UPDATE - I am updating this fundraiser because this fight has now gone far beyond the defamation lawsuit I originally filed against Tiffney Billions, Drew Anthony, and Charleston White.
A significant portion of the money raised has already gone directly toward legal expenses in that case. But now, I am also having to defend myself against what I believe is blatant lawfare - people attempting to use the court system and protective orders as a weapon against me because they do not like my reporting, my investigations, or the facts I have uncovered.
I am a journalist. I report. I investigate. I ask questions. I publish information that I believe the public deserves to know. And now, people I have reported on- including activists, race baiters, and grifters - are attempting to turn my reporting into grounds for protective orders and legal action against me.
Most recently, I have been forced to retain counsel and defend myself against a protective-order proceeding brought by Jeanetta Brantley. Jeanetta is the audio engineer I reported on in connection with the purported SeaTow call and transcript surrounding the Nolan Wells case. My reporting challenged the authenticity of that material and exposed serious problems with the narrative being pushed publicly.
Instead of simply responding to my reporting with facts, I am now being dragged into court and forced to spend substantial amounts of money defending myself.
After what has been said publicly about me and my family- including deeply damaging accusations involving one of the most traumatic chapters of my family’s life - I am now preparing to pursue a second defamation lawsuit against Ashlee and Jeanetta Brantley.
I was prepared to walk away. I was prepared to let much of this go. But there comes a point when enough is enough. When people repeatedly make accusations about you, attack your family, distort your past, and then attempt to use the legal system to silence your reporting, you have to defend yourself.
That means I am now fighting on multiple fronts: continuing my existing defamation lawsuit against Tiffney Billions, Drew Anthony, and Charleston White; defending myself against what I believe are attempts to silence me through lawfare; and preparing another defamation action over statements made about me and my family.
Legal battles are incredibly expensive. Depositions, hearings, filings, travel, attorneys’ fees, court costs, discovery, and trial preparation add up quickly. I have already spent a substantial amount of the money raised fighting these battles, and unfortunately, it is becoming clear that I am going to need additional help to continue defending myself.
I will not be intimidated into silence. I will not stop reporting because someone threatens me with a lawsuit or files a protective order because they do not like what I have uncovered. And I will not allow people to publicly attack my children, my family, or falsely rewrite one of the darkest periods of our lives without fighting back.
If you have supported my reporting, my investigations, or my willingness to stand up when others will not, I am asking for your help as I continue this fight.
Every donation helps me continue paying the legal expenses necessary to defend my rights, protect my family, and pursue accountability against those who have crossed the line from criticism into what my attorneys and I believe is actionable defamation.
Thank you to everyone who has supported me, prayed for me, shared my work, donated, or simply stood beside me through this. I do not take any of it for granted.
They can try to intimidate me. They can try to financially exhaust me. They can try to use lawfare to silence me.
I am not going anywhere.
END UPDATE
I believe it is long past time for race-baiting grifters to face the consequences of their words.
Since the beginning of April, I have reported on the Anthony case with accuracy and detailed precision, supported by court documents, open records responses, and thorough research. Because of this, activists and Karmelo Anthony defenders have done everything they can to silence the truth.
These influencers have chosen to support Karmelo based solely on the color of his skin while attempting to intimidate and threaten those who reveal the truth about Austin Metcalf’s murdèr.
I have been doxxed, threatened, harassed, and targeted by individuals within the “celebrity” and influencer world, BLM, Antifa, and the guerrilla mainframe. My church has been targeted. My family has been targeted. My reputation as a reporter has been targeted.
Charleston White and Tiffney Billions have accused me of illegally obtaining “private information” and documents from the Collin County Courthouse. In an interview that has now been viewed over 800,000 times (not counting clips taken from it and spread across the internet), Charleston White claimed that I was a prostitute and a meth addict, and that I sold myself for meth. I have been called a “white supremacist,” a “child abuser,” and a “racist bigot.”
I am officially fatigued. The attacks on my reporting and character, simply because of the color of my skin, are unacceptable in America. It’s time to stand up for myself and others who have been dragged through the mud for defending the facts.
I am suing Charleston White and Tiffney Billions for defamation. I have retained CJ Grisham as my attorney. He is a warrior and aggressive, which I believe is warranted for a case like this.
I cannot do this alone. I appreciate all the help I can get. I will remain transparent throughout this process.
My reporting on this case will continue. I will not be intimidated or silenced by those who refuse to hold people accountable for their actions simply because of the color of their skin. I am done.
