Khalid’s Ex Hugo D Almonte Apologizes: Here’s What He Said
In a lengthy statement, Hugo D Almonte took full responsibility for his actions after some deep reflection. Additionally, he shared his side of the story, explaining what allegedly went down between him and Khalid.
“I’ve been reflecting deeply on everything that’s happened, and it’s time to speak up. I’ve seen the comments, the backlash, and the disappointment. I understand why people are upset and I take full responsibility for my actions. I made a mistake—a serious one. I outed someone, and that was wrong. No matter the circumstances, it wasn’t my place to reveal something so personal and for that I’m truly sorry.”
Furthermore, Hugo D Almonte alleged that endured emotional abuse for years and experienced multiple instances of manipulation. He also admitted that he wasn’t in the right state of mind when he unleashed the series of posts about Khalid.
“But I need you to hear the full story, because what led to that moment was years of emotional abuse, manipulation, and relentless lies that took a toll on my mental health in ways I never imagined,” Khalid wrote in the statement.
He continued to take responsibility for outing Khalid and stated that he was not in the right space when he did it.
“The day I made those tweets—the day I outed them—I wasn’t in a rational statement of mind. I had reached my breaking point. The stress, the accusations, the lies—it all built up until I went into a psychosis. I wasn’t thinking clearly. I was reacting from a place of deep pain and frustration. I’m not here to justify my actions. I’m here to take responsibility. But I’m also here to ask for understanding. I was manipulated, lied about, and emotionally abused for years. I reached a point where my mental health collapsed, and I made a mistake I deeply regret,” Khalid’s statement continued.
