official report and y'all know I'm a former television news reporter sports reporter so I I do my research I come correct I'm not like one of these content creators that has no news background I know where to look I trust my sources and I'm never bringing y'all fake news so we're on News 19 in Columbia South Carolina and they were reporting that a South Carolina women's basketball star has been arrested and charg following an alleged assault that happened on Saturday morning so this morning earlier today according to warrants filed by the USC police in the arrest of Ashlin Watkins the incident occurred at 650 Lincoln Street a student housing center at the University of South Carolina their warrant state that Watkins assaulted the victim by forceably grabbing her face pulling her by her arms and pushing her it's not sounding good so far y'all it's not sounding so good Ethan respect innocent until proven guilty that's why we're going to use the word alleged we're going to use the word alleged but y'all however how you feel these are some serious charges right now and y'all let me know how y'all feel in the comment so the news is reporting out of Columbia South Carolina this is news9 a respected CBF local TV station that I'm reading from the warrant states that Watkins also picked up the victim against her will and carried her it goes on to say Watkins grabbed the victim's head and forced her to walk down the hall thus controlling her movement while preventing her from leaving this sounds really bad folks I'm just saying the warrant states that the victim eventually got away and pulled a fire alarm which led to the arrival of police and fire Personnel she was treated for injuries the warrant described as not life threatening threatening jail records which still showed Watkins as detained up till 300 p.m. today indicated that Watkins was granted a $30,000 personal recognized bail she was charged with kidnapping y'all this is she is charged with kidnapping and assault I'm just saying these are major charges $30,000 bond it was confirmed that she has been released she was released from jail around 3:30 and the records are no longer listed in the public jail now we know Watkins is a junior on the women's South Carolina team she's expected to be a major contributor to South Carolina this year assault though and kidnapping it definitely sounds like a domestic dispute but these are serious charges y'all Miss jwes says they are not in trouble please stop kidnapping assault innocent until proven guilty Ethan welcome in welcome in she's going to jail she's not just gonna sit out a couple games bro assault and kidnapping I'm not saying I'm an expert of the law I'm not saying anybody else is here but when you hear the words assault and kidnapping these are serious accusations right now where are you going to talk about F from LSU Joshua I got you we'll get to it we'll get to it but this is breaking news right here this is Ashlin Watkins one of the star players for the number one team in the country who should be a first team All-American coming in like we we we gota we we gotta talk about this this is breaking news I got you though Josh I got you I got you sounds like a domestic violence situation definitely definitely sounds like a domestic dispute I'm not making any accusations I don't know for sure but this definitely sounds like a female she was dating definitely sound yep yep yep Ethan welcome in you about to see the power of Coach Don Staley this sounds trumped up straight balling welcome in we need to pray for college and WW players it's crazy right now what is going on give me y'all's feedback I will keep y all posted let me see if there are any updates let me see cuz y'all know the Twitter spirit is let me let me see if there are any updates right now Ashlin Watkins bro arrested on kidnapping and assault charges I don't know about Juju doing something wrong I haven't heard nothing about that but this right here this is Major breaking news for South Carolina this could definitely put their season in Jeopardy this could definitely put their season in jeopardy now I know people were talking about FL and her brother getting like her brother getting charged we know that much but this Ashlin Watkins situation man I mean this could be detrimental all the local news stations in Columbia South Carolina are talking about it right now this is Major news give me y'all's initial takeaway so I'm reading different reports right now just to see if there's anything different so f okay so another the Post and Courier a newspaper in Colombia is reporting that Ashlin Watkins was arrested and charged with first-degree assault and battery and kidnapping battery assault and kidnapping guys this is bad this is really bad I agree innocent and pro until proven guilty I agree this is all alleged but this is bad bro this is terrible this is awful news what can Don stainley get her out of this situation the mayor of Colombia oh I don't know who Aaliyah Watkins is but Ashlin Watkins the star for South Carolina is possibly in some big big trouble man like these are not Petty charges right here assault battery I mean this is crazy I'm let me catch up in the chat let me if that's her lover and she doesn't want to testify is not going to trial and if that's the case she'll get out on bail and they'll be back together so she's already out on bail there was a $30,000 bail she's already been let out on bail as of 330 p.m. today we know that much kidnapping just means preventing some somebody from going somewhere not how people think with gun and blindfold no I'm saying though if you're preventing someone from leaving that is terrible that is not a good look it doesn't matter if you got a gun or not bro she's 6'4 65 she's an intimidating presence Ashen Watkins does not need a gun to hold somebody hostage she does not need a weapon to hold a female hostage Ashen Watkins is an imposing figure if she doesn't want you to leave you not leaving she does not need a weapon will not put USC's season in Jeopardy have you seen the bench they are loaded hey USC is loaded Southern California is loaded ju guu is gonna be great too ohin Kik Ren we know Kaye Heckle Kennedy like they're they're loaded Kennedy Smith they're loaded we know but guys this is Major for South Carolina season they are the favorites to repeat ashlon Watkins charged with battery assault and kidnapping this is not a small like DUI drinking ticket that Coach K got his nephew to take for Paulo van Caro this is not that these are some serious charges thank you YouTube YouTube thank you kidnapping is the same charge whether you have a gun or not period period this is nuts how could you put your season in Jeopardy like this and she's a potential top WNBA draft pick as well how do you put your season in Jeopardy like this guys if you missed the update I will read the article again Ashlin Watkins wasn't that good cut it out I don't know who Ashley Watkins is Ashley might not be that good but Ashlin Watkins is the truth South Carolina course doesn't play around this is serious Mario this is Major this is Major this is nothing to play around with down south I'm from North Carolina the Bible Belt does not play they do not care who you are yo accent what in the blue moon is happening that I'm I'm I'm in the same boat Ethan welcome in I believe this is a case between Ashley and her girlfriend that went terribly wrong this will get straightened out but we've seen athletes in domestic disputes and the penalties have been serious y'all I get you but sometimes the charges sound worse than what happened especially if this is something domestic that's facts this is all alleged right now we don't have a conclusion we don't know if game will be missed we don't know if seasons will be missed we don't know if she will be dismissed from the team we don't know the repercussions what we do know is that she's been charged with assault with first-degree battery with kidnapping Juju Watkins plays for Southern California not South Carolina keus I'm gonna be honest with you because I think this is your first time in the chat my guy or my my my female I don't know I don't want to assume but we're all very well aware my chat is very knowledgeable on women's Hoops in general with every sport we all are aware that Juju Watkins plays for Southern California not South Carolina Ashlin Watkins plays the five Joyce Edwards plays the one through four this is not a Joyce Edwards replacement situation if they do not have ashon Watkins this is a major hole now you know they do have siia F who would arguably take ashon Watkin spot not Joyce Edwards they do have sakea Walker so there's death there but Ashlin Watkins was the one that was starting for Camila cardosa when she was out with Brazil this is a major loss this is not a spot Joyce Edwards would would would feel I'm sorry I'm not going to go far straight balling welcome in I'm not going to go far because she's neck deep in the sports and is a college student in her first time doesn't matter if her loves has her back she can't do anything the victim has to want to pursue it will the victim pursue it how see I know she's had a girlfriend for a while but these are serious charges when you're talking about assault battery and kidnapping it doesn't matter if a weapon is involved this is major news she could miss games she could miss the season she could be dismissed from the team allog together Ashlin Watkins there's a chance she never plays college basketball again after these accusations I think we really got to sit here and digest I'mma read the article that I read because there's a lot of people in here now that weren't here in the beginning so I'm gonna read the article again we do know Ashley Watkins average 9.2 points 7.4 rebounds one assist multiple blocks last year she she averaged 2.4 blocks last year this is one of South Carolina's key cornerstones to this roster I don't know if they are the number one team in the nation without ashy Watkins that is almost too big of a loss to overcome even for them I love siia Fagan I love daa I love their front court but guys this is Major I'mma go back so this is this report that I'm reading and I will catch up with the comments y'all keep hollering at me in the chat I will catch up with the comments but for everybody that missed my initial accent talk to him I know my [ __ ] stop playing with me y'all know I bring the goods I'mma read this article because y'all know I fact check I check my sources I'm a former News sports reporter I've worked in television I've worked in radio I've written for newspapers I really do this so just so y'all know where I'm coming from in my pedigree not that I have anything to prove but I want yall to know what y'all tuning into this is from news9 CBS This is a respected station in Columbia South Carolina reporting on the issue now before I read this and get into it for everybody just coming in make sure if this is your first time within the live of Brandon Blakey podcast comment share subscribe do all that good stuff stuff that y'all want to do if y'all rocking with me because you're not going to find anybody better I'm not going to hold you now that we're into it this is from news9 in Columbia South Carolina the report South Carolina basketball star Ashlin Watkins charged with assault and kidnapping first-degree battery as well a South Carolina women's basketball star has been arrested and charged following an alleged assault that happened on Saturday morning as of today according to warrants filed by USC police so there have already been warrants for her arrest file she was arrested she's been released but the police are all over this so what we're going to do the warrants were filed in the rest of ashl Watkins the incident occurred at 650 Lincoln