For the record, Lloyd's actual assertion is that he went to Thailand to visit his Thai sex-worker girlfriend. (ed: Leaving his wife and 2 very young children behind at Christmas)
J.Lloyd Evans on OTE with Andrew Gold (Apr 14, 2022 @ the 20.30 mark): "... I dated a sex-worker in Thailand. But this is the thing - that a lot has been said on YouTube where there's not based on anything that I've said and it's not even based on things that Kim Silvio has said. People have just raced to conclusions based on the fact that I went to Thailand..."
@about 25:30 there Lloyd says: "... I think bullying is wrong. I've never- I've never - umm - handled bullies very well... I'm sure as hell not going to let a bunch of people who think that I should no longer exist as an activist. I'm not going to let them bully me either. It's kind of in my DNA to push back against that short of thing."
@ about 27:45: "Those who know me well know that I actually apologize quite readily."
ROFLOL!!
