Stuttering John Accuses Anthony Cumia of Slander Over Las Vegas and DUI Claims
"He literally went on the Shuli network... and accused me of a woman in Las Vegas... and he also said he knows as a fact I drive drunk." — John Melendez
Stuttering John is drawing a line in the sand regarding recent accusations broadcast on the Shuli Network. John claims that Anthony Cumia went on The Uncle Rico Show to spread "ridiculous accusations" that John was involved with a woman in Las Vegas and that he is a chronic drunk driver. John adamantly denied these claims, noting he has never even been arrested for a DUI and that there is "no proof" of such behavior. The beef has escalated far beyond simple podcast banter, touching on deep personal territory. John feels betrayed because of their past closeness, but the ultimate breaking point was Anthony's alleged attacks on John's family. Keanu Thompson recalled that her first meeting with John years ago was centered around a video Anthony made "where he just completely like bashed and just destroyed like John's kids for being trans." This historical grievance continues to fuel John's refusal to "bury" the hatchet. During the discussion, John challenged Keanu to imagine if someone had made up similar lies about her husband, Gino Bisconte. "I know as a fact that Gino is always driving drunk... how would you and Gino react to that?" John asked. Keanu responded that she would "trash the crap out of them on stage" in retaliation. John also mentioned a separate rumor involving "Vietnamese prostitutes" in Atlantic City, which Anthony allegedly "follows up with" to further damage John's reputation. While Anthony's camp seems to view these jabs as fair game for the Dabbleverse "show," John clearly views them as a "gross overreaction" and a betrayal of a former friend. The situation is further complicated by Missy's (Anthony's girlfriend) recent involvement, as John referenced her "Nazi posts" and her appearances on WATP to mock him. For now, the "slander" remains a core driver of the ongoing hostilities, with John claiming Anthony "decided to go after my family which is crazy."