Street which was an on campus apartment which brings campus police and regular police into it in South Carolina the warrant state that Watkins assaulted the victim by forcefully grabbing her face and pulling her by the arms and pushing her preventing her from leaving an area I don't care if you got a knife a gun or an RPG or just your hands if you are preventing someone from leaving somewhere that is kidnapping and the charge remains is serious as it is if she had a gun more on the article the warrant states that Watkins also picked up the victim physically picked her up and carried her it goes on to say Watkins grabbed the victim's head and forced her to walk down the hall thus controlling her movement that's the big part she controlled her movement she controlled her movement she grabbed her by the face grabbed her by the head preventing the woman from leaving and controlled her movement y'all got to pay attention to the word the verbiage the usage because this is what's going to be used in court now the the warrant says now so the latter allegation led to the additional charge of kidnapping so she was charged with kidnapping for preventing the girl from leaving from picking her up from carrying her from grabbing her by the face from grabbing her on the head from forcing her to walk in the direction that Watkins wanted her to walk into this is kidnapping this is bad the warrant states that the victim eventually got away and pulled a fire alarm the girl was so scared of Watkins that she broke away and pulled a fire alarm to alert everybody in the building to alert the fire department to alert campus security to alert the Police that she was fearing for her life more into it jail record show and this if you're just joining this is a a a report that I'm reading from news9 a CBS Affiliated station in Columbia South Carolina that is providing info and background on the event this is not my words these are not my words these are coming out of Columbia South Carolina from the news sources down there this sounds really really bad y'all I'm not GNA hold y'all this this sounds really really bad jail records which still showed Watkins at detained around 3 pm earlier this

she was cool with trans players coming to to the league to the college nothing but a liberal clown okay now that I don't agree with that Watkins will play again she may get suspended but she will play again somewhere someone Alexis Morris had DV charges at Baylor still LED LSU to a title but they weren't this serious though oh I feel you though and I'm not wishing anything bad on ashon Watkins but

conviction that can lead up to 10 years imprisonment YouTube thank you for that 10 years in prison potentially Watkins could be facing we're talking something that's bigger than basketball right now 10 years she's 22 she would be 32 by the time she got out it is a stain on the program not just Ashley facts Ethan facts it's a stain on the program the entire program this is bad James thank you so

this is your first time welcome into the live of Brandon Blakey podcast of course I am your host Brandon Blakey AKA Brandon Le TV make sure to hit that subscribe button comment like all that good stuff to stay up with all the lat y'all know I got y'all covered in every sport imaginable keus says Watkins will play again will Watkins play again is this worse than the Alexis Morris and the Britney grinder situation neither one of them had the kidnapping charge though and to me that's what separates this neither one of them had the kidnapping charge it is a stain on the program not just Ashlin coach Davy always teaches her girls to protect their brand also means the basketball program yeah this could make WNBA te she is eligible for the WNBA draft this year this could definitely make WNBA team shy away they didn't want another Britney grinder wait until Whitlock finds out he will be on Coach Staley's case he is the biggest coach daily hat hater ever nuke this is bad this is bad in all seriousness these are serious allegations keas these are major allegations I don't know what the future holds for Ashlin Watkins in another domestic violence situation as long as it's not abuse but an altercation I not judging that doesn't mean Ashley not wrong and shouldn't be punished but it may not be that serious worst case she's looking at 10 years best case maybe a suspension we're talking about her competing for her Freedom Bo says man these lesbians are really emotional when they find out their girl is cheating we don't know if cheating but hey I'm not saying she wasn't I don't know everybody loses in this situation when an accusation of this nature is made it sounds like the witness is GNA be testifying it sounds like she gave her account to the police and she was kind of fearing for her life Ashlin Watkins picked the girl up physically I don't know how big the girl was but Ashlin Watkins is an imposing figure Ashlen Watkins is 6 foot three as a female she's built like a like a you know a male basketball player shoulders and all Ashlen Watkins is not the first person you challenge to a fight male or female whatever you identify as bro Mario that's what I'm saying kidnapping mixed with domestic violence and assault battery and its first deegree we're not talking second or third degree we're talking first degree this is bad it's here's ashy needs to still be suspended for half the season including practice but allowed to 10 classes I think coach Don Staley can do something but she won't because of the nature of the AL alleged allegations this is I agree whoever said this is a stain on the whole program I agree yep it happened on campus it happened on an on campus apartment it happened on campus Missy welcome in welcome in you she says I'm a gang cop fan and hope things work out she is much needed for our season I don't know if South Carolina is the number one team without Ashlin Watkins I know they have daa I know they have Fagan I know they have kits I know they have Walker I know they have tat but Ashlin Watkins is irreplaceable I'm sorry she's Irreplaceable she will probably get a break a lot of first timers don't go to jail she will probably get counseling and probation best case scenario counseling and probation Alexis Morris had to transfer to another school but led LS to a title does she transfer does Ashlin Watkins transfer Don is 5050 I like SL dislike her politics is a big no no I just personally man trans players in women's like basketball is just insane just the imagine if this was a SC football player man who committed the same crime against a woman these people wouldn't be downplaying the charges YouTube you might be hitting on something YouTube you might be hitting on something I'm just saying straight ball says dude you were talking about a college student with passing grades in a potential promising basketball career has no prior record it's not going anywhere look straight balling let me set the record straight for you right now my man let me set the record straight we're not talking about like a underage drinking ticket we're not talking about a traffic violation we're not even talking about shoplifting we are talking about first deegree assault first deegree battery kidnapping I don't give a damn if your GPA is a 4.0 these charges are serious we're not talking about some minor misdemeanor infraction campus violation partying too late getting rowdy we're talking about felonies everything else goes out the window my man and I'm not here to convict Ashlin Watkins I'm not here to say she's guilty but we're not gonna what we're not GNA do is downplay these charges I don't give a damn if it's her first time offense first deegree kidnap kidnapping first deegree battery first degree assault these are not minor charges it doesn't matter if it's your first time you think people are saying oh somebody committed a murder it's their first offense bro we're talking about felonies what are we doing here come on come on what is going on here guys let me know how y'all feel in the chat like I'm not here to say Ashley Watkins is a bad person and she didn't make a mistake but we're not going to act like this is some misdemeanor some DUI some drinking incident some partying incident the charges are alleged that she held a person against their will first degree assault first deegree battery they're saying that allegedly in the report that she grabbed the Girl by her face by her head wouldn't let her leave I don't give a dang if this is her first offense this is a hell of a first offense Donna I agree I agree with you it is two sides to every story we're going off the story that is out right now that all the media outlets in Columbia South Carolina are reporting now I am a former TV reporter news Sports I've done this for a living I do this for a living radio TV newspaper I've done it all I do my research I know my stuff and I trust my sources this is not something that's going to be swept under the rug I respect South Carolina I respect Don Staley I'm not saying that Ashen Watkins is a bad person but to De to denounce and to deme and to belittle these charges like these aren't serious charges you got to be crazy you got to be smoking crack what is the future what is the future y'all let me know what is the future what is the future for ashlon Watkins this is bad however you want to spin it I know more details will come out however you want to spin it this is bad I don't care how you feel feel about it this is bad this this is bad let me catch up in the chat YouTube says ashin is done the SE in my opinion Donna three sides my side okay yep yep yep Alexis Morris there's been a lot of comparisons between Alexis Morris and Britney Grinder's domestic disputes and their situations I want to say this that separates it kidnapping was not involved social media was not as big as it is now this story is going to spread like wildfire keep hollering at me in the chat though if this is your first time and I I'm I'm fired up right now y'all know how I get if this is your first time in the chat make sure to hit that like

host Brandon blink AKA Brandon Le TV make sure to follow me at Brandon Le TV on all social media let me catch up in this chat because y'all got it spicy right now Alexis Morris a former LSU player played after assaulting somebody no kidnapping charge though on the campus Don Staley seems a lot less forgiven though so I doubt she'll let her play this puts Don Staley in a tough spot man she's one of the pillars of women's college hoops right now she stood on business respect honesty courage this is this is a bad look on the entire program I know it sounds bad but let's not rush to judgment she has her day in court guilt uh innocent into proven guilty I wonder if part of the plea deal the kidnapping is Dro and Watkins transfers to another school give me y'all's update does she transfer does she stay at USC is she done with college basketball is she going to prison y'all let me know what y'all think bro like she's physically imposing with the kidnapping she doesn't need a weapon she's 6'3 and Broad shouldered muscular if Ashley Watkins doesn't want somebody in this chat the majority of us to go anywhere we ain't going nowhere man it's probably GG's for her kidnapp K sah kidnapping is wild that is that takes the comparison from the Britney grinder situation takes the comparison from the Lexus Moore situation where when you throw that kidnapping in I'm sorry but Don sty lost all credibility with me when she was part of believing Caitlyn Clark off the Olympic team Colin standing on business ashlon will be dismissed from the team ashy Knuckles dude you bugging got enough Talent on the bench to replace Watkins bro let's not act like Ashley Watkins wouldn't average a double double this year let's not play it down wait we got to stop we got to stop let's not play it down like Ashton Watkins isn't a potential Player of the Year candidate let's not act like she wasn't getting starter minutes let's not act like she didn't replace Camila cardoso and average a double double in

