In the clip, which was circulated online after the hit show aired on Netflix on April 6, Chow details getting an erection during a massage and intercourse in front of and with a masseuse he named Rose.

According to the transcript of the video published by BuzzFeed News after its initial release in 2014, Chow detailed masturbation during a massage and forcing Rose to participate in a sexual act in which she “definitely did not participate”, admitting that it was “rape behavior” but denying that he was a rapist.

The full interview excerpt from Chow’s podcast, DVDASA, was tweeted by journalist Aura Bogado. who tweeted on sunday that it was removed after someone identifying himself as Chow asked Twitter to remove the video on copyright grounds. So Bogado tweeted excerpt from interview on TikTok, she said she was removed from the video platform for violating community guidelines.

In clips of interviews that stay on social networks, Cho describes the masseuse as “half black, half white” and says she was excited about the “thrill of a possible prison”.

“You’re basically telling us that you’re a rapist now, and the only way to get a really hard cock is through rape,” podcast co-host Asa Akira says, to which Choi replies “Yes,” before referring to himself as ” successful rapist.

After criticizing an interview in 2014, Chow issued a statement to a now-defunct podcast website in which he denied he was a rapist and claimed the story was not factual or “a representation of my reality,” according to BuzzFeed News.

Chou, who is also a successful graffiti artist, released another interview statement. on instagram in 2017 after a mural he painted in New York how to spray paint with the word “rapist”. At the time, Chow again denied that the story he told on his podcast actually took place and wrote that he had “ZERO history of sexual abuse.”

CBS News has reached out to Chow for comment, as well as to Wong, Yuen and Netflix. Neither Wong nor Yuen, who are also producers on the show, have spoken publicly about the incident.
