    This sounds great. It really does. But people are saying I kept money that I raised for Cyntoia Brown WHEN I NEVER EVEN RAISED MONEY FOR CYNTOIA BROWN. I did not start, manage, advise, or have ANYTHING to do with a fundraiser for Cyntoia Brown. Period. Nothing/https://twitter.com/_afrodiziak/status/1085627022406225921 …

    Jill Cartwright @_afrodiziak
    FACT: Shaun King has been accused of misappropriating funds that were donated for social justice. FACT: Shaun King denies these claims and is suing Black women who question him. So @shaunking, why require proof that they’re lying instead of just providing proof that you aren’t?

        How do u prove a negative? How does one go about proving they never setup a GoFundMe they stole? Can’t exactly provide a GoFundMe account and show the funds if u never had one. Burden of proof matters. If u make a claim support the claim🤷🏽‍♀️

        This young lady accused you of doing harm & stealing but now you’re the bad guy because you want to protect your name & standing in the community. These folks need to understand that actions have consequences & you can’t accuse someone of a crime then when challenged, say my bad

        She raised a concern that has been raised about him in the past. Also, Shaun actively acknowledges that the criminal justice system is anti-black, so why use that same system against a black woman

        This isn’t about black women. She’s not the only one who received that letter this is about his brand and he told everyone that it was coming before it happened.

        Can u elaborate? I’m not a loyalist so I’m not clear on what bad brand building he did? I have issues with some of his conclusion jumps but I never heard arguments on how he built his name? This is a genuine request not snark just to be clear

        People feel free to chime in but much of Shaun's clout came from years of successfully raising funds for black people/families harmed by injustice. He was accused of stealing that money in the past by the same white supremacists that attack him daily.

        So am I, but I have perpetuated unsubstantiated and false rumors about Shaun that were started by racists. She could have made the same mistake.

        I have no dog in this fight (yet); however, wouldn't it be unethical to post the receipts online (things that contain personal information)? I would think most of that would be blacked out anyway. I'm not understanding how he could post such proof online (I'm also no law buff).

        Yeah but he's saying that he didn't raise any money, meaning there are no receipts to provide.

        If no one has given proof you’ve done anything wrong, then maybe just challenge them to produce it. If they don’t you’ll have won.
