“Taking anabolic steroids at 12 years old is a small thing, hahahaha, these kinds of people do and have done much worse. The kings of humility and Christianity are nothing more than the worst kind of scoundrels. I was sued for speaking the truth, and the funniest thing is, my witness was threatened with death and had to remove their name from the case, and I have the audio too. Tomorrow they'll release a proverb and life goes on, game over,” said Nicholas Meregali.
