He wrote, "A lot is being said about an incident where I raised my hand against a childhood friend. I don't think anyone should be confused by these rumours — it's not respectful to me, my family, or my friend. We have spoken about what happened.
"I just want to say one thing: the story being spread is different — the reality is something else."
