, specific stuff is what real humans say, not some PR bot. It's like they're so scared of admitting exactly what happened that the apology ends up meaning nothing at all.
