I have my reasons

The video feed abruptly kicks into life to show Johnny Karma sat on the edge of his hotel bed somewhere in the wilds of Adelaide, and without saying a word it is clear that his head isn't in the right place: he's gone a few days without shaving and has some prominent stubble, he has a withdrawn demanour, and rather than play up to the camera as he usually does he is barely paying attention to the camera on top of his laptop as his eyes flit between the screen and the keyboard
Johnny Karma: For the last couple of days I've been getting a few messages and a whole bunch of texts asking me the same question: where was I? There was a show in Adelaide, but as you no doubt noticed I wasn't there - and I owe you all an explanation.
Pausing for a second, Karma stumbles over what he's trying to say and how he's going to say it, before settling on a way to phrase what's on his mind
Johnny Karma: Okay, you remember what happened just over a year ago, when Johnny Cannon decked Cherry in the face, and then spent plenty of time reminding me of the fact? Now there's a whole lot of things I can say about Johnny Cannon, some of them I have said over the months that followed for various different reasons, just as I said how horrible it was to spend every day for the next couple of weeks to look at the bruise that was covering her face - yet even though I have...sorry, had so many reasons to hate Cannon, in that case it was an accident as he didn't intend to do it. I wouldn't have put it past him, and the way he kept throwing what happened at me like a weapon said he may as well have planned it all along, yet he didn't cross that threshold.
Taking a deep breath, Karma prepares himself for what he has to say next
Johnny Karma: On the other hand, Izzy Anders knew what she was doing when she did it, but she just didn't care. She's not the one who had to calm Cherry down as she was crying backstage because she was scared out of her mind that somebody would want to hurt her, she wasn't the one whose hand was unable to hold the ice pack to her face because her hand was trembling because rage was clouding her every thought and action, and she's not the one who has had to see Cherry every day since then having to try and cover part of her face so people don't stop and whisper among themselves about the bruises she has and start to speculate how she got them, and a fair number of those people whispering were quick to point the finger at me. So that's why I wasn't at the last show, because that's exactly what Izzy Anders wanted to happen, because she wanted to have me in a place where I couldn't think straight so she could execute the next sick idea in her head.
At last, Karma looks towards the camera
Johnny Karma: What you failed to realise during all your posturing is that I've been through this before, I spent most of last year going through this, and that means I am going to do everything I can to avoid making the same mistakes for a second, a third, or a fourth time. SO whatever you had in mind for the show in Adelaide, that's gone now, and if that makes you angry I couldn't be happier to know that your biggest regret is having to go a few hours without making someone's life hell. But don't think that this is how things'll be forever, Izzy, because you know and I know that'll never happen.
Without saying another word, Karma slams a finger down on the button to stop recording, and the image returns to the darkness from which it came
