I largely believe his accusers (although I have a hard time envisioning him claiming privilege because he is an entertainer - at least not in that language - or as anything other than a joke).

But I am still impressed with his response to date. He appears to be genuinely surprised that his actions crossed the line, willing to learn from the experience, and I do not believe his actions (as alleged) are serious enough to warrant resignation.
