In a recent interview with Stereogum (https://www.stereogum.com/2182018/jewel-music-industry-sexism/interviews/weve-got-a-file-on-you/), Jewel called Loder a "d***" for the 1998 interview (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXu7FU6tlug) discussing her new book of poetry, saying: "What an a** to show himself like that. It was almost that thing where you’d feel sorry for somebody, it’s like, 'Wow, here’s a full grown man who does news for children, on a children’s network, for teenagers.' Yeah. You’re bitter." In a statement to Yahoo Entertainment, Loder responded: "That MTV interview I did with Jewel was a s***** thing to do to anyone, and I've been ashamed of having done it ever since. If I could go back in time I'd smack me in the head. However, I'm not a college graduate...."

that's not an apology - he just admitted that he was a total dick and regrets how it made him look; his words are all about him, there is nothing in there acknowledging Jewel's feelings whatsoever.

pretty much confirms that he is still a dick.
