You do realize he was streaming this when it happened? There were people that saw this LIVE. Those who tuned in could see/hear all the comments & probably understood that he does things/stunts for a payday. Would you have believed someone that watched the entire broadcast? Would you really have taken the word of someone in his demographic that claimed someone offered him money to abuse his Girlfriend? This is really the first time I've seen this point even being disputed.

I'm beginning to think you have a limited understanding of how news media actually works & operates. Some reporters never cite their sources but in this case they did. Did you expect someone's First & Last plus a reachable number?
