The friend of a student of the University of Mississippi in the center of a viral internet rumor on Thursday.

Evan Solis joined his girlfriend Mary Kate Cornett to decrypt the criminal allegations in which she claimed that she slept with his father.

“The incredible rumors about my family and Mary Kates are unacceptable and have to be addressed,” he wrote in an Instagram post. “The allegations are clearly wrong. My belief in my father and our relationship is also steadfast. He is completely innocent and is slandered unfairly without the opportunity to speak in his own name before these terribly wrong statements. “

“Please know that the spread of outrageous accusations regardless of the correctness is as indispensable as the rumor itself. What we say and believe have real consequences for others. I pray, we can use this painful moment to learn and grow in the future. “

Cornett expressly called out the ESPN personality Pat McAfee, the former NFL player Antonio Brown and Barstool Sports because they have strengthened the “complete and complete lies”, and wrote her father in a statement on Facebook.

ESPN declined a comment on the post, while the CEO of Barstool Sports, Dave Portnoy, denied his company to spread the rumor.

“Barstool Sports mentioned or spread this rumor in one of our channels in barstool, as far as I know,” said Portnoy in an explanation of the post. “Our editors instinctively decided to avoid this story, as there was apparently a high probability that it could have been invented. When I'm wrong about it, I am glad to see where it was posted and repeated. “

On a Gofundme page, Cornett wrote that she was a “victim of a deliberate and coordinated cyber attack” and that she had hired legal representation and forensic data investigators to examine the matter.

In an Instagram post on Thursday evening, Cornett described the rumor as “100% completely wrong and frankly it is indispensable that such disruptive allegations became viral.”

“In this difficult time, my family and I were overwhelmed by people across the country with the support of people. Thank you, it was important! I particularly appreciate the support of those who know me well enough to know how ridiculous it is, ”wrote Cornett.

“It is important to note that nuisance and bullying of this kind are never okay. Cyber ​​attacks based on nothing but lies and misinformation occur too often. This experience gave me the dangers of how we can all be manipulated in order to believe things that we read on social media that are not true. I hope that I can use the heartache and pain that I felt to help others go through such things in the future. “
