" On Friday, CeeLo Green pleaded no contest to one felony count of furnishing ecstasy to a woman at a 2012 dinner in Los Angeles. And on Sunday, he spoke out on the matter in a series of very alarming tweets.  Though the tweets have now been deleted, he expressed some bizarre and nonsensical thoughts, claiming that it can only be rape if the person is conscious.  He wrote: &amp;quot;People who have really been raped REMEMBER!!!&amp;quot;, before pushing his point by saying: &amp;quot;If someone is passed out they&amp;#039;re not even WITH you consciously! so WITH Implies consent.&amp;quot; This comes after the woman Green is alleged to have drugged claimed she has no memory of the period between dining with him and waking up naked in his bed. Green&amp;#039;s lawyer argued they had &amp;quot;consensual relations&amp;quot; and no rape charges were filed due to lack of evidence.     You deleted this one too. RT @CeeLoGreen: women who have really been raped REMEMBER!!! \u2014 a nasty woman (@blowticious) September 1, 2014    We hardly know where to begin in our expressing our outrage at such foolish statements, but it goes without saying that rape is rape, whether the victim is conscious or not.  When asked if he had deleted the tweets, Green admitted it and blamed &amp;#039;negative energy&amp;#039;, saying: &amp;quot;yes I did. I will not allow that negative energy to loiter on my time line u still got it so keep it! I&amp;#039;m deleting this too&amp;quot; And yesterday, he returned to Twitter by posting an apology, before insisting his comments had been &amp;#039;taken so far out of context&amp;#039;. Right.
