“Ronnie and I are fine,” she began. “There is a lot of misleading information floating around out there. With anybody who reached out with concern I appreciate it with all my heart, but everything that’s being portrayed out there are not facts.”
“I don’t think it’s fair that people are using false accusations to gain attention,” she continued. “Please leave Ron and I alone. You don’t know what someone is going through at the end of the day.”
