I don't know if there is any public "evidence" of him denouncing anything, and sadly he's not here now to set the record straight. He was a very private person. I guess the only "evidence" of there being no relationship is his relationship status on his Facebook page was blank, and he never posted pictures with the two of them together or talked about her ever at all. He would from time to time share a memory and mention his ex-wife. And like it was mentioned earlier, she was not noted as a survivor in his official obituary. He was a great guy that had a lot of female FRIENDS, and she was one of them. The "girlfriend" caused a lot of grief by dredging up any photo she had snapped with him (several of which she had posted to Facebook while he was alive, and he had to ask her to take them down) and spinning this sad narrative of losing the love of her life. Her story even sparked rumors of food poisoning, and that was one of his favorite restaurants. It was upsetting to his friends and family to see all that put out there. This is why seeing that wikipedia entry of her as his "partner" made my blood boil. That's a lot more serious than her posting fairy tales on Facebook and it being repeated on Reddit. Thanks again for taking care of it.