again in y'all's opinion what is the future for Ashley Watkins many people get arrested for felonies all don't go to prison a lot of people get probation if she gets probation there's still potentially a chance she getss kicked off the team and doesn't play anymore remember Alan Iverson got buil out he didn't get skip shipped to prison and someone died in that situation right no nobody died ex nobody died nobody died nobody died let's go easy on AI nobody died it was a bowling bowling incident braw nobody died though Byron wome in we have a problem this could call South Carolina a championship thank you be honest this definitely could cause South Carolina a championship these are serious charges dealing with her girlfriend will the girlfriend proceed with pressing charges that's the thing this is Major coach Staley is not going to get involved in this these are serious charges I don't think coach Staley can save her at this point Ashlin Watkins would have shot even more with Camila now in the W this is supposed to be a great season this is supposed to be a Breakout season for Ashlin Watkins she was going to be the featured player on this team her and Malaysia full widely let's not act like this isn't a critical blood I don't know if South Carolina's the number one team in the nation without ashon Watkins man let the case play out we have to let the the case play out absolutely brother this is kidnapping I searched her name and that's already a bunch of articles on exactly and I'm reading to y'all what's already on the internet s it's all over the internet it's all over the Internet you're acting if she was found guilty already no I'm acting like Ethan these are serious charges that could cost her her career that's what I'm acting like was this

10 rebounds ashy is just more athletic not more skilled than others that offense was catching up the mid-range was coming defense runs the floor well she's their best paint protector right now we got to be honest this is a huge loss if they lose her don't really know how bad it really was none of us do yes everyone deserves a second chance but if it was that bad maybe she doesn't y'all saw what happened to Ray Rice never recovered never played in the league again we've seen players beat these allegations we've seen it kill careers it could go either way Ethan you right though We're Not Gonna Rush the Judgment KS KS welcome in if DS got jaw up out of there it's over for Watkins good thing we got siia Adell Miriam Joyce and Khloe they do have a lot of depth in that front Court I do agree

read the article again I got y'all for everybody just joining in if you are just joining in make sure to hit that subscribe button comment share like and do all that good stuff to stay up to date with the live of Brandon Blake podcast I will read the article again give me one moment for all those joining in just now so I'm reading article for WLTX a news station of CBS affiliate in Columbia South Carolina news9 the headline South Carolina basketball star Ashton Watkins charged with assault and kidnapping as well as battery first-degree assault and K and and Battery according to warrants filed by South Carolina police in the arrest of Ashlen Watkins the incident occurred at 650 Lincoln Street which is a student housing center a student housing center at the University of South Carolina the warrants for Ashley Watkins state that Watkins assaulted the victim by forcefully grabbing her by the face pulling her by the arms and pushing her she also physically picked this female up and carried her held her against her will the warrant States it goes on to say that Watkins grabbed the victim's head and forced her to walk down a hallway thus controlling her movement listen to the verbiage here controlled her movement while preventing her from [Music] leaving listen to the verbiage there forced her down a hallway controlled her movement and prevented her from leaving I just wanted to say that again so y'all understand the magnitude the warning states that the victim eventually Got Away the victim got away which another statement that indicate she was being held against her will she got away away the girl pulled a fire alarm to escape alleged ly the possession of Ashlen Watkins she alerted the local police the fire department and campus police she pulled a fire alarm she was so scared alleged jail records which show Watkins was detained till around 300 PM 3:30 they initiated they they they basically indicated that Watkins was granted a $3,000 bill you know you only have to pay 10% personal recognized Bond he was charged with kidnapping and first deegree assault and battery first degree premeditated she was released around 3:30 p.m. now this is what is also interesting the the news station reached out to South Carolina athletics department for a comment a spokesperson said they are aware of the situation and they are continuing to gather more information based off what I read y'all let me know y'all let me know based off what I've read it Hunter welcome in it she's eligible for the draft this year being 22 years old worst case she gets 10 years in prison best case she gets a suspension let me catch up in the chat let me c catch up in the chat I agree ashon Watkins definitely would have shot more with cardoso in the W now this would be her team that's what they said happened let's let the P case P play out but this is kidnapping yep y y this is kidnapping I'm not acting like she's found guilty Bo not gonna downplay these charges Ethan was this in yep it was it was involving it sounds like a domestic dispute it sounds like a domestic disp don't really know how bad it is really was none of us do and that's the thing none of us were there but the way they're reporting on this I mean Sonia ja got up out of there for way less but Wesley that's what happens I'll stay in SC Columbia and that so all those charges you screaming about will be dropped down less charge actually I don't know about that man I'm from North Carolina I know South Carolina very well done a lot of work Bible Belt ain't going for that my man I'm just saying that's what I'm saying kidnapping is serious these are serious charges these are potential felonies I posted a question in the chat y'all let me know what what do y'all think just hearing based off what I've read what's going on what do y'all think the future of ashon Watkins is in South Carolina y'all let me know what do the future hold she's a kid that may not get a second chance because of how serious this is facts Colin facts the this is not like a DUI or a drinking ticket underage drinking ticket or a public intoxication or a speeding ticket this isn't that we're talking about serious felonies that carry serious time Ashley's going to throw her a bag to get out of this she'll be good okay her career is not done maybe at SC she will play somewhere maybe after one year if this went down in the hallway there's video footage there should be video footage and there should be Witnesses cuz school's back in will Witnesses come forward will video footage the investigation will continue we don't know all the details yet so I'm not condemning anybody I'm just saying these charges are serious ashon will be suspended indefinitely until the outcome of the criminal case and may not be allowed to participate in school activities or attend school for that matter what happens next welcome in welcome in schools wants to win if she is not convicted and still released from the team other schools will Sal salvate to get her if there's video it will go viral it will absolutely go viral X-Men welcome in the victim could drop those charges but those kidnapping charges is what's going to yeah that's the thing that's what separates all this from the Britney grinder domestic dispute and violence charges from the Alexis Morris domestic violence charges the kidnapping was not a thing that is what's going to separate this and Coach Don Staley has dismissed players before for a lot less guys if this is your first time welcome into the live with Brandon blaty podcast of course I am your host Brandon blaty AKA Brandon Le TV make sure to hit that subscribe button to stay up with all the latest and the greatest join our memberships comment like share and all that good stuff thank you so much for the support none of this is possible without you guys thank you for supporting my my platform and I'm not here to tell anybody they're right or wrong all opinions are welcomed here y'all know me the victim could absolutely drop in charges Wesley says Brandon politics will make this go away Don got political pool she's got more political pool than probably the governor and the mayor we'll see if she gets involved though because this is bad this is not one of them things you can really sweep under the rug I feel like let's cut all this mistake nonsense out Ashley is older enough to know what was wrong so please stop because right is right and wrong is wrong it's spelled the same it is the same saying wow the university has to look out for the safety of the student population so Watkins will be kicked out of school shees no matter how much a victim is paid they can't drop kidnapping charges it's over don't know anything about it but it could come up to twoo unlawful to tame it I think Don will let her go Shae welcome in this is terrible publicity this is not only a stain on the program like on Ashlin but this is a stain on the ire program y'all this is Major we don't know what happened but those allegations are damning and that's the thing I'm not saying I was there I'm not talking like I know what's gonna happen I'm leaving it up to discussion but these allegations and what we've seen players go down for Less in the past this is bad they said her GF was now with a man and she lost it basically got gotta let the case play out okay suspended until further notice probably done in SC she's not going to prison I can't see it for a first time DVA and a girl she getting probation with a bunch of conditions but what does that mean nuke for her basketball career I don't know if Don Staley's gonna be this might be over Don's head I mean this is national news at this point if I'm talking about it everybody's talking about it I don't know if Don is gonna be able to save her from this I don't know if Don's gonna want to save her from this and risk her credibility and her image and the image of this program I'm not saying South Carolina won't win a title without her but Watkins is a major loss and this team will not be the same without her and if there's evidence that she did it then it's not a mistake she did it because she wanted to it is so stop saying she made a mistake people do wrong because they choose to do it smart guy standing on business Missy I don't think she will be forced to leave SC but yes SC will do major damage control like how do you cover this up former NFL puncher Matt arazia was charged with rape and the young lady completely lied on him his career has never been the same that's what I'm saying even if none of this is true and these allegations are just allegations this could be detrimental to her college career to the South Carolina program and to her pro career money isn't going to get her out of this if convicted her victim will probably to anyway and win this could go to civil court Criminal Court all that the difference is I've done time in Columbia SC and you just know from what you read or heard I've experienced being in the system so I know what charges will be dropped okay Ash let me ask you I'm not asking