Jordan Devlin breaks silence on allegations made by his ex-girlfriend
Jordan Devlin has finally broken his silence regarding the abuse allegations made against him by his ex-girlfriend, Hannah Francesca.
Devlin said that the allegations are entirely false and untrue and they have been levelled against him with the malicious personal agenda of maligning his name.
The NXT UK Superstar concluded by stating that he is working with a legal team with regards to his next move.
Here's his complete statement:
I didn't even want to address the hurtful allegation made against me, but for the sake of my followers and friends on this platform that may for whatever reason be unsure, I'm going to address this once.
The recent allegation made against me is completely and utterly false and I deny it entirely. This is a case of a malicious personal agenda being executed against me on the back of a very brave telling of true experiences by other women. I completely denounce it.
This is all I will say on the matter, and I am now working with a legal team to help decide how to proceed from here. Jordan Devlin
