“Silence = over” Zach Smith unleashes on Twitter
Zach Smith has remained fairly quiet throughout the domestic abuse allegations, the termination, and the Ohio State investigation into Urban Meyer’s knowledge and handling of the allegations.
Until last night.
The former OSU assistant coach took to twitter to spout off his ill feelings towards Ohio State (“botched the investigation”), Brett Murphy (who originally broke the story on Facebook), and several others ,including a gang rape survivor, in a string of aggressive tweets.
Let’s dive right in.
Silence = over. I tried. But I cant watch 🤡 like @Brett_McMurphy @finebaum & others at @espn continue 2 run their mouths-not only w/o knowledge but w/ complete disregard 4 my children. Their mother had plenty of disregard 4 them in this. Time 4 u all 2 face the damage ur causing

Hey @Brett_McMurphy – Ready to start being a real journalist? Ya know… vetting a story?

Hey @Brett_McMurphy @finebaum & EVERYONE @espn – Look at these faces. You heartless and moral-less clowns. Every LIE or dramatic version of the truth you report, you hurt THESE precious children! Just like their mom has and continues to. Do you have families? Kids? pic.twitter.com/9XyIhKrGzx

Not a shield. A reminder to scum like you that your reckless & complete disregard for human beings hurts innocent children. Sorry you viewed it as a shield-but that further proves your ignorance given to you by a laminated piece of cardboard hung around your neck by a lanyard. https://t.co/OyDR8PX42z

Hey @Brett_McMurphy – quick few questions… because you’re an OUTSTANDING “journalist”
1. How’d you get that interview with @CoachTomHerman as your first interview at @WatchStadium?
2. How come you didn’t ask him about the alleged strip club incident that you reported about?
— Zach Smith (@CoachZachSmith) August 29, 2018
Furthermore… @Brett_McMurphy
3. Did you ask him about the ensuing few days?
4. Have you vetted any credibility in ANY of your reports?
I am waiting for one thing that is accurate beyond a name change or photoshop session. I will see you in court you clown.

Let’s talk FACTS since so many people (mainly opposing fanbase’s fans) want to talk.
1. My kids are suffering because of all of this (most important)
2. I never beat my wife
3. OSU botched the investigation and worse off the “punishment”— Zach Smith (@CoachZachSmith) August 29, 2018
4. They forced @OSUCoachMeyer into his statement, I hope at least… because he knows what’s real and would have never apologized.
5. President Drake is either the cause of the joke of an “investigation” or “punishment” or he allowed it.— Zach Smith (@CoachZachSmith) August 29, 2018
Let’s talk about who was LEGITIMATELY hurt in this:
1. My children
2. The Buckeye Players
3. Ohio State Staff
4. The fansTalk about victim shaming! But nobody wants the TRUTH when it comes to stuff like this-Hypocritical people-keep tweeting-you’re hurting innocent people.

And that’s the point of my tweets. People like you need to just “log off” and “not hit send” with hurtful tweets that you have no knowledge about being based on fact or vengeance. Take you’re own advice, Chris. https://t.co/zZfjtzZK3k

It is very hard to be silent when falsehoods & half-truths are said about you and there is no way to defend yourself. I’ve made mistakes in my life but being a domestic abuser is not one of them! I’ll answer every question in court and under oath when the time comes & cant WAIT!

It already got ugly. Ask my kids. Straight scumbag. https://t.co/81XwCIelth

Oh am I? Brenda… I’ve been a huge supporter of everything you’ve ever done. And so sympathetic to what happened to you. But if you can’t see that things aren’t always black and white, or that there is NEVER a false accusation… you’re really working on your own agenda. https://t.co/yaTviV603J

Lol wow… you just proved you’re a one sided clown. THEY GOT USED WHEN THEY HAD TO GO TO SCHOOL AND DEAL WITH FALSE ACCUSATIONS AGAIBST THEIR DAD!!!!! Please stop tweeting at me. I used to be a huge fan and supporter… but you just proved you’re not a truth seeker… https://t.co/n7FNz0i99t

Zach Smith calling gang-rape survivor Brenda Tracy a “one-sided clown” is a sad moment on a sad timeline. https://t.co/1ThTJ1Jdx4
