“It was an attempt to be sexy, and it was so not OK in the context.”
The musician admitted to the extramarital relationships, but claimed they were consensual in a statement.
“I have had consensual relationships outside of my marriage,” Butler told Pitchfork.
“I vehemently deny any suggestion that I forced myself on a woman or demanded sexual favors.
That simply, and unequivocally, never happened.
“He has been my partner in life and in music for 20 years.
And for all of the love in our lives, I have also watched him suffer through immense pain.
He has lost his way and he has found his way back.”
A rep for Butler declined to comment further when reached by EW.
