Told all your friends you hate Jessica?
It was just a joke, you tell Jessica.
Slept with Jessicas husband?

Submitted a false report to the police that Jessica was embezzling millions of dollars through her Etsy account?

AndHacks, of all TV shows, just showed A-List celebrities how to do it.

In other words, he did the opposite of Deborah Vance in every way.
Of course, many other male comedians especially older ones have similarly shared half-apologies or non-apologies for their transgressions.
None of these men have apologized or atoned to the extent of Deborah Vance.

That being said, Matt Rife is a scumbag and Netflix should fire him immediately.
