All members of my rookie class were told by our veteran teammates we had to come to an initiation at CTA (the Allstar location off campus where we practiced). The veterans made us dress in all black and paint our faces; certain members wore ski masks as they did not have face paint. My rookie teammates, including a few who also happened to be people of color, were asked to do this, and we complied with the request as we did not want to get in trouble with said veterans.”

She additionally included “pictures and videos of some of my other rookie teammates who followed the same instructions,” including:
“I am sorry I need to pull my teammates into this, but I have no choice but to speak the truth about this situation since the lie has been spread across social media.”
The 25-year-old athlete later mentioned she didn’t refuse to take part on the time as a result of she “never even heard of blackface and had no idea it was even a thing.” Um… being uneducated just isn’t an excuse for what occurred in any respect. But mainly, she refused to apologize, admit she f**ked up, and dealt with your complete state of affairs poorly. So enter La’Darius, who referred to as out Gabi for blaming everybody else – particularly folks of coloration:
“No, what we won’t do is throw the ‘other people of color’ under the bus. The rest of the minority’s spoke out against this, I personally talked to you and said that it was not a good idea. So no we didn’t all feel the same, I forgave you for it but don’t sit on here and LIE.”
When a fan requested if he was nonetheless pals with Gabi two days after clapping again, he responded:
“Yes, on my end. I always loved her but I have always told my friends the business when they were wrong. Right is right, wrong is wrong.”
Well, that appears to have modified as a result of he went OFF whereas answering some fan questions concerning the state of affairs on TikTok this week – and likewise made some stunning revelations about Gabi. When one individual requested if he was supporting the cheerleader’s statements on the controversy, La’Darius claimed he was executed backing her and claimed he solely supported her as a result of the 2 have been exes! What?! He defined:
“I’ve been backing this bitch since we first started cheerleading when I was at Navarro. I’m tired. I’m no longer backing her. The only reason I was backing her is because we were sleeping together. That’s the only reason we dealt with each other, is because we were with each other. This girl literally slept in my dorm every single day when we were at Navarro.”

So I’m not going to let somebody tear me down and try to get to me because I am a light in this world and you’re darkness.”
