Our read of the evidence
Mostly unverified. The story relies on two timeline events, each derived solely from reports and lacking any primary source confirmation. Since the reports originate from two different outlets and no direct verification exists, the evidence remains mostly unverified.
Our rating counts evidence, not opinions about anyone: events confirmed by a primary source (the person's own post, their official site, a court or government record) weigh most, then how many independent outlets report the story.
