I didn't sit on a member of the Westboro Baptist Church

There has recently been some questionable news involving me, and some have gone as far as to call me a hero. http://imgur.com/gallery/B8jlAtp The headline was very strange, but the truth may be even crazier. Please let me tell my side of the story.

Just over two months ago I was contracted by eccentric billionaire Alki David to take part in a reality show in Beverly Hills. After a day of filming, it was shut down. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IgSAeJocHos To further provide content to his television station, he sent me around the United States in an RV with some other members of the website http://battlecam.com

We stopped in Reno, Las Vegas, Austin and San Antonio, on our way to Miami when the billionaire decided to send us to Topeka, Kansas with the intent of us interviewing Fred Phelps about an upcoming crucifixion. If we didn't deliver, our road trip was over.

After days of unsuccessful attempts of reaching the WBC, mainly because they weren't even in Topeka at the time and we had a mob of trolls trying to derail our attempts, we had one last night to impress Alki David or head back home. This is where the lie starts.

We head to a coffee shop where known theater folk hang out in Topeka, Kansas. We met an ex-pastor who left the church to become an openly gay masseuse. He had some theater work and a deep knowledge of the Westboro Baptist Church. He was eating a pannini when we met him and 30 minutes later he was being interviewed in our RV.

Prior to this, we had knocked on the doors and homes of the WBC, to no avail. This was just DAYS before the Rainbow House appeared across the street. When we met this actor, he was our last ditch effort to continue our trip across America.

He had no idea I was in the closet, waiting to unleash my LEVIATHAN physique. He was playing the character David Phelps and I did to him what I would have done to any of the WBC members had we been able to wrangle one for review. It was unfortunate that I wasn't given the chance.

Afterwards, mission was accomplished and we left Topeka as possible criminals in the eyes of our billionaire benefactor. I vowed never to return to Topeka again. We made it all the way to New Jersey, when the billionaire made a video of our footage to promote his upcoming crucifixion. Along with a press release, added a false eye witness report of me sitting on David Phelps, without my knowledge.

The footage went viral. The internet exposed us to the billionaire. He was not mad, as he enjoyed how much trouble it stirred up, but by the time I had made it to New York City on my trip and enjoyed some drinks with friends, celebrating a road trip across America, I get a text from the billionaire telling me TO GO BACK TO TOPEKA!!!

It's the last thing I want to do, but Huffington Post had contacted me earlier that morning and it looked as if they were going to do a follow up story. I didn't want to blow the story for FilmOn by not going back. Going back was the worst decision, however.

I live broadcasted in front of the Rainbow House in protest towards the Westboro Baptist Church, live in Topeka while they readied for the crucifixion live in Los Angeles. Here was our protest: http://imgur.com/OcFz7dg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dAIdp-968PQ - pretty lame!

All said and done, I never intended to fool the media or create a hoax, I was just part of a plan to continue a road trip that was already over half way across the United States. The billionaire in charge never meant to fool you either, he thought it was real when he made the promo video. Robert Cutler made up the part about me sitting on David Phelps, who wasn't really David Phelps, but a ex-Pastor/openly Gay masseuse. "David Phelps" did however have no idea I was going to attack him, naked, screaming Leviathan. That was a real surprise/reaction. So there's that at least.

Sorry to all who were mislead. I wish I could really be your hero.
