Tyrus’ Controversial Comments Unveiled
Tyrus addressed the situation defending Gaines, saying, “The comment to say she sucked, right? She did fight a trained man in a swimming pool to a draw, and he had her by weight, muscle, and length. That’s pretty [censored] impressive. Let’s not forget that.”

Spreading Fear and Hate
