Neil deGrasse Tyson has officially responded to the sexual misconduct allegations he’s facing publicly this weekend.
In a post on social media released a couple hours ago, the astrophysicist recounted his take on every point and time in which he’s accused of sexual misconduct (in total, three — two are new) over the past several decades.

In part, to begin the statement, Tyson wrote this (below) before going on to recount (and in two cases, apologize) for what was termed as sexual misconduct, per the allegations:
“In any claim, evidence matters. Evidence always matters. But what happens when it’s just one person’s word against another’s, and the stories don’t agree? That’s when people tend to pass judgment on who is more credible than whom. And that’s when an impartial investigation can best serve the truth – and would have my full cooperation to do so.
I’ve recently been publically [sic] accused of sexual misconduct. These accusations have received a fair amount of press in the past forty-eight hours, unaccompanied by my reactions. In many cases, it’s not the media’s fault. I declined comment on the grounds that serious accusations should not be adjudicated in the press. But clearly I cannot continue to stay silent. So below I offer my account of each accusation.”
The entire statement is well worth reading.
