Tait confirmed the allegations on social media

On Tuesday, Tait spoke out about the allegations in an Instagram post titled “My Confession,” admitting that the reports about drug and alcohol abuse, along with sexual activity with men, “are sadly, largely true.”

“For some two decades I used and abused cocaine, consumed far too much alcohol, and, at times, touched men in an unwanted sensual way,“ he wrote.

“I am ashamed of my life choices and actions, and make no excuses for them. I will simply call it what God calls it — sin. I don’t blame anyone or anything but myself,“ he continued. “While I might dispute certain details in the accusations against me, I do not dispute the substance of them.”
