Rest in peace John Coughlin.
I think John Coughlin was the first pairs skater I remember to do 3 jump combo in the routine.
MeToo has gone way too far. The mob won't be happy until men act like eunuchs and humandkind goes extinct.
Thanks Ashley for drinking underage without parent consent and then playing victim for being in a grown ups party like for real wtf by 12-13 all kids know sex Ed, get real
John Coughlin and Bridget Namiotka belonged to The University of Delaware Figure Skating Club at the time.
The police should investigate this club.
STOP ASSUMING/ACCUSING innocent people of biased information!!!
So a fairy 🧚♂️ killed himself
In this climate, any bitch can ruin any man's life. Disgusting.
Suicide doesn't end the chances of life getting worse, it eliminates the possibility of it , ever getting any better.
Reading the comments here. Did it ever occur to anyone that he might have been guilty and he committed suicide because he knew he had been found out? It is a possibility.
So a allegation is a allegation unless your Brett Kavanaugh.
Man white don't handle pressure well at all … they gonna kill themself or somebody or everybody else … minorities use to dealing with white folks crap and always being accused of stuff .. that's why your kids are safe in black schools
5 children killed themselves in KY, ask Mitch McConnell why?or,I dare you,to come to Lexington and do a story on children and suicides, 22 vets a day,those are the same,just do a segment EVERY day about this,sorry,about the skater,but,some 5 children in Mitch McConnell land,this yr are dead.
WOW! From Philadelphia, Pa.
An innocent person doesn’t kill himself.
Wrong move bud!
Welcome to the new era: Guilty until proven innocent.
By girls that should shut the Fook up. Where's Mom and Dad. I'm sick of females that complain.
If he wasn't guilty he should have fought back.
He was 33 and sacrificed.
All the reporters at the table: "How tragic."
I give it about 5 years until we hear that, like almost every other man that has been accused of sexual assaults, all the allegations against him end up being false. But of course, he is a man and God forbid we dismiss an allegation such as this. The gentleman ended his life and his career will forever be smeared and damage by this accusation. RIP and may God bless him.
"So sad"? Three different cases. Guilty as hell.
For some, a suspension based on an allegation, even if unfounded will destroy a person's career even if the allegation is proven to be false days, weeks months years down the road. His suicide wasn't an admission of guilt, he was helpless to prove the allegation wasn't true publicly, and took the only route he felt available, and final. The country lost a great athlete, truly sad………
They killed him
This is why we shouldn’t believe any #MeToo accusers.
The modern day witch hunt.
suspended isnt fired..everyone is suspended if their is an accusation…cops, teachers, coaches, doctors,etc…cops who kill are suspended until proven innocent
Because of #believeallwomen , he was already guilty. So he made the right call.
I wonder about the people who are so quick to defend someone they don’t even know against these type of accusations. Maybe that speaks to their character/behaviour. I’m not saying he’s guilty or innocent. I just think wether you condemn or defend, you’re still as big a piece of shit. STFU!
He knows it was true 🤷🏽♀️
The is disgusting about today society and media. In the old days journalist dont just put out news without a bit of evidence to prove their allegations. Sad but it true today societies are driven by profit and forget the honor and dignity of another person who would be innocent after all. THE HYPOCRISY OF THIS ANCHORS SAYING SAD, YOU SHOULD TELL THAT TO YOUR COLLEAGUES
Not sure they should be commenting ‘so sad’ at the end.