you to snitch but like bro I'm just going to assume that you ain't du time for kidnapping a first deegree assault and first deegree battery I'mma just say that and they might go hard on her cuz she is a public figure I ain't in the snitching I ain't in the drw snitching but I'm just assuming you ain't do time for that or I'm guessing you wouldn't be in this chat right now I'm just saying dep and I mean I've got family that have done Tom nothing for that serious but I mean you know I'm I'm hip I understand what's going on but South Carolina is a noons state man kills she's carrying her down the the hallway she's grabbing her by the face she's forcefully holding her against her will if that's not kidnapping what is responsibility is something lost on a lot of people it might take a year or two for her to bounce back in terms of bball career and will she be the same player if she has to take a year or two off we saw what happened to Michael Vic when he went to prison in his pre he did not come back the same player it's above Don's head this is an ad and University and president matter I agree I think this is above Don Staley's head I don't think Don Staley is gonna be able to save her from this situation I really don't and maybe the charges get dropped I'm not condeming anybody I'm not saying anybody is guilty right now that's not what I'm saying that's not what I'm here to do I'm not here to say that Ashlin Watkins is a bad person I'm here to relay the news that it's out there what is out there in these reports give my perspective and get y'all's perspective that is it we know what's out there and it sounds really bad it sounds really really bad and I want to say this careers have been ended for Less well my advice for me to ashlon roin stop having a relationship with women maybe the best thing she should do is be in a relationship with a man or by herself be by herself I'm not here to tell anybody how to love as I was told at a young age the first time a couple DB incident goes public let's believe it's not the first incident you might be oning something might be on to something I don't know if she was that comfortable putting the paws on her allegedly then yeah I mean this probably isn't the first time but is ashon Watkins done should she go to prison like what are y'all's initial takeaways y'all heard my perspective I want to hear from you guys holler at me in the chat let me know how y'all feel about this whole thing y'all let me know how y'all feel about this whole thing holler me in the chat I'm going to catch up with these comments I'm right now just checking for updates to see if anything else has been said I'm right now just checking to see if anything else has been said if anything else is going on but y'all continue to holler at me in the comments and let me know and make sure to hit that subscribe button comment share like stay up with all the latest with the live of Brandon blle podcast of course I am your host Brandon blaty AKA Brandon Le TV but y'all give me y'all's takeaways man I mean this is Major this is not good first offense or not we're talking about premeditated felonies worst case she's facing 10 years in prison basketball career over college career over student career over life potentially over best case she suspended but y'all let me know y'all let me know let me know like the latest man this is what I'm seeing and I'm not here to say she's guilty I'm not here to condemn anybody or anything like that but I'm just giving y'all the facts of what's going on what's been reported and I mean this is look I know South Carolina returns a mob they have the best roster in the game coming back they're loaded in the back court Taha pal pow decide the come back Raven Johnson ultimate glue player Malaysia FY might be the most um you know electrifying player in the league in in the entire country Tessa Johnson sharpo Matty McDaniel coming in Joyce Edwards coming in the back court the wings Breezy Hall they're loaded the front Court Miriam da Khloe kits siia Fagan Adele Tac sakea Walker like it's loaded but they ashlon Watkins I think is irreplaceable for this group I don't think South Carolina is the number one team in the nation un undoubtedly without ashon Watkins he was going to be the focal point of this team she was going to have a breakout junior year she was going to be a potential Player of the Year candidate and now that all could possibly be out the window seriously I don't think this is a situation where Don Staley can come into the rescue I don't think this is a situation where Don Staley will even want to risk the image of her her brand or The credibility of this program Ray Rice's career was ruined he was never the same and he never got hit with the kidnapp charges let me catch up in the comments let me catch up in the comments look at Ray Rice he had a domestic dispute and his his career was over niio is everything and if she has done this it will be hard for her to recover yeah I mean College programs are not going to touch her WNBA franchises are not going to want to bet their franchise on that especially when domestic violence has been an issue in the W they're not going for that like this she may end up playing for the Harlem Globe trogers prodical she did not get busted with weed or we wouldn't even be here it was domestic assault so she got charged with first degree battery first degree assault and first and kid it allegedly she grabbed her girlfriend by the face held her against her will grabbed her by the head assaulted her picked her up and carried her down the hallway like held her against her will to the point where the girlfriend had to pull a fire alarm to let the local authorities to let campus authorities and the fire department know that hey I'm in trouble I need help and I'm not here to hey I've made a lot of mistakes kidnapping assaulting someone and beating on a woman is not one of my mistakes I don't know about y'all and I'm not a saint but that is not one of my mistakes William welcome in welcome in ashleen teammates is going to look at her totally different and Brandon you are right this is a Ser this is very serious this is very serious and it may be something she can't come back from it really may be something that she can't come back from I mean you hear something like this especially in women's sports her teammates are absolutely going to be looking at her different I'm telling you guys if there's evidence she has done Ashley does not have the money it's all attorneys to get out of this the article I read quote Watkins confessed in the incident was captured on video surveillance if that is true and there's video it'll be out within the next few hours you should take calls on this issue the video buried Ray Rice and if there's a video that comes out it will bury ashon Watkins suit Don will use her political power and this will go away all right I love hearing from y'all only generational players can get away with this do these cases get thrown away under the table with political power every day but we've seen it ruin careers as well it could be either side of the spectrum when you get angry and upset you have to learn how to control your emotions because that's all you have nobody is controlling none of us we all control our own destiny we all control our own brain facts you are responsible for the reaction somebody gets out of you facts you should not get out of character and for though I carry myself like a million dollar brand because that's where I'm G be one day and man I'm not throwing away my future over no nonsense like that you have to understand how to carry yourself y'all see how Travis Hunter came out the star maybe the Heisman Trophy winner in college football he don't go out he don't do no Don he don't party my man said I play football I go to class I fish and play video games when you got a brand to protect you got to be thinking different than the average person I bet she was also on drugs that is junkie type activity I don't know about that I'm not gonna comment on that oh if TMZ got it y'all know if TMZ got it y'all know y'all know is it's major news this is worldwide if TMZ got it I mean just search her name it's everywhere it's everywhere the latest article is from CBS Sports 44 minutes ago let me see if there's any updates let me see if there's any updates let me see let me see if there's any updates because this article most of them were three and four hours old this one is from 44 minutes ago we know police and the fire department arrived on the [Music] scene because she pulled the fire alarm the victim is still being unnamed he did receive medical attention for non-life-threatening injuries and we know South Carolina tips off their season on November 10th in a major matchup against arguably a top 10 team in North Carolina State who played them T in the elite a as well so that's what we know right now she was treated for medical she did get medical attention non-life-threatening injuries but it was serious enough to where she got Medical attention the more articles that come out the worse this is sound and I'm just saying the more articles that are coming out the worse this is sounding it is alleged though but y'all know how TMZ is they were the first people that reported Kobe died if ashon Watkins is a hotthead and Dawn and people around her knows that she's done no one going to risk their brand or her career too many talented players out here and with social media and domestic violence being such like a serious issue and kidnapping man it it might be OV for her there is a chance she goes to prison there is a chance she does 10 years there is a chance that ashlon Watkins career is done not only in South Carolina but in women's college basketball in general there is a chance it doesn't matter if it's true or not Ashlin should not put herself in that PO in that position she knows she's a professional athlete and she has bigger fish to fry exactly you have your whole future ahead of her you have a potential to get generational wealth for your family when you're in that type of situation you cannot allow yourself to make mistakes like this you cannot put yourself in situation it was over it was out over four hours ago Don over four hours ago I'm seeing reports from four hours ago I'm posing another question to the chat what will the punishment be y'all give me your takee what will the punishment be now I still think South Carolina has enough to win a title let's not get it twisted they still return a mob but Ashlin Watkins would be arguably their best player this year this is a major loss if she misses Tom she was the replacement for Camila cardosa when she went to go play with Brazil this is Major man what should the punishment be what will the punishment be if she is found guilty will she go to prison will she be suspended will she be kicked out of basketball in general is her career done the kidnapping is what separates it from every other domestic abuse I've seen in recent history with professional athletes y'all let me know though y'all let me know I mean these are serious felonies we're talking about article this is not like an underage drinking ticket this is not like a public intox intoxication uh citation this is not a misdemeanor we're talking about violent violent felonies when you're talking about being holding somebody against their will preventing them from leaving from putting your hands on them this is serious this is not going to be swept under the rug this is not something I don't think that Don Staley is going to be able to help her out of no Ash Watkins is 22 Ethan she's eligible for the WNBA draft this year she's 22 not 2022 22 22 I mean y'all let me know this is a big hit to South Carolina's championship chances I'm gonna be honest this is a big hit this could