Listening to Simmons just makes me more unsure of everything. The guy could be trying so hard to understand American culture, "the memes", trying to be funny. I really think hes just a cringe weirdo theater kid... He's ESL, comes from a different culture where pedo's aren't paraded around like they are here, he even tagged some random chink girl in that insta post and mentioned he was "actively dating" at the time, so he just thought it was funny.
Also earlier, the way he responded to Sylvia screaming at him when Jet made him come out of the bathroom. He just locked up and seemed confused, asking for Jon. The only thing that makes me think he might be playing dumb is how he hid in the bathroom for an hour, but maybe he just was tired and confused about the TTS attention? Or he really was ashamed? Strange.
EDIT *Also, keep in mind he hid in the bathroom twice. Once when he followed Jons plan, and again after Jet talked to him in the basement.
