this is the ONLY TIME i will ever open up about this since i'm not the one to insert myself in drama unless it's something i've personally experienced. i, too, was sexually assaulted by soju/antonio and it took me a long time to realize and come to terms with that. https://t.co/BigCmWzkyZ

(if you view Micah's thread he mentions that he was also a minor at the time)

Thanks for sharing, from one Kev to another. When I was 16 before Tony was on S11, I had followed him after being a fan of Shot w Soju, and after sometime, he followed me back and started immediately messaging me creepy shit. Even after knowing I was 16 from my IG and me (1/4) https://t.co/1anJJBIcdY pic.twitter.com/Sp1FWQd1yH
