I think it was pretty clear that statement did not mean "I always take the first no for an answer". He obviously pressured and coerced these girls into some kind of perceived consent, which is the main issue and debatable if it should be considered consent at all, but he was clearly trying to save face with a technicality by saying "I never actually raped someone when they said no, I just made them say yes against their will".

I did watch the video and she also used air quotes when she said apology.

It's understandable that she doesn't want to accept his apology but she can't even articulate why. She says she believes everyone can be rehabilitated and change for the better but that she doesn't consider his video an apology when acknowledging how he normalized this behavior and getting help was the crux of his apology.

Like I said, judging by what she said in this video it seems like to her the only justice would be him saying "I am going to disappear forever, live a miserable life, and give all my money in perpetuity to the victims"
