Accountability is more than a word—it’s a reflection of
moral courage. When we wrong someone, whether intentionally or not, the
honorable response is to admit it, make amends, and move forward with honesty.
Unfortunately, those who prefer to double down on their falsehoods often reveal
far more about themselves than about the people they target.
Truth requires no embellishment and time eventually exposes the dishonest. Silence, in the face of wrongdoing, is not peace—it is complicity. While some hope that ignoring the damage they caused will make the matter fade away, justice has a way of catching up.
I am that Justice.
To this day, neither Bret Gordon, Daniel Duplantis, nor any of the parties associated with their actions have made any effort to retract, correct, or otherwise acknowledge the false and damaging claims they previously published or circulated. No apology, clarification, or expression of remorse has been offered, either publicly or privately, despite being fully aware of their attempt to harm my reputation, my professional standing, and the well-being of those Gordon and his proxies targeted, including a former student and his 13 year old daughter.
Duplantis's act of disseminating false information to third parties was the final straw.
Make no mistake actual crimes were committed.
Their silence for these acts is not an apology—it is an act of cowardice and a deliberate refusal to take responsibility for their unlawful and unethical conduct. Such inaction further underscores the absence of integrity and accountability that has characterized this matter from the beginning.
This continued refusal to accept responsibility or to take
steps toward corrective action reflects a disregard for truth and ethical
conduct. Accordingly, the absence of any
attempt to resolve or repair this matter left no alternative but to pursue
all appropriate remedies, both legal and administrative, to their full and
final conclusion.
The actions taken to date, and those that will follow, are a direct response to the crimes that were committed not only against me but my former student and his daughter. The proceedings that have been set in motion shall continue until the record has been fully corrected, their actions addressed publicly and accountability achieved.
