In a detailed and heartfelt statement, Hugo D Almonte accepted full accountability for his actions, reflecting on the situation with sincerity. He also provided insight into his perspective, detailing the events that transpired between him and Khalid, which contributed to the public dispute.

“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.”

Additionally, Hugo revealed that he endured years of emotional turmoil and instances of manipulation during their relationship. He candidly admitted that his mindset was not stable when he chose to share the series of posts about Khalid, indicating a struggle with his mental health.

“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 expressed in his statement, seeking to clarify the complexities behind the situation.

He continued to emphasize the weight of responsibility he feels for his actions in revealing Khalid’s private life and acknowledged that he was not in a proper mental space when he made those tweets.

“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.
