The response came through a direct message that was later shared publicly by former Weekend Buzz co-host Robert Brink.
Brink posted that he had planned to share a clip from a recent interview but decided not to after seeing Burman’s message.
He thanked Burman in the post and explained that the message stood out enough to share with his followers.
According to Brink, Burman reached out through private messages and sent the same statement twice.
Brink included his own commentary in the post, which reflects his personal opinion and not a legal ruling or confirmed finding.

In the message shared, Burman made his position clear. He said he has never knowingly pursued or contacted anyone underage for any reason.
He repeated that statement and said he stands by it. Burman also added that he is not banking on anything and is simply stating his side.
The message did not go into details or respond point by point to claims circulating online. Instead, it focused on intent and awareness, with Burman stressing that he did not knowingly engage in that kind of contact.
At this time, there has been no public update from courts or authorities connected to the online discussion.
Everything being shared appears to come from personal posts, screenshots, and individual commentary.
For people watching this in real time, the situation shows how fast things can move online and how statements can spread before anything official is addressed.
No further statements have been released, and the situation remains centered on social media conversations rather than formal action.
