THE DEVIL IS A LIE! Michigan State Coach MEL TUCKER slams “SHAM” sexual harassment investigation after gang-rape survivor, BRENDA TRACY, alleged $9m-a-year coach “MASTURBATED ON A PHONE CALL WITHOUT HER CONSENT”
Daniel Whyte III, President of Gospel Light Society International, says while gang-rape victim Brenda Tracy should receive extra sympathy because of what she went through at the hands of football players. Twenty years ago, this strange charge of a man “masturbating on a phone with a woman without her consent” would not have been taken seriously and there would not be an investigation regarding this. With that said, in light of the unique problems Michigan State has faced in this area of sexual harassment and sexual abuse, including the Larry Nassar disaster, Mel Tucker, if he wants to keep his job, should humble himself, understand that this is happening not because of him but because of the history of Michigan State and the new age of WOKEISM. Tucker should make sure this hurt young woman is “reasonably” taken care of financially, apologize for offending this hurt young woman, and what Brenda Tracy needs to do is forgive Mel Tucker and the University also needs to forgive Mel Tucker and let the coach continue on as head coach. Going forward, all parties need to keep their mouths shut about the matter for the rest of their lives. This is the best solution to this strange, sad, and unfortunate matter. A long drawn-out lawsuit trial battle is not going to help Mel Tucker, Brenda Tracy, or the University.
- Suspended Mel Tucker released lengthy statement through lawyer on Monday
- And he came out fighting against allegations made by a rape survivor
Suspended Michigan State head coach Mel Tucker released a lengthy statement through his lawyer Monday afternoon defending himself against allegations that he sexually harassed a rape survivor.
Tucker said he and Brenda Tracy had ‘an entirely mutual, private event between two adults living at opposite ends of the country’ and said the investigation contained ‘an ulterior motive designed to terminate my contract.’
Tucker was suspended without pay on Sunday amid a months-long investigation into Tucker’s conduct with Tracy, who told USA Today that the coach crossed the line during an April 28, 2022 telephone call.
Tucker said he helped bring Tracy, a prominent activist for sexual misconduct prevention, to campus in 2021 and they developed a friendship that grew intimate over time. Tucker said he was estranged from his wife ‘for a long time’ by that point.
‘Even the investigator hired by the University found that we had a `personal relationship’ and that we shared `deeply personal and private information with each other,’ ‘ Tucker said. ‘Ms. Tracy encouraged our personal relationship by inviting and accepting gifts from me. During the investigation, Ms. Tracy admitted requesting and accepting my gift of expensive athletic shoes, a $200 Venmo payment and a personal contribution to her non-profit.’
Tucker confirmed he had a ‘late-night intimate conversation’ with Tracy in April 2022. While he said it was mutual and Tracy initiated the call, Tracy contends that Tucker ‘made sexual comments about her and masturbated’ during that call and she had not consented.
‘She initiated the discussion that night, sent me a provocative picture of the two of us together, suggested what she may look like without clothes, and never once during the 36 minutes did she object in any manner, much less hang up the phone,’ Tucker claimed.
Now Tucker is subject to a hearing Oct. 5 and 6 to decide whether he violated school policy about sexual harassment, which the coach has criticized as being designed for student infractions only.
‘The sham `hearing’ scheduled for October 5-6 is ridiculously flawed and not designed to arrive at the truth,’ Tucker claimed, saying that neither Tracy nor her witnesses are required to testify under oath and his side cannot present evidence of his innocence.
Tucker said he had been ‘ripped from the team that I love, without any meaningful opportunity to tell my side of the story other than this press release.’
Tucker is one of the highest-paid coaches in college football, signing a 10-year, $95 million contract before the 2022 season. The contract is fully guaranteed if the school fires Tucker for performance.