be potentially their leading scorer leading rebounder and leading block shot blocker this year this is a huge potential loss I've read over the article I've let y'all know the charges if you're just joining Ashlin Watkins star for South Carolina has been charged charged already ready with first deegree assault first deegree battery and kidna these are serious charges this is not something that Don Staley is just going to be able to sweep sweep under the rug I'm telling yall right now this is I mean worst case she goes to prison does 10 years For What It's associated with with those those crimes with be associated with with the max in South Carolina best case she gets suspension on the other end maybe she never plays for South Carolina but goes somewhere else but this is a potential career Ruiner let's not get it twisted that's what they say happen but we don't know the facts let it play out it has to play out in court maybe the girl doesn't press charges but she did receive medical attention and this is what we know if Don uses her political power to get out of this this means that she is putting winning over doing what is right you put winning over Integrity then I can't respect you and I think a lot of people would feel like that sha I think a lot of people would share that set South Carolina has been the cream of the crop the class the standard in women's college hoops Don Staley is a face of the league a face of of women women's Hoops in general she's heavily respected and admired and door this is a situation that could ruin the program potentially this is bad this is really really bad this is not something that you sweep under the road this is not something that you just forget about this is going to be major news for the next few days this is not some charge that you just get over man this is not light this will not be taken lightly and you're talking about in the Bible Belt in South Carolina or they locking people up for a lot less she has not been convicted yet Ethan and we're not here to convict her we are not here to convict her I'm here to relay the information that is out there right now that is all to give my perspective and to give you know get y'all's take but first deegree assault first degree battery and kidnapping it's not looking good it's not looking good it is not looking good these are serious allegations these are serious charges we're talking about felonies in some states they automatically press charges in domestic violence cases because the victims are known to be intimidated into dropping the charges okay at okay I the hate for SC and DS will make this a huge Scandal it's not as bad as you think for the school and team it could be off for Ashley but we still the team to beat we'll see we'll see South Carolina does return a mob I'm not denying that they absolutely have a mob coming back this team has no weaknesses but ashon Watkins was expected to carry a heavy load this year and potentially be the best player on this team he's a potential Player of the Year candidate like this would be a major loss for South Carolina this is a hit to their National Championship run make no mistake about it this is a bad look this is bringing some very nasty attention to the program let's not get it twisted but give me y'all's takeaway give me y'all's initial reaction we know that the victim received medical attention on scene they were not life-threatening but she did receive medical attention they are saying first deegree assault first deegree battery and kidnapping is what separates kidnapping is the major thing Gary if you're just joining us she was arrested she's been released they paid Bond $30,000 bond you know you only got to pay 10% she was arrested for a physical altercation with a girlfriend they're saying that she assaulted her grabbed her by the face grabbed her by the head forced her down a hallway picked her up and physically carried her prevented her from leaving the girl had to escape the possession of ashlon Watkins and pull a fire it's bad it's bad Ethan no I'm not convicting anybody I'm not judge jury prosecutor anything like that but to to downplay these charges and act like these aren't serious accusations I wouldn't be doing my job as a journalist if there's real bid evidence that she has done this the best thing Ashley Ashlin needs to do is take the plea deal and do not take this to trial she will be removed from South Carolina I mean she could she is facing potential time a potential 10year sentence so that so South Carolina Tai welcome back I love what you doing so they're saying that they're Gathering more information right now that all they've said South Carolina officials is that they are aware of the situation and they are gathering more information that's all we know from South Carolina at the moment that's all we know but y'all saw like do Staley does not play that she's dismiss she she dismissed JW for way less like Don Staley is not gonna sacrifice the Integrity of this program for one player Wesley says this will go away bro yeah Kevin Porter Jr but the thing is Kai came out and denied the allegations that said that he never touched her so he found his way overseas and then back into the leag I think it will also depend on what this the victim the alleged victim what she has to say Damon welcome in welcome in I mean Guys these are some very big accusations these are some big accusations I don't know if there's a comeback from this n ja was dismissed J was dismissed but the thing with Ashley is she's facing first degree assault first degree battery in a domestic violence situation and kidnapping that kidnapping is what I feel like could possibly do her in I just got a question was her girlfriend white or black because we all know race is gonna play a part in this case and I mean Ashlin is an imposing figure she's 6'3 and built solidly like if she don't want you to go somewhere you're not going that's all I'm saying he doesn't need a weapon to hold somebody hostage but y'all let me know how y'all feel in the chat nobody is saying these aren't serious charges what I'm saying is yeah we have to let it play out in court Ethan I agree completely we have to let it play out in court they hey they they hey somebody gotta talk to her something's got to happen will her girlfriend change the story ashy is not the first you would point out and try to fight that's what I'm saying let it play out don't always believe what the news and newspaper report their job is to sell stories yes and I'm a I'm a former newspaper writer I've been a television reporter like I know the game but they're not going to blatantly lie to sell like local news is not TMZ they're not just going to lie and sacrifice their integrity of their station to sell click to get clicks local news is not TMZ this is not a Blog we're reading from this is a local news source that is doing their due diligence to investigate the situation but if it was all here say South Carolina would come out and making a statement and initially immediately and and dismiss any of this nonsense but they're Gathering information which means they're still investigating and they're still getting their ducks in a row that's what we know Troy welcome men welcome men they don't talk about samex domestic violences but when a man is accused of domestic violence the media be like you're about to lose your job hey they they're they're convicted guilty based off of just the initial accusations this is all Alle Legend nobody has been convicted and I'm not here to say that I'm not here to say anybody's been convicted or anybody's Fate has been determined I'm not here to say that but when you're talking about kidnapping when you're talking about first-degree anything let along assault and battery felonies this is absolutely something that can get her kicked out of school in her basketball career we will be remiss not to acknowledge it this is absolutely something that could cost her her career I'm not saying it it immediately is or automatically will but this is something that leaves a bad taste in people's mouths this is something that can send you to prison this is something that can get you dismissed from South Carolina kicked out of women's college hoops and have college player College programs not willing to touch you this is Major this is not some minor incident she could absolutely miss this season which would be a critical blow for South Carolina critical blow you do not have a player on this roster one player that could replace ashon Watkins she's a Player of the Year type of candidate Tiff I know JW was going through issues that didn't involve the police that didn't involve local authorities way less yes way less bro we're talking about kidnapping we're talking about assault we're talking about battery we're talking about felony charges John was not facing suspension from the school she was not facing potential jail time what are we doing here are y'all serious come on this is terrible let's not act like it Ashley Watkins is a great player she's Elite at what she does this is going to be a tragedy on both sides potentially this is going to be a tragedy on both sides potentially we don't know what's going to happen but what we do know today at 8:16 Eastern Time 7:16 Central Time wherever you're at August 31st 2024 what we do know is right now this looks really really bad this looks really really bad Tiff we're not talking about John right now we know she got dismissed we know that there was some issues on campus we know that it was off the court issues we know that she was getting into a bit of trouble that she shouldn't have been into but tip answer me this did y'all kidnap anybody allegedly did she assault anybody physically allegedly did she get charged with battery was she arrested just answer me that that's all I ask because it seems like to me you have no idea they better have the same energy on the on this as they do when men get charged with domestic we saw Ray Rice's career get ended we saw Ray Rice's career get ended and if there is if there is video that comes out if there is video that comes out this is gonna be bad if there's video that comes out this is gonna be bad that's all I'm saying the video is gonna go viral if video comes out this is bad great take correct tone keep it up thank you Michael I appreciate you because people in here tripping people in here tripping man people just just some people just be talking just to talk I welcome everybody's opinion tip I want to say I'm not personally like trying to come at you thank you for being here thank you for um you know being a part of the the chat but come on now let's be realistic here this is this is not the same ha is the truth for sure and she's healthy I'm excited to see her she is 63 she was in an altercation dragging someone who's trying to break free this is where the kidnapping comes in it's not good at all but that turn gives the wrong impression I

