I want to take a moment to address something important.

There have been serious accusations made about my longtime friend Daryl. I’ve spoken with him directly and reviewed information he shared with me. Based on what I personally know and our 25 years of friendship, I believe the claims being spread are false.

I’m not interested in participating in online attacks or drama. Situations like this should be handled properly and responsibly, not through social media speculation.

I care about truth, fairness, and treating people with respect. I’m choosing to stand by my friend while also stepping away from negativity surrounding this situation.

For now, my focus is returning to my creative work and continuing forward in a positive direction.
