    John Lennon admitted to hitting an ex girlfriend. He came out, apologised for it, and said he was trying to better himself but he had a whole load of problems.

    Bizarrely, his ex later came out and said John didn’t beat her and that she didn’t know what he was talking about.

    Ringo has also admitted to hitting a girlfriend before.

      There are plenty of situations where you can hit someone and then feel bad and apologize for that, which in my opinion do not make you a piece of shit.

      Say, I have BAD, ASD, probably ADHD (with the previous two hard to tell, a lot of intersections really and comorbidity … long story). I do get emotional, sometimes with destructive results. Haven’t hit anyone in many years, but can easily imagine doing that.