let me see what ESPN is is talking about let me see what ESPN is talking about and see if they have any more insight because we know we're going to be getting up to-date Insight on this so ESPN broke the story two hours ago let's see if they have anything extra that we don't know already we know about the battery we know about the assult but comparing jaw situation to this is insane bro I'm just reading through the article now to see if there's anything else I mean the girl pulled a fire alarm obviously she was terrified so ESPN's not reporting anything new they're not reporting anything new if there is evidence in video South Carolina Gamecock will remove Ashlin off the premises immediately da cannot do anything about this but wish as nothing but the best she's a great player I don't know her personally I'm not here to judge her character or attack her character yo tip no you absolutely right I I promise you I don't expect you to agree I don't expect y'all to agree with everything I say I'm not GNA agree with everything y'all say at all and we don't have to I respect y'all's conversation though because I know y'all come in here educated so I mean I I don't expect it and that that's completely fine with me no harm no foul thank you for the love the video could change it all y'all the video could change it all I mean we're still waiting I don't know all the details I'm not here to convict Ashlin Watkins I'm not here to say she's guilty I'm not the judge jury or anything like that I'm not here to convict anybody I'm literally here relaying the news that's being put out that's it I'm here delivering a message and when there's news I gotta deliver it it's all it's not g to always be happy news but I gotta report it I got to my due diligence if if if there's a video it's going to go viral hey Lindy welome man welome man hey better late than never better late than never Ashton Watkins career is over do y'all feel like that article says she will be allowed to travel with the team but I mean their first game is against incc State on November 10th so there's time for this to get resolved I don't know if it will be probably LSU wouldn't let her play until resolved and then take an opinion on the case it's a tricky situation man because all eyes is going to be on them and you don't want to water down or demean the brand comparing y want to be a hood rapper guy to a kidnapping is wild I'm just saying AP said that okay straight balling straight balling I appreciate the support man thank you so much I I I typically keep it Hoops I typically keep it hoops and this is Hoops we're keeping it hoops this is something that is impacting them if Ashley Watkins is not on the court if ashon Watkins is not on the court it is impacting the basketball game look hey like like y'all said we don't always have to agree and I appreciate y'all tuning in but I'm G bring y'all the real every time it might ruffle some feathers and that's okay I'm good with that I'm good with that I'mma keep bringing it to y'all court cases October 25th probably just preliminary hearing where she will be asked to enter a plea look man these charges are bad like no matter how you feel about it these alleged charges are bad depends on the University and how stigant they they are with their code of ethics South Carolina Seems like they not playing around we've seen players get dismissed For Less in multiple Sports even football they might give her a plea deal but she's still going down hard Taha going to have have to average 15 to 17 points that says I mean I'm not saying South Carolina can't overcome this loss but this is a major loss we cannot downplay one the charges but to the absence of ashon Watkins y saw how she filled in for cardoso man she was exceptional last season she ended up playing more minutes than Khloe K she played starter minutes like this is Major all I know is what all the other media Outlets know and I'm sharing what they're sharing that's it that's what we know right now I'm giving y'all what we know right now nothing's been decided it's innocent until proven guilty and I stand on that but we got to be honest it looks pretty bad it it looks pretty pretty bad I'm just saying it it looks pretty bad and I did a video on their schedule release I miss if I apologize if I misspoke so I do know what they playing Iowa State in Vegas for some reason though the one of the articles I read said the game their first game was November 10th I knew I knew better that's my fault there is that that is my point only generational talents get Second Chances with these situations bro this is a career Ruiner potentially yo RC welcome in welcome in man it's looking bad RC Ashlin Watkins if you're just joining facing potential she's charged with first deegree assault first deegree battery and kidnapping in a domestic dispute allegedly with a girlfriend she was grabbing the Girl by the face grabbing her by the head picked her up physically carried her down the hallway prevented her from leaving scared the girl so bad that she ran and pulled a a fire alarm and a loaded the fire department as well as the local police pulled up and the girl received medical attention for non lifethreatening injuries but she still did receive medical attention so this story is going on Wildfire with the charges the ma she could do 10 years best case suspension but Ashton Watkins could very well be done in South Carolina hey smart guy I appreciate you man I'm not just coming up here talking no bull job I really do this and the people that are in these chats that really know y'all know no the girl is a minor that's going to be a beat I'm with you Todd that's a big hit wait a minute though I did not see that the girl is a miner has anybody else seen that because that that throws this into another Stratosphere if that's the truth RC you feel me this is not like a drinking ticket or a DUI or something like that like bro this is a major chice LGE now I will say they are loaded in that front Court Chloe kids siia Fagan Adele T like there's still you know Miriam da like there's still a lot of talent there's still a

always AR going to agree with me and I love that everybody's entitled to their own opinion and all y'all's opinions are welcomed here and I want to stress that Tiff Brown says I wish Ashen and the Gamecocks luck kids make mistakes facts they make mistakes and the consequences are sometimes detrimental hopefully she learns from her mistakes I hope so I don't I mean I hope so I'm not here to say Watkins is a bad person and Tiff you've given some incredible insight and I want to give you your flowers for that you've given some great insight and you know I respect you being here I just want to put that out there Wix article oh my goodness and Ethan I'm not spreading that I don't I have not read that she's a minor you said it's the WLTX article let me read that let me let me look that up let me see see what I can find real quick cuz I I have not seen that I read the WLTX article earlier that's the one that I've been reading to you guys I did not see anything about her being a minor but they did oh wait did you say wait was it WL or WV let me go back no WL I I read the WL article I did not see that right I was watching my Notre D play Texas A&M but called my ey hey we had to do an emergency live this was breaking news oh how is Riley Leonard doing though I'm just curious we don't know so yo so Ashley Watkins is out on bail she had a $30,000 bail and she was released on bail at 3:30 this afternoon that we do know she is not currently in jail hey Dylan rayola getting busy okay okay Ethan says here here y'all go now she was a minor where's the proof yeah I haven't seen any proof of that I have not seen any proof of that so I just want to say I have not Theo thank you so much for the score update she bad for sure with those charges yo those charges are serious man those are some serious charges bro like kidnapping battery a assault in the first degree premeditated this isn't something that's going to be swept under the rug man this could cost Ashton Watkins future potentially it really could Texas and& M girls got kicked off the team we've seen players get kicked off for way less fifth paragraph let me let me pull that article back up let me pull that article back up let me see let me pull that article back up oh yo no that's the proof no I looked over it yes quote in news 19's article if y'all want to look this up wltx.com article No Cap No Cap in this rap let me let me find it hold on hold on hold on I just saw it hold on hold on hold on okay during the proceeding prosecutor said both Watkins and the victim the victim who was referred to as a minor knew each other the girl is a minor the girl is a minor the girl is a minor it is confirmed there was another quote there was another quote we believe and I think they just updated this article there's another quote in the article Watkins attorney Todd Rutherford she has an attorney Todd Rutherford has come out her attorney and said we believe quote we believe once everybody has a full grasp of what happened hold on hold on the article move we believe once everybody has a full grasp of what happened happen this will end up being a misunderstanding brother for said what we know for certain is that Ashley did not ashin did not assault anyone and she did not kidnap anyone again I'm going to read that from her attorney this was just added this was just updated in the article one the girl was a minor two Todd Rutherford an attorney in South Carolina representing ashon Watkins said quote this is a quote from her attorney we believe once everybody has a full grasp of what happened this will end up being a misunderstanding ruford said what we know for certain is that Ashlin did not assault anyone and she did not kidnap anyone that is the most upto-date information we have right now that is the most upto-date information we have right now that is the most up to dat y'all let me know just reading off that area what's good what's good just hearing that now just hearing that y'all let me know y'all let me know the girl was a minor but her attorney of course an attorney is gonna say that but that is what we know that is what we know right now and I want to say from the beginning is a big statement from her attorney when I started the live that statement was not out there and I want to reiterate this I am not here to condemn ashlon Watkins say she is guilty I am here mentioning a message and just translating a message to you guys of what she's been charged with again first-degree battery first-degree assault and kidnapping what she of a minor what she's been charged with I'm not here rule anything I'm just saying those charges carry potential 10 years from what I've seen and it sounds really bad that's all I'm saying I'm not here to condemn anybody I'm not here to say who's guilty or what happened I was not there I'm relaying the message and the information that was given to us that is all but that was a direct quote from her lawyer so Ethan just so you know it was mentioned the girl was a minor and I've said that Ethan I don't know how many times I've said these are charges criminal charges potentially if the girl was a minor that should be another charge for being with underage minor you might be right rayana Williams may never get another chance either with what she did this is is serious they are not playing whatever the situation is we all agree innocent to proven G guilty how it's handled depends on the laws of the state in the Bible Belt I'm G say this South Carolina people in that book they are not playing but I want to reiterate I agree Lindy innocent until proven guilty I'm just here laying out the information that is being publicly uh publicized that's it that's been publicized I'm just relaying the information that all the other media Outlets are reporting that's all that's all I'm here to do that's it but with those updates y'all let me know prodical says career over T says yes this sounds pretty bad and she's a minor she is a minor she was rep all thinking about that Yukon girl with the miners she done messed up real good I'm surprised Ashley is out on Ashlin is out on bail attorneys are paid to lie for the customer why would she admit to the police and it was on video the video if there's a video that's going to tell everything and maybe the video will exonerate her the attorney sounds confident but what defense attorney doesn't sound confident I agree with that Lindy says this is just very sad I don't know why everyone is worried about basketball this is so that's what I'm saying people in here talking about stick to the hoops this is life