Burke concluded her series of tweets by suggesting Robbins \"talk to more SURVIVORS and less sexist businessmen maybe you’ll understand what we want. We want safety. We want healing. We want accountability. We want closure. We want to live a life free from shame. That’s the reality of the @MeTooMVMT sir, do better.\"

It appeared Burke's comments struck a nerve with Robbins, who said he's now \"realized ... while I’ve dedicated my life to working with victims of abuse all over the world, I need to get connected to the brave women of #MeToo. I am committed to being part of the solution.\"

Robbins concluded: \"I am committed to helping to educate others so that we all stay true to the ideals of the #MeToo movement. I will never stop examining my own words and actions to make sure I am staying true to those ideals. That begins with this brief statement but will not end until our goals are reached.\"

Robbins, a self-help author, became famous in part because of his celebrity clientele, which has included former President Clinton, Oprah Winfrey and Olympic gold medalist Serena Williams. He's also the author of several New York Times best-selling books.

McCool, who says she paid almost $3,000 to attend the 3.5-day seminar, requested a refund. She said it was given to her \"no questions asked.\"

Today, she called Robbins' apology \"a good start\" but said she has no intention of interacting with him again.

\"I hope that this discussion that has taken off from this video ... that women feel empowered by it,\" McCool said. \"I just want that to continue because that’s what the movement is about. It’s about changing the culture through, through speaking our truth and being heard.\"
