He tries to put the burden back on Celine with the "everyone knows she would never lose control of her drinking". Celine's allegation was that "Aubrey funneled me alcohol and hit on me the entire night." Aubrey is basically saying that even if he wanted to get her drunk, he wouldn't have been able to, which reeks of gaslighting.
The follow-up with "the very next day she wrote to me without the faintest hint of ambivalence, asking for additional feedback on her presentation" is also completely disingenuous. He's in a position of absolute power and SENS is writing her paychecks. If I had an argument with my wife and the next morning's text was "please pick up milk", that is not evidence that things are good between us.
Innocent until proven guilty is a trial standard. I doubt any of this will go to court, so we have to make up our minds based on what's available. He admits there's evidence he was hitting on a 17 year old and his rhetoric wouldn't convince me the sky is blue, on top of it being tone deaf. More women don't need to come forward and upheave their lives to try to bury this guy's career, he's digging his own grave.