changing this is bigger than Hoops but it still involves Hoops yes this sounds pretty bad and she's a minor yes South Carolina can win games and win a championship SE is gonna be fine without Ashlin they can win without her this is a huge loss though we're talking about potentially their best player this is a huge loss yes the front court is loaded we know that we know they have a loaded front Court Khloe kids siia Fagan would arguably take the most heavy load most minutes for ashon Watkins Miriam daa three-point shooter big player that's with this team as well Adele T is H healthy this team I'm not gonna say won't skip a beat they will miss ashon Watkins who was supposed to be the focal point of this team they will miss ashon Watkins and I don't know if they are the number one ranked team without Ashton Watkins are they still a championship Contender hell yeah of course but I don't know if they're the unanimous number one team in the nation without ashon Watkins ashon Watkins is a big part of what they do man let's not pretend he played crucial minutes for them all last year they do not win a championship they do not go undefeated last year without ashon wats straight up be real I know y'all watched them play I know y'all saw how she dominated when Camila was playing for Brazil let's be honest and when you got the likes of Yukon USC Texas joining that conference in SEC LSU coming like people will feed off of that this is the thing that will impact the team as a whole we're not just talking about on the court but her locker room presence like this is something that this is a stain that will follow the team this could be a major d raction we saw how LSU had major distractions last year and it derailed the season this could be a major distraction we got to see how Don Staley in this program in the university is going to handle this situation this is just the beginning apparently the girl is a minor Ashlin Watkins is 22 years old she's eligible to go to the WNBA draft this year and hey that statutory that underage the Bible Belt off for North Carolina the other Carolina South Carolina they even more back in history they not playing that they not going for that they will throw the book at Ashen Watkins it's over people in Yukon trying to get the Yukon girl kicked off the team protecting a minor man leave the miners alone man yeah I hope they had cameras video is worth a thousand words and will tell it all it will tell it all the video will tell it all yep no Ashley no Camila that's major losses they'll have to dig deep say she need P Diddy lawar oh man hey Montreal I agree Joyce Edwards may be the best player to come through South Carolina since AJ Wilson the Del Tac MADD McDaniel they're great but they're not replacing Ashlin Watkins Ethan fair enough fair enough we all gotta wait we're all playing the waiting game we're all playing the waiting game we're all playing the waiting game right now we're all playing the waiting game that's it Ariel that's crazy that is crazy yeah we definitely gotta wait maybe this will be Joyce Edwards want to take Center Stage as it pertains to on court prod production and possible subtraction of ashy L Joyce Edwards is a generational Talent I'm here to tell y'all she's the most decorated high school player led the FEA U 18 uh or 19 to a gold medal LED Team USA in the Nike summit Nike hoop Summit won McDonald's All American MVP Co MVP Jordan brand like she's Elite Dre the charges are first deegree battery first deegree assault and kidnapping of a minor they got to release the tape though they got to release the tape now I mean South Carolina brings in the deepest roster so if anybody can overcome this is South Carolina but this is Major this is a this is a big loss Ashley Watkins fumbled the bag she might have she might have w NBA has done so much with like the domestic dispute they not going for that they are absolutely not going for that at all big dispute man this is this could be detrimental man this is something that could follow that team around this whole program around they got to handle this accordingly it's too much before the season go ahead and underestimate the game Cox As Told by Mindy look Mindy if you've ever and if this is your guys' first time make sure to hit that subscribe button comment like and share if you've tuned in my Channel at all you know I give all the praise all the love to South Carolina so I'm not gonna go there if anybody can overcome this it is South Carolina and Don Staley but please y'all let's not downplay the impact that that Ashley Watkins makes on the both sides of the Court let's not downplay that she was a potential National Player of the Year candidate Le ready to Anchor this team let's not let's not do that I know South Carolina's deep I know they're loaded there's not really weaknesses on this team but to just pretend like losing Ashlin Watkins is like losing jaw or losing some like random player let's not do that y'all are too knowledgeable about South Carolina y'all are too knowledge y'all watched too much of Ashlin Watkins not to admit that this is a big loss and that she's a dominant force on both sides that was going to help carry a big load for this team and be a national Player of the Year Contender let's come on y'all why we doing that why we doing that come on now let's not act like they're losing some red shirt freshman that don't matter come on now anytime a team loses a starter that is big come on now I'm just saying Brandon how do you think Don stainy will do damage control with this one this is a situation where like Don Staley is not GNA be able to save ashon Watkins from this not saying that she even needs saving I'm not even saying that she needs saving because you know she could be completely innocent we don't even know if she needs saving if she's guilty or not but if she is guilty this is not something Don Staley's gonna be able to sa her and if it's not handled correctly it'll be a stain on Don Staley's Legacy and the entire program but I don't see how you let her play with this investigation going on like no school in the nation is letting her play with this going on Ashley is a college student she not five or six years old she's 22 years old Ashley knows what's what's right and wrong she just decided to do wrong you don't have the right I don't care who you are you don't have the right to put your hands on somebody straight up you don't got the right to hold somebody against their will somebody's telling you they want to leave you let them leave you don't have a right to put your hands on nobody I don't care who you are SC will have to suspend Ashley until it's clean cleared up you will probably not see the video D to victim being a minor it could though cuz I know when I was in news like when I when I did news stories when I worked at in local television they you can show videos of miners you just have to blur out the face you can show videos of Miners And the fact that the news already identified her as a minor now they won't release the name but you can absolutely release the video As Told by Mindy welcome in welcome in it's not my first time listening to you of course I'm not downplaying Ashlin at all I'm not pretending about anything I'm not saying you are I'm not saying you are I'm just saying Mindy we got to be honest though we got to be honest but Don sty is a Class Act you know and I don't expect anything less for her to do the right thing but right now I think I want to continue to say we are still Gathering the information we're this is just the first of what we're hearing I'm here I'm not making any of this up I'm just giving my opinion I'm relaying the information that all the other media Outlets are reporting I'm just here relaying a message I'm not saying anybody's guilty I'm not saying anybody I don't know Ashton Watkins F we're here talking about it because we know it could be one of a few things we have an idea but we don't know we weren't there and I'm not here to condemn her that's not what I'm doing but I will say this looks really bad if this was anybody this looks really really bad it does we got to be honest we got to call a spade a spade and this would be a major loss I'm not saying that South Carolina can't win a championship without ashin Watkins they are absolutely loaded they returned a mob they look like they're gonna go undefeated again I'm not saying that but Ashlin Watkins locker room presence her own Court presence what she brings to this team in every aspect being a champion it will be a major loss and them having to hear the accus ations and seeing their sister not being able to compete with them it can take a toll on a team mentally I think that's fair to say there these are humans at the end of the day dazzling welcome in welcome in bro losing ashon is a heartbreaking loss it really is is Ethan I'm a black man talking about a black woman how the hell am I talking about pre how the hell is Prejudice even all right man I can't even I'm sorry Ethan respect bro but what the hell are you talking about my man Regice I'm a black man talking about a black woman what the hell are you talking about YouTube says dumb to be with a minor anyway she needs to grow up coach St is going to ask ashon why were you even in this situation she got to know better man when you have so much to lose you're a superstar you're a national name you're a national champion you're a potential Ashley Watkins has the potential to change her family's fortune and bring generational wealth when you have that type of aspirations you cannot put yourself in these situations it's not prejudice it's not it's not wrong to say it's not getting ahead of ourselves to say that the charges that she is charged with are very bad if you don't think battery assault and kidnapping is bad then I don't even want to know what you think is bad and that's just speaking for anybody but yeah D events that's a big loss man it's a big loss Don could they have the talent to replace ashon Watkins but this is still a big loss yeah they could go they could go small they could go Joyce and Khloe kids but I think the bigger thing would probably be inserting siia Fagan into the starting lineup somebody said that her she caught her girlfriend with another guy or with a guy I don't know that though I don't know if I don't know if that's true or not so I don't know but yeah did so so it wasn't confirmed that they were in a relationship what was reported is that they knew each other that's what was reported that they knew each other not that they were in a relationship but that they knew each other but that front court is deep if any team in the nation is going to recover it will be South Carolina but to say that losing a national Player of the Year candidate and Ashlin Watkins a player that they wouldn't have won a national title without last year downplay in it is nuts to me and I think to me personally it's disrespectful to ashlon Watkins bro y'all acting like she a red shirt freshman that don't get minutes this is a major loss for South Carolina can they still win the national title of course they're loaded is this a major loss hell yes and I'm not going to entertain that it's not this is a huge loss this is a major blow for South Carolina major y'all keep hollering at me in the chat though we we got a good conversation it's getting spicy I

