On Wednesday, Tyler Francis and Ashley Adoniser finally cleared the air regarding his “sperm donor” dilemma which nearly threatened their relationship. During the Season 7 reunion which aired on Oct. 30, Ashley also weighed in on the controversy, and the 32-year-old made it clear that she’s gon’ stick beside Tyler, no matter what.  

Tyler, 34, addressed the shocking revelation he made in Episode 9, where he told his then-fiancée, Ashley, that he was merely a “sperm donor” to his three children and had never met them—a detail he had kept private while in the pods. 

At the reunion, Tyler clarified his situation, explaining that he initially helped “a friend and her wife start a family,” but after the wife left, he “voluntarily” stepped in to assist with the children, PEOPLE, reported. 

Tyler Implied That Things Got “Shaky” With The Mother Of His Three Children, Bri Thomas

Internet skeptics quickly unearthed photos of Tyler with his three children, whom he shares with former basketball player and friend, Bri Thomas, contradicting his earlier claims. Acknowledging the online buzz, he stated on Wednesday;

“There’s pictures of me around. I played a part that became very shaky with a friend.”

Tyler’s comments were in response to a statement made by Bri earlier this month when the young mother took to Instagram to clarify his relationship with their three children: Kyreaux, Kali, and Kamari. According to the matriarch, Kyreaux was their firstborn while she was still married to her then-wife. She also explained that their 5-year-old twin daughters, Kali and Kamari, were conceived naturally from an unplanned pregnancy shortly before Kyreaux turned one.

“There’s no rule books to this… but I do want to let people know Ashley knows all this. This is news to the world, this has never been news to us,” Tyler said of the situation. “I don’t owe anyone an explanation but my wife… I’m good, we’re good, and I’m not gonna keep harping on it.”

According to Page Six, Tyler revealed that the birth certificates of the three children were shared online as internet sleuths sought to uncover the details of his relationship with them following the episode. “Things that shouldn’t be happening, are now happening,” the father of three added. “Those kids, that family, they did not sign up for this.”

Ashley Speaks Out

During the reunion, Ashley defended herself against those who assumed she was oblivious to the situation, emphasizing that Tyler preferred not to discuss it on camera. She criticized the idea that she was blindsided, stating that she already knew about his family situation well before viewers were let in on the complicated situation.

“For the record, this is something he never wanted to share on camera. I just didn’t feel like it would be an authentic experience or I could continue … if we didn’t [discuss this].”

The duo ultimately agreed to talk about the situation on camera so there would not be confusion amongst family and viewers, although, “there were things he was comfortable sharing and things he wasn’t.”

Ashley stated that Tyler deliberately lied on camera about his kids not recognizing him, adding that it was clear to see onscreen.

“He divulged that information to me [beforehand],” she clarified. “With him growing up in a single-parent household… it was very hard for him to remove himself [from this situation] and not be involved when this is now a single mom,” she added.

“I know he is a good person who went in a little too deep and didn’t know what to do next,” she said, adding that the sperm donor setback would not tear their marriage apart. 

Ashley declared;

“This is a once-in-a-lifetime kind of love and it’s worth risking anything.” It’s worth it all.”

The Minneapolis Police Department knowingly allowed a white man named John Sawchak to keep his freedom for nearly a week after he shot his neighbor Davis Moturi, a Black man, unprovoked. According to CNN reporting, Moturi was outside of his home pruning trees when Sawchak fired a round that entered through his neck and would go on to fracture his spine and break two of his ribs.

Warning! The following video shows the moment Davis Moturi was shot. It may be disturbing to watch.

To add insult to potentially fatal injury, Moturi has filed 19 police reports about Sawchak’s threats, harassment, and hate speech including an incident where he called Moturi a “Black bastard.”

B-b-b-but wait! It gets worse! Sawhcak had also been allegedly harassing his other neighbors for YEARS without facing consequences for his criminal behavior. MPD says that they allowed this soup cookie to remain in his home because of his history of mental illness, they believed he was a threat to himself and others.

Ya don’t say!

Sawchak was finally arrested early Monday morning after a five-hour standoff with dozens of SWAT officers despite having three active warrants against him for his years of abuse.

This situation was so egregious that Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara had to do something that we can’t say we’ve ever seen before, take full-throated and unequivocal accountability.

“We failed this victim 100%,” said Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara at a news conference Sunday. “The Minneapolis police somehow did not act urgently enough to prevent that individual from being shot.”

Great. Thanks. But don’t get it twisted for one second. This is complete bulls**t and people should lose their jobs and their badges for the way this situation was handled. Anyone dialing 911 almost 20 times needs immediate law enforcement intervention. This is why people scream, “ACAB!” This is why people scream, “Defund the police!”

This is the same police department that killed Dante Wright, George Floyd, Leneal Frazier, Amir Locke, and God only knows how many others. This is the organization to which Donald Trump wants to grant complete immunity. This is why NWA was right and they always will be. This is why you need to vote.
