UPDATE - Since the Karmelo Anthony case, this has escalated to the point that they’re attempting to use me as “an example” to start their race war.

Now, with my reporting on the Nolan Wells case, and the targeting from activists who have said they’re going to “drag me” through the courts, prolong court proceedings, send the Black Panthers to my attorney’s house, and have now even called on “the Nation of Islam and all black organizations” to come and attempt to intimidate me at the next court hearing, I am still fighting these people.

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 publish information that I believe the public deserves to know. And now, people I have reported on- including activists, frauds, liars, race baiters, and grifters - are attempting to turn my reporting into grounds for protective orders.

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 fake 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.

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 that has caused threats and targeting.

I am DONE letting these people go unchallenged.

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.

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.

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.

🚨 BREAKING REPORT: MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENT STABS TWO CLASSMATES AND TEACHER INSIDE MISSOURI CLASSROOM - CHILD AIRLIFTED TO HOSPITAL, SUSPECT TAKEN INTO CUSTODY

WARRENTON, MISSOURI - NOVEMBER 12, 2026

A terrifying scene unfolded inside a Missouri middle school Thursday morning after a male student allegedly attacked two fellow students and a teacher with a knife, leaving three people injured and prompting a major law enforcement response.

According to the Warrenton Police Department, the violence erupted at approximately 7:55 a.m. inside a classroom at Black Hawk Middle School, part of the Warren County R-III School District in Warrenton, Missouri.

Investigators say the student used a blade measuring approximately four to five inches to stab two students and a teacher. The circumstances surrounding what led to the attack remain under investigation.

One of the injured students suffered wounds serious enough to require emergency transport by helicopter to a children’s hospital. The injured teacher was also transported to a hospital, while the second student reportedly sustained superficial wounds.

Authorities have not publicly established the full extent of the hospitalized victims’ injuries or released their current medical conditions.

Police confirmed that the alleged attacker was taken into custody and that there was no continuing threat to the public.

Officers conducted a classroom-by-classroom clearance of the building, with police reporting that all classrooms had been cleared by approximately 10:41 a.m., nearly three hours after the reported attack.

The Warren County R-III School District subsequently announced that all schools throughout the district would dismiss early at 12:41 p.m. In addition, all Black Hawk Middle School sporting activities scheduled for Thursday were canceled.

The REAL story finally came out. And THIS is exactly why I waited before jumping on the outrage bandwagon.

Not only had these individuals pulled the same stupid prank in front of FOUR other Ring cameras before reaching this apartment, but BOTH sides have now acknowledged that they didn’t even know each other. The pranksters didn’t even know the race of the people living inside the apartment.

Now these individuals are being threatened, doxxed, and dragged across the internet. One even left the university.

Was the prank stupid? Absolutely. Does that justify what is happening to them now? NOT EVEN CLOSE.

Imagine living in a world where making monkey noises into a Ring camera can potentially land you in more trouble than k*lling your own THREE CHILDREN.

Imagine living in a world where a woman pulled a stupid prank and is forced to step away from her education, but a MURDERER who admitted to k*lling a student at a track meet is not expelled and is allowed to graduate.

The world is backwards.

Imagine living in a world where making monkey noises into a Ring camera can bring harsher consequences than taking the lives of your own three children.

This is one of the most insane videos I’ve heard in a while.

This is the attorney representing Jeanetta and Ashley Brantley. The video she created less than 24 hours ago is absolutely shocking.

First of all, she continues to disparage me and claim that I somehow participated in targeting these women. I did not. I wrote a couple of factual articles and reports. That is called journalism.

These women, even after being presented with evidence that Nolan Wells was seen on the island AFTER the Sea Tow call they manipulated and enhanced, have continued to double down and insist that their version of the audio is factual. And that audio continues to target and implicate young men in the Nolan Wells case who have not been charged with a crime.

This attorney, yes, an ACTUAL ATTORNEY, states that the audio is real and then begins creating her own narrative about what happened to Nolan. She goes so far as to imply that Nolan was murdered and that his BODY was somehow covered up using LIFE JACKETS!

She also claims that, because of my reporting, these women were receiving dozens of death threats. Yet the only alleged threat she references is connected to the doctored and fake screenshots that were submitted to the court without proper authentication!

I have actually offered this woman a copy of my own metadata. We brought it to court with us. Furthermore, in a prior video that she has since deleted, she herself acknowledged that the screenshots were fake!

Yet she continues to reference these screenshots as examples of alleged threats made by me toward these women.

And then there is something else I find almost comical.

She continues to tell people that Jeanetta Brantley has a degree in AUDIO ENGINEERING.

Wrong.

According to Jeanetta Brantley’s own publicly stated educational background, she received a bachelor’s degree in MUSIC PRODUCTION from Full Sail University, where she also earned a master’s degree in ENTERTAINMENT BUSINESS.

Those are NOT degrees in forensic audio examination OR audio engineering. A degree in music production is not the same thing as a degree specifically titled audio engineering.

Yet Jeanetta went on the witness stand, LIED, and said she had a degree in audio engineering. 

Why?

Why does her educational background suddenly need to be presented differently when her supposed expertise is being used to lend credibility to an audio recording that has been at the center of so much controversy? Do they think that by renaming what she has a degree in, it offers her more credibility? 

There is a difference between having an education in music production, having experience editing and enhancing audio, and being qualified to conduct forensic audio examinations in criminal investigations.

And to be clear, I am not questioning whether Jeanetta has experience working with audio. I am questioning why her educational credentials are being represented differently and what specialized forensic qualifications she actually possesses. She possesses NONE.

These women and their attorney continue to portray my factual reporting as some sort of coordinated campaign against them, while simultaneously continuing to promote an audio narrative that implicates young men who did NOTHING wrong.

And despite the evidence that has emerged challenging their interpretation, they refuse to back down.

Journalism is not harassment. Reporting documented facts is not a threat. And disagreeing with someone’s version of events does not make you responsible for the actions of strangers on the internet.

I am not going to apologize for scrutinizing the credentials, evidence, and public statements of people who have inserted themselves into a case involving the tragic death of a young man. You wanted this attention, you got it. You blame me for your reputation being ruined? No. Blame yourself. 

These continued statements and representations are going to come back to haunt them, particularly as the civil litigation proceeds.
