Let me tell you all the Black women you don’t speak for… You don’t speak for the Black women who sweetly pressed money in his at church when he was a broke college preacher.

Let me tell you all the Black women you don’t speak for… You don’t speak for the countless Black women who welcomed Shaun into their homes as a kid and loved him and fed him just as they did their own sons.

Let me tell you all the Black women you don’t speak for… You don’t speak for the Black women @SpelmanCollege who knew Shaun as a kind and compassionate Student Government President @Morehouse and never once had a reason to question his integrity - even giving him awards.

Let me tell you all the Black women you don’t speak for… The mother of Botham Jean The mother of Amadou Diallo The mother of Eric Garner The mother of Philando Castile These Black mothers love Shaun and Shaun fights for them with all his heart and soul.

Let me tell you all the Black women you don’t speak for… The mother of Trayvon Martin The mother of Da'Quan Huey The mother of Mike Brown The mother of Bianca Roberson The mother of DeAndre Harris The mother of Monroe Bird Shaun has fought for them endlessly for years.

Let me tell you all the Black women you don’t speak for… You don't speak for the daughters of Malcolm X & Dr. Betty Shabazz, who honored Shaun this past year for loving and fighting for their family and their legacy and speaking truth to power.

Let me tell you all the Black women you don’t speak for… You don’t speak for the brilliant Black woman who gave Shaun an award two nights ago. You don’t speak for the Black (yes she’s Black) woman who defended Shaun on the red carpet of said awards. And then on Instagram.

You don’t speak for the thousands of Black women who send encouraging messages of love & support our way every day. You pretend like you’re some great defender of Black women, yet you spend every moment of your day working to destroy this Black woman’s family. YOU are the fraud!

You don't speak for the Black women, for the Black mothers and daughters, who stop Shaun in the street everywhere we go, every single day, sometimes in tears, because they see him as their fearless defender and the defender of their sons, brothers, and husbands.

It's so easy to say "don't give it attention" when it's not you. I've spent years not giving it attention and just watched as my life morphed into something I don't recognize. I am now stopped on the street even when I'm not with Shaun. It's not some Twitter beef for me.

I want these words to be a record of my position.

You are literally obsessed with my husband! Seriously, how do you have so much time on your hands??? I bet if you spent half the time actually helping people as you do trying to make the case that my husband hurts people, I think we’d have won this fight for justice by now!

You clearly live and die by twitter. Get a life! And not one built on the platform of maligning people you’ve never even met before.

You X%$^A*&!#&S have mastered inuendo. I never read one tweet or post from any of you until today and I’m shocked at the nothingness of it all. I thought there must be something compelling to get people riled up the way I’m told they are. It's a nothing burger.

Who is it that you’re supposedly protecting from my husband? Is it the Black woman (my Spelman sister) who accused Shaun of stealing money from Cyntoia Brown when he never raised money for her? Is it that Black woman you’re protecting? Because she chased a big dog and got bit?

Does being Black & queer mean you don’t have to answer for your lies? So now Shaun hates & harms queer people because he defends himself against attacks regardless of who they come from? Are you serious?

So now Shaun hates & harms queer people because he defends himself against attacks regardless of who they come from? Are you serious? He’s proudly raising and loving a Black, queer daughter! But you don’t actually know us, so you wouldn’t actually know that.

Shaun threatens Black women who post complete fabrications about him with lawsuits??? As he fucking should! He has a responsibility to protect the reputation that helps to put food on his children’s table. It would be negligent of him not to.

I don’t care who you are. If you tell complete and utter lies about Shaun or our family that cause real harm to our ability to make an honest living, then you should be sued. Period.

You have an agenda and that agenda has served you well. So now you literally need these things to be true about him. You’ve staked so much of your platform and reputation on your unnatural obsession of and hate for my husband.... I've never seen anything like it.

You’ve staked so much of your platform and reputation on your unnatural obsession of and hate for my husband that you’ve got nothing left when your baseless accusations are proven untrue. You need them to be true so badly or else YOU are a fraud.

And I’m sure you’ll say this isn’t the case. That you were somebody before you jumped on the hate Shaun bandwagon and that you’ve got business other than disparaging my good name. But at this point Imma need you to prove it. Do something good in the world and show me.

You’re talking to disgruntled former @TheNorthStar now? I don’t know a person alive who wouldn’t be disgruntled if their position was eliminated. . Being an entrepreneur is hard. It’s a lot of trial and error. Mostly error, but listen..

But just so we’re clear, thanks to the THREE BLACK WOMEN now running @TheNorthStar, the company is in the healthiest position it’s ever been in. Did you even know that THREE BLACK WOMEN run @TheNorthStar? August was the healthiest month the company has had since it launched.

Shaun has many flaws. He is well aware of this. I am brutally honest with Shaun. He thinks every idea he has is a good one. He can be selfish in his personal life because of how giving he is in his public one. He lets me carry too much of the burden of raising this family.

Shaun so badly wants to make the world a better place that he used to start projects he could never actually have the capacity to manage -adding to my strain. He now hires teams to do what he can't. He can be mentally absent at home because of the weight of the work he does.

Our marriage has struggled under the weight of the work Shaun does. I find myself reading old accounts of wives in the Civil Rights Movement - trying to understand how they bore it all. It feels so unbearable sometimes.

So when you ask why Shaun hasn’t answered this accusation or resolved this question, it’s because he has a wife at home that is calling him to task about the amount of time he spends on bullshit. It’s because he has a business to run, and articles to write, 5 children to raise..

So when you ask why Shaun hasn’t answered this accusation or resolved this question, it's because he has victims to support, a book to edit, a phone call to take, a child to pickup, a doctor’s appointment not to miss....

So when you ask why Shaun hasn’t answered this accusation or resolved this question, it's because he has a school conference to attend, a meal to eat, a candidate to push for, a birthday present to buy, a recital to watch, and the occasional award to accept!
