The gag order lifted. And the mask came off with it.
After sentencing, Austin Metcalf’s father Jeff Metcalf went live on TikTok and was caught on a racist rant about Karmelo Anthony, including calling him a “watermelon felon,” saying Black people get “all the free sh*t we give you,” claiming “400 years ago someone sold you to us,” and attacking Black fathers for not being involved in their children’s lives.
This is the same man who stood in that courtroom and said “this was never about race.”
The prosecution struck every qualified Black juror from the panel. A gag order silenced public response for nearly a year. And the moment the muzzle came off, this is who he showed us he was.
Karmelo Anthony did not get a fair trial. And now the victim’s own father has confirmed in his own words what this community has known from the beginning.

@NITESHS9067448@CalltoActivism When you cost tax payers who knows how much to shut down midtown and small businesses around lose out on customers due to locked foot traffic it is a big deal
Walk with me cuz I’m long winded here:
I can assure you that Marshall is 10x more Hip Hop than Aubrey will ever be. Marshall comes from the trenches in Detroit. He started in battle rap. He came up on Lyricists Lounge (most y’all got no clue what that is)—Em embodies Hip Hop and he has since he came in this joint. His Hip Hop genetic engineering makeup is just different than Drakes.
When detractors speak on Em not being Hip Hop, they speak on him being white—that’s about it.
When detractors speak on Aubrey not being Hip Hop, they speak on him being half white. JuuWiishh. Canadian. From privilege. He’s a suburban kid. Started as an actor on a Canadian teen sitcom. He makes alotta Pop records.
This isn’t my personal opinion, but the list of reasons why ppl speak against Aubrey’s Hip Hop card, that list is as long as a CVS receipt.
When they question Marshall’s Hip Hop card, it begins and ends with “he’s white”.
@Manlike_Solz@Eminem@Drake It seems like Drake purposefully tries to spurn everyone in the industry by trying to fuck their women. Em is a recluse when he’s not rapping lmao
Drawing an equivalence between dating a 19 year old and an allegation of physical abuse is…a choice.
And Newsom’s affair was a HUGE story in CA at the time. Are you saying Platner’s being treated unfairly because the media isn’t still covering Newsom’s affair 20 yrs later?
Oh cool, I see we casually have an "enemies of the administration" list for people in the media now, hosted using my taxpayer money on the White House website.
Looking forward to all of the libertarian and "free speech" types to take a strong position on this!
@dpakman, @EdKrassen and @briantylercohen are the first three listed.
Very clear double standard at play with Platner reporting because he is anti-zionist and anti-oligarch. For example, Newsom dated a 19 year old when he was 39 and slept with his best friend’s wife but for some reason this isn’t the subject of breathless exposes. Reporters aren’t banging down the door of all Newsom’s ex’s to dig for more dirt. It’s not considered potentially disqualifying or really considered at all.
