[Otis Crump]

As a journalist, I would never rely on Google! If there's any actual proof of these entirely unsubstantiated claims, I'm absolutely open to seeing it.

Ok, Phil. You can stop hiding now.

In all seriousness, no, I wouldn't expect a journalist to write a story based on what they found on Google... but if they did find inflammatory claims about the subject, I would expect them to ask around and try to find out whether or not they are true.

It doesn't, though. It demonstrably doesn't. Things haven't been easy for Phillip due to his brother's court case, things haven't been easy for Holly because she's had shingles. Absolutely nothing to suggest problems with their relationship. That's just a bogus tabloid extrapolation for clicks.

You don't know that. None of us do. The fact that he's put out a statement in the first place says a lot, I think. Surely if it really were all sunshine and lollipops on planet Schofield, he wouldn't have responded to any such tabloid stories?

If I was having lies published about me, I would feel compelled to correct the record publicly.
