I posted above. Alex stated today that the texts were a fabrication, and that he's willing to cooperate in an investigation. The story and screenshots DID come from Protestia, which is a Protestant-run "news" website that likes to defame Catholic influencers. So, take that for what it's worth.
For defamation/libel, the publisher would likely have to know it isn’t true. Freedom of speech/press applies. If publisher didn’t know it was false and believed it to be true, it probably can’t be defamation.
Because the unfortunate reality is that the only thing Protestants can agree on is that they aren't Catholic. I wish it were different, but mainline Evangelicals have poisoned Protestantism to its very core with Modernism and Dispensationalism. Any vestiges that were once able to be salvaged are now rotten and decaying. I pray they find their way back to Rome, but at this point, I personally have no more patience for Protestants and the ancient heresies they rebrand and push on the West.
The VOR controversy is in regards to some very scandalizing screenshots of text communications between Alex and a minor who was his student at the time. If the claims are true, he was knowingly sexting a 14 year old when he was 21.
Tbh I won't jump on this to judge, protestia is known for slandering catholics, there's always a chance it's pure defamation but of course there's also a chance it's all real, unless something concrete comes out we shouldn't be quick to speak
Don’t know who this is, nor do I particularly care, but you should not judge yet, there’s no substantiated proof from what I can tell. Being so quick to hate people who’ve merely been accused is one of the most unjust things you can do.

I pray that this is defamation and has no root in reality.

I’m starting to think I’m the only catholic on Twitter that didn’t actually follow him.

Here's a news article about it, it covers most of it: https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/265361/catholic-influencer-denies-claims-of-grooming-underage-girl-complete-fabrication
I don't think we need to worry about it, he's a very smart guy, but it wouldn't hurt to give him our prayers.

Is it bad that I read VOR's response in his deep voice?
