From his apology:

“I preyed on them. I ceaselessly hit on them. I pressured them into sex. I got too drunk and did all manner of dumb things. Yes, I was one of those shitty, creepy sexual predators you hear about.”

I do not get the impression that he apologized for having sex with people while also being guilty of being prominent in his industry. I’m not entirely clear how “any sex with a celebrity is rape” is a salient point here.

Would have to ask him but I wouldn't be surprised if he used the terminology in this new loose way, and now regrets doing that.

Aside from his stated specific behaviors that are generally accepted as being under the “old” umbrella of sexual predator, I suppose it is entirely possible that he meant to call himself “a sexual predator” under the “new” definition that somehow applies to any sexually active person that is wealthy or employed as a manager.

I genuinely am just now learning about this “new” shift in definition as my understanding was that the term was applied to people due to their behavior towards others and how they’re experienced by the other involved parties. Expanding it to mean “anybody with money or status” doesn’t seem useful aside from maybe diluting the phrase’s meaning in such a way that it provides cover for actually abusive people.
