Just a heartbroken statement from an advocate:

People need to analyse situations more carefully and with due diligence.

As disappointed as I am, I am absolutely not surprised.

I will always defend myself, and I will always defend others when I believe they are being treated unfairly.

I will also continue to speak out against abuse, harassment, and harmful behaviour whenever I encounter it.

What I will not do is spend my life repeatedly proving decades of actions, advocacy, and work to people who have already decided who they think I am after a few moments, a screenshot, or a rumour.

One thing people often misunderstand about me is that I do not revisit closed doors.

When a decision has been made, I accept it and move forward.

Ironically, that is the complete opposite of the situation I currently find myself dealing with. At times, I feel as though I am drowning beneath assumptions, accusations, and narratives that bear little resemblance to reality.

I wish more people took the time to look deeper into matters before reaching conclusions, but that is ultimately their choice.

Too often, assumptions travel faster than evidence, and hostility speaks louder than facts.

Reputational harm caused by false allegations stings. It hurts. I'm only human.

However, it is not my responsibility to force people to see the truth, nor is it my responsibility to convince people not to defend behaviour I would never personally support.

If people choose to believe things that are untrue, that is their decision and I respect their right to make it. I simply wish more people communicated fairly, openly, and transparently before reaching those conclusions.

A fair investigation is always wise.

As for me, I'll continue doing what I have always done: supporting local people, amplifying local voices, advocating for disability rights, helping where I can, and keeping my head held high.

The work continues.

I used to stand alone against a world that often misunderstood me and rarely took the time to gather the facts. I stayed. I kept going. I kept helping. I kept supporting others.

That won't change now.

The difference today is that I am fortunate enough to have incredible people around me, and I am grateful for every single one of them.

Turn pain into power.
