From my personal Instagram, 18/09/26: I want to clarify why I took down my initial video, because I am receiving THREATS for taking down the TRUTH to protect another person from further harm. I stand entirely behind its FACTUAL recount of events and the evidence presented. Removing it was NOT an admission that anything I said was incorrect. The video was removed to reduce the excessive hate being directed towards her and protect the other men and women impacted. It was a decision to reduce harm, NOT a retraction. I also deactivated because I felt overwhelmed by the pain of everyone who had trusted me with their experiences, including women who shared evidence of being called “whores,” having their relationships interfered with, or being bullied by this individual. I did NOT deactivate out of guilt. I was overwhelmed by the gravity of how many people had been dragged into this. While organising an overwhelming amount of evidence under significant stress, I also realised some names were not censored correctly. As I said in the video, making up and spreading harmful claims about myself and other public figures, when we have overwhelming evidence documenting contradictory accounts, is malicious. Far too many men AND women were unnecessarily dragged into this and had damaging claims made about their relationships, character and intimate lives. Repeated lying about people is not okay. Anyone with critical thinking skills can look at OUR evidence and understand why this behaviour needed to be exposed. Think critically before deciding who cheated when you have NOT seen all the evidence yourselves. I am grateful for the overwhelming love shown towards an informational video where I presented evidence without hatred. The hate I am receiving is a tiny fraction of that support and largely comes from faceless accounts, but threats and harassment are still NOT okay. I never imagined experiencing this. Accountability matters, including our own. I do not condone death threats or harassment towards me, Arika, or anyone involved. My involvement ends here.
