Underwood also alleged that he’d been “molested by my best friends’ stepfather” at age 12 and further explained that he chose to speak up about his history of assault and harassment after receiving intense public criticism, saying “many people have been blowing up [his] email” and calling him a “pedophile defender” for remaining silent after the release of Quiet on Set.
