Carrot Top Man Allegedly Attempting to Extort Comedian Speaks Out Claims No Responsibility for His Suicide Attempt
Published
The individual whom Carrot Top‘s legal representatives accuse of attempting to extort the comedian with an explicit video is now sharing his side of the story. He asserts that he never threatened to disclose the footage prior to his suicide attempt.
In light of the legal filing made on September 3, Brian Evans informed TMZ that the USB drive mentioned in the lawsuit has already been erased.
Brian stated to TMZ, “I have never threatened to release any video as a condition for a settlement. The video they reference was deleted a long time ago as part of a previous settlement agreement.”
Brian expressed his thoughts regarding Carrot Top, whose real name is Scott Thompson, stating he felt “sorry that Scott evidently did something that caused him distress.”
He continued, “I don’t view Scott as a bad person based on what I know, but he has made a few poor choices. That shouldn’t lead him to hurt himself.”
He added, “Ultimately, I am not responsible for Scott’s actions. We are not even fully aware of what he experienced. It is a relief that he survived, and I am pleased about that. Scott is still young and has a promising future ahead of him. My intention is not to undermine him but rather to support him.”
Earlier reports indicate that the attorney representing the 61-year-old comedian asserted that Brian threatened to submit the alleged recording to the court unless Carrot Top’s legal team agreed to a $500,000 settlement.
Currently, Carrot Top is hospitalized following his recent suicide attempt that occurred last Friday.
