Influencer and television personality Tuson Jewell of the Impact Atalanta fame has started a GoFundMe to raise $20,000 to fund the purchase of a car following a ‘betrayal’ by Ari Fletcher.
Tuson claims this drastic step has been necessitated by the failure of Ari Fletcher, the star of the BET reality show, to fulfil a pledge of gifting him, her ‘bestie’, the amount despite being filmed receiving the $20k check for his birthday.
Recollect that Jewell received a very public gesture of love and support from bestie Ari for his birthday and it was all filmed. He was presented with a check for $20,000 and was overcome by emotion over the gift, thanking Fletcher from the bottom of his heart.
According to him, after the cameras stopped rolling he has yet to see a cent of that amount. He said the check he was presented was a dud and when he messaged Ari about the amount, she replied that ‘she has a disclaimer’.
Jewell said following that enquiry he received a call that he would be given only $10,000 but that Ari did not tell him the truth before filming because they wanted a bigger reaction out of him for the cameras.
Tuson Jewell says up till now he has received zero dollars from the promised amount, leading him to start a GoFundMe to raise the money because he needs it for a down payment on a car.
“I never thought I’d be in this position, but I’m reaching out for help after a heartbreaking betrayal. My “best friend” promised me $20,000 for a down payment on a car as a birthday gift. Trusting her completely, I went ahead with the start of the car purchase, only to have her not give me anything,” he wrote on his GoFundMe.
The GoFundMe post was shared on Instagram by the Shade Room and generated some interesting reactions.
