Jake’s Network Of Hope issues a statement.
On November 3, a Reddit user posted a thread in r/SquaredCircle asking for an update on a situation regarding Jacob Fatu and the story about him ghosting a charity organization in 2023 after canceling a booking. The organization stated spent $2,633 on the booking and that Fatu had not repaid the amount after canceling on them due to a “family emergency”.
The thread got an answer from the person that originally spread the news, the husband of a woman that worked for the organization at the time. This person stated that Fatu had still not paid back the organization.
Later in the day, Sports Illustrated obtained a statement from Jake’s Network Of Hope. In the statement, the organization stated that they are addressing this manner privately with Fatu after he apologized over a phone call back in May. The organization also stated that the full amount owed has yet to be repaid by Fatu.
From Sports Illustrated:
“Jacob Fatu and our organization are addressing this matter privately, beginning with a phone call and heartfelt apology back in May. While the full amount owed hasn’t yet been repaid, we appreciated Jacob’s acknowledgment. It can be tough to face up to your wrongdoings, and we commend him for taking steps toward confronting his.”
Fightful will continue to update fans as more information is made available about the situation between Fatu and Jake’s Network Of Hope.
