I don&#8217;t wish this upon anyone and I can only hope that those responsible for this learn from their mistakes and become better people. My family and I dealing with this matter privately and taking legal action. Bullying, extortion, slander and defamation of character is something I will not stand for and I can promise that justice will be served.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>His statements stem from a video released on Monday, in which&nbsp;beauty vlogger&nbsp;<strong>Cole Carrigan<\/strong>&nbsp;detailed how the Ace Family patriarch allegedly raped a young woman.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"text-2\" data-hook=\"scrollable-block\" readability=\"63.863187588152\">\n<section data-textblock-tracking=\"text-block-text-only\" data-swiftype-index=\"false\" readability=\"18.812411847673\">\n<p>In the video, Carrigan told his followers that in June, a good friend of his claimed that Austin had raped her in a Miami hotel. He also revealed&nbsp;that Austin allegedly tried to force himself on a second unidentified woman.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Cole claimed that&nbsp;he had to film&nbsp;the video on his friend&#8217;s behalf because the woman allegedly signed non-disclosure agreements.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>To add to the drama, the vlogger claimed that a gossip vlogger named <strong>Keem&nbsp;<\/strong>was paid $500,000 by the Ace Family in order to keep the story silent. On <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/KEEMSTAR\/status\/1182828533233655809?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Twitter<\/a>, Keem said, &#8220;Dude asked me how much did the AceFamily paid to not make the vid, I said $500k sarcastically. Now he said making a expose vid. Truth is the woman I planned on interviewing went MIA.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"text-4\" data-hook=\"scrollable-block\" readability=\"66.720542231491\">\n<section data-textblock-tracking=\"text-block-text-only\" data-swiftype-index=\"false\" readability=\"23.899895724713\">\n<p>The second girl who was allegedly involved in the incident has since spoken out to deny Cole&#8217;s claims in a since-deleted Instagram post. &#8220;I feel like this video was made for the wrong reasons, and this wasn&#8217;t Cole&#8217;s story to tell. Cole even texted me saying we could potentially get $100,000 from this, following the claim that Drama Alert was payed off $500k,&#8221; she alleged in screenshots shared by Austin. &#8220;I wasn&#8217;t aware Amanda or Cole were in contact with drama alert to anonymously run our story.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>She added, &#8220;I wanted to say that Austin McBroom is not to blame in the situation, and did not rape me or anyone. I&#8217;m currently handing this situation in my own way.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>E!
