The humorist and entertainer, 53, took to Instagram on Sunday to share a message straightforwardly to his fans denying the allegations and reported he is taking a "time away" from his web recording "The Fighter and the Kid," which he co-has with previous UFC contender Brendan Schaub.
"At the point when you're in a circumstance as am I, you get a great deal of guidance from a variety of individuals, and it for the most part falls into two unique classifications. They either advise you to post an announcement and vanish or they state to hide out and let the sequence of media reports cruise you by," Callen clarified in the post. "All things considered, for better or for more awful, I'm not doing any of that."
He expressed his supposed previous activities "are not things that I could do, those are not things that I could ever do. That isn't the way I have ever carried on with my life."
Callen said he has faith in the #MeToo development since it is "one of the most significant developments of my lifetime, due to the first run through in history it gives ladies plan of action against the maltreatment of intensity, and that improves the world a spot."

"It's only a reality that online life and the press alone can go about as judge, jury and killer… [so] when something like this occurs, this is basically the main way you can guard yourself."
