What do you think should happen to Spiegel now that his private emails have been leaked? Comment below!
Spiegel is now apologizing after a filthy set of emails he wrote several years ago to his friends and fraternity brothers at Stanford University.
In a written response sent to CNN by Snapchat, Spiegel, now 23, apologized for the e-mails.
“I’m obviously mortified and embarrassed that my idiotic e-mails during my fraternity days were made public,” he said. “I have no excuse. I’m sorry I wrote them at the time and I was a jerk to have written them. They in no way reflect who I am today or my views towards women.”
In the e-mails, Spiegel encourages fellow Kappa Sigma members to get sorority women drunk enough to have sex, mocks another fraternity by suggesting its members are gay and refers to a different group of sorority members as “sororisluts.”
“Hope at least six girl[s] [performed a sex act on you] last night because that didn’t happen for me,” he wrote in one e-mail after a fraternity party.
In another, the blog says, he jokes that the point of a laser-tag outing was to “shoot lasers at fat girls.”
In other messages that were screen-grabbed onto the Gawker blog, Spiegel described a party “shopping list” that included “3 kegs, 5 … plastic shot glasses, 1 ounce of marijuana, 1 kilo of blow (cocaine).”
In another, he writes, “I’ll roll a blunt for whoever sees the most (breasts) tonight,” according to the blog.
A Snapchat spokeswoman said that Spiegel had no further comment.