stacked it should be an issue they are stacked but ashon Watkins is a major loss Chloe kits the real deal and I don't know man Chloe K been putting on muscle she been working on the perimeter skills we could here three Ethan says dismissal without prejudice means that the judge dismissed the plaintiffs or Prosecutor's case without damaging their right to have their matter heard in court and I mean this is going to be a story that's heard about on the media it's going to be blown up and they're gonna have to if it does go to trial choose a jury that is not going to be locked in and have any type of pre I agree with that siia Fagan is absolutely ready and she started some games last year she's great I love her she's been around she's a veteran um you know she could definitely feel that void but Ashley Watkins is irreplaceable with one player even if they were in a relationship Agri consent is 16 so what makes a difference okay thanks for the clarification yes yes yes okay Ethan I got you I got you bro I got you I got you yes Yes Yes Y'all make some very valid points man I see some new faces in here I see some of the same ones man and I just want y'all to know I'm not gonna agree with everything everybody says y'all aren't going to agree with everything I say that's completely fine we just here to talk about it I want to hear y'all's opinions I want to hear from y'all if we all agreed it would be hella boring so thank y'all for coming in here and sharing y'all's thoughts and I want to hear more of it keep hear keep hollering at me in the chat let's keep going [Music] da Lin Vince says this is definitely a major loss I'm afraid for the young lady's future I mean this is the decision that she made that could ruin her life we don't know we don't know Mindy definitely definitely agree with you Sima back they could potentially give her more minutes Sima did come back using that extra year Adele Tac is healthy like they have bodies but are any of them as good as Ashlin Watkins right now today that's what I mean Ashley Watkins is a potential National player the year All American type Talent like top five draft piic Ethan says this court is not going to go to case her uh her lawyer seems very confident for all involved just wanted to correct you though Ash's not 22 not saying it matters is not 22 is she 21 she's eligible for the draft so she's gotta be like 21 let me just double I read that she was 22 so I see 22 and I see 20 so she will either be 21 or 22 this year I'm seeing different ages but her birthday is October 5th so she'll be 21 or 22 within the next couple of months but thank you for that thank you for that I'm not trying to give any fake news news out here case is going to be dismissed case is going to be dismissed praying for all involved yes yes yes Don Staley will never let go of Caitlin preventing her from winning three straight have backto back undefeated Seasons if they still title conditions it can't be that major football te escape the nail B I mean they are still title contenders but without ashon Watkins I don't know if they're the undoubted fa you went from like undoubted favorit to repeat to it's looking a little shaky when you look at what USC did when you look at what Texas did coming into the SEC when you look at what LSU did when you look at what UCLA did there's going to be a lot of competition in women's college hoops when you look at what Notre name did they are going to need ashon Watkins for a title run straight up let's be honest y'all pug that welcome in welcome in hey what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas yes sir I hope you enjoying it out there pug dad appreciate you locking in with us violence and abuse is definitely wrong yeah I don't know what sparked it I've been seeing different rumors but they gonna need Ashlin if they run in the USC brand they definitely going to need Ashley Watkins to beat USC or Yukon I don't know if they beat Yukon I really don't know if they beat Yukon without Ash but yeah pug dad hitting them slots hey man I hope you leave with a grip I hope you leave with a grip my man but can they beat Yukon can they beat the USC's of the world without Ash he was they don't win a National Title without ashon Watkins last year y'all let's be honest they do not win a title without ashon Watkins last year major loss huge loss potentially we don't know if she's lost yet we don't know if she's lost yet we're still waiting to hear exactly what's going to happen and what's going on right now we just have the initial facts we know that she was charged with first-degree battery first-degree assault of a minor and kidnapping of a m and that the two knew each other and that it happened on a um South Carolina like a campus property a school sponsored proper and the fire department and the police came a fire a um a fire alarm was pulled that's what we know allegedly she grabbed the Girl by the head grabbed her by the face assaulted her physically picked her up and carried her down the hallway forced her to go down the hallway and didn't allow her to leave the vicinity so the girl ran and allegedly pulled a firearm that's what we know that's what we know right now I'm just relaying the facts that's it I'm just relaying what we know right now what other media Outlets are saying we don't know we know that she could potentially face jail time we know she could be suspended we know she could be dismissed we know she could maybe possibly never play basketball again career could be over we don't know could be swept under the rug charges could be completely dismissed and she could suited up for first game in bades we don't know it's all speculation at this point we gotta wait for a video Missy says they're saying she confessed and there is video if this is true she cannot play the video would destroy her the video could possibly destroy her or it could possibly exonerate her kidnapping what that's some Thug stuff Lish I mean it's not sounding good y'all are being so contradictory they are title contenders but now they can't win without one player as he has a team of great players wasn't that the narrative last season yes Mindy they have a team of great players they don't win a title without Ashlin Watkins last year I they are still title contenders without Ashton Watkins but do they beat Southern California do they beat Yukon without ashon Watkins I don't know I I genely I don't know the thing is though this did happen early enough to where she does Miss time they have time to adjust and get acclimated but if any team could overcome a loss like this it is definitely South Carolina first of all Don sty is the coach of South Carolina game CS her job is to win basketball games and win championships that's it she's not hired to interfere in criminal cases facts we know Don Staley has been like a big sister to a lot of her players and she will be there to have ashy Watkins best interest but right she goes well above and beyond of her job title definitely we don't know who will be anyone this season yeah you're right it's a toss up at this point South Carolina is the favorite but there are a lot of loaded teams the transfer portal was banging a lot of good freshman coming in there's a lot new teams in the SEC there's a chance South Carolina doesn't need to win the SEC we don't know you you absolutely right Mindy we do not know how it's all going to go down but I'm excited to see I'm absolutely excited to see how it all goes down and I'm definitely going to keep y'all updated on any updates I receive and how this whole situation is going and any new information we have I did give y'all the lawyer quote he seems confident that this whole thing is a misunderstanding and maybe it is maybe this whole thing is a misunderstanding we genuinely don't know like we genuinely just don't know anyone calls the thug word you won't be blocked but you will be Ed out for a little bit we are not using the word Thug to identify people especially our people use another word RC that is why you are one of the moderators here with great power comes with great responsibility thank you for patrolling the chat SC always has a strong team who knows they could pick up another player maybe I'm not here to count South Carolina out by any means they have the potential to win a championship without Ashley Watkins if anybody could lose a player of her magnitude and overcome it with their depth and their talent it is South Carolina there's still a lot to unpack and I'm not here to attack ashlon Watkins character I'm not here demean her I'm not here to call her guilty I'm not here to do any of that to condemn her we don't know the only thing I'm here to do is to provide the information that's out there in the world already about the charges and any updates that we get that is it I'm not here to name call and I'm not here to make any predictions about this future I'm just saying there are a couple of different ways this thing can go and that's common knowledge uses the th word Thug that word just brings the worst type of audience yeah and I'm not here to call anybody names I don't want y'all like that's not what we're here I'm not here to bash Ashlin Watkins I'm not here to attack her character or any other player character for that matter like that's not how I roll y'all know me y'all have been through enough lives with me been a part of the channel for a while now y'all know that's not how I'm moving man this has been a great discussion from you guys great input I appreciate all y'all just giving y'all's takes on this thing it's an unfortunate situation for all parties I just want to say that it's an unfortunate situation for all parties involved and we will see how it ends up and how it gets worked out but it's unfortunate and this is not something that I look forward to talking about but this is something that is the biggest story currently in women's college hoops and we got to talk about it I'll be remiss not to mention it as a journalist hey Lindy I appreciate y'all too much love much love I really appreciate y'all too let me look that up so South Carolina's first game will be November 4th and I I apologize somebody called me on it earlier I apologize I was wrong and I I'm not not one of those creators or those journalists that can't admit when they were wrong I were wrong I was wrong I mentioned earlier their first game was November 10th against NC State in the Aly tip off Ally tip off that was not the case their first game is actually November 4th they will open its season in Las Vegas and they will face Michigan so the first game for South Carolina will be November 4th just over a couple of months away wanted to make that correction November 4th November 4th will be the first game for South Carolina against Michigan and Las Vegas they give her ankle monitor I don't know I don't know and we don't know anything she hasn't been convicted of anything yet Ernest welcome in welcome in she hasn't been convicted of anything yet I'm simply relaying the message of the charges that she's facing we don't know what's going to happen we don't know innocent until proven guilty I'm not here to condemn anyone or attack anybody's character I'm just relaying the message that is out there right now but if she is to miss time they do have enough time to adjust Lindy you're welcome my pleasure good news is this happened before the season kicked off smart guy says first of all SC just came off an undefeated championship this is embarrassing to South Carolina what do you think how they feel do you do you think they're gonna have Ashlin still on basketball program they're going to have to handle this situation accordingly cuz all eyes will be on them and y'all know people have been ready to tear this South Carolina program down for some time and Don Staley they got a lot of haters so pooping with an ankle B is wild now they would make that would be wild but yeah innocent until proven guilty I'm right there innocent until proven guilty absolutely I'm right there with y'all with that the whole story has not come out we don't know for sure yet everything that happened and again I am not here to to condemn or convict ashin Watkins I don't know but I will say these charges sound very bad and very serious when you're
