The family of Karmelo Anthony held a press conference to respond to social media rumors and news outlet reports. The event was held in the Dallas area at the offices of the Next Generation Action Network. Dominique Alexander, president of NGAN, spoke for the majority of the presser to clear up misconceptions the general public may have about Karmelo.
Alexander started off by addressing Austin Metcalf’s father who showed up to the press conference uninvited, causing a brief delay. Metcalf was escorted out by police. Alexander says that the Anthony family nor NGAN have spoken about the Metcalfs at all, and that the father’s actions spoke to a character issue.
As the press conference went on, the objective became clear. Dominique Alexander and Karmelo Anthony’s parents wanted to tell the world who Karmelo is and what type of family he comes from. Karmelo’s parents are married and have been for 17 years. There are three other siblings living in the home and they have been there since at least 2022. Reports of the Anthony family accessing GiveSendGo fundraised money are false. The co-founder of GiveSendGo spoke to TMZ on the phone and told them that none of that money has been touched.
Unfortunately, the family has been the target of violence and hatred due to their home address being leaked. Part of the GiveSendGo money may be used for relocation purposes, but the rumors of a $900,000 home and a $150,000 Cadillac Escalade being purchased are false. They may have those things but they had them years ago, not recently as a result of this financial windfall. Karmelo’s mother is a stay-at-home mom and his father is a hard-working provider.
