Ed Orgeron provides written statement to Louisiana senate committee following Derrius Guice allegations
If you were unaware, Ed Orgeron was recently asked to appear in front of the Louisiana state senate committee on women and children following the allegations made by Ms. Gloria Scott against former LSU running back Derrius Guice.
Orgeron has decided against appearing, which is his right to do as the request to appear is a voluntary one, but did provide the following written statement to the Louisiana state senate committee according to Brooks Kubena of The Advocate.
Scott was previously asked to appear in front of the committee and she provided her experience following the interaction she had with Guice back in 2017.
Following Scott’s testimony, it has been revealed that a man claiming to be speaking on Scott’s behalf wanted Guice sat for the Citrus Bowl or $100,000. This news comes via WAFB-TV which obtained a recorded phone call, text messages and a police report detailing this information.
Scott has denied that she was seeking any form of payment from LSU and recorded voicemails that have been released back up her claim that she personally never asked for any money.
Here is the written statement Orgeron sent to the Louisiana state senate committee per Brooks Kubena of The Advocate.
Nice Ed O but i feel this thing is going to continue to drag out. These reporters have dug in the heels.
Ms. Scott says she talked to Ogeron, so he is flat out calling her a liar. I feel bad for her as he continues to smear her reputation to this very day.
She is a liar and extortionist.
The article clearly states that she has electronic evidence that she never asked for money. O says that the university has evidence that a person representing her asked for money. Funny how that is such a new revelation and the actual evidence hasn’t been presented. It should be noted that O didn’t argue the fact that he talked to her. Now it’s was a man and not her. His story has changed and the evidence from LSU hasn’t been released or reviewed as far as I know.
Quit passing bad information. O said from the beginning that he never talked to her. His story hadn’t changed and neither has your nonsense. LSU has a record of him asking for money and he has admitted doing so. Try and keep up.
Maybe you misread the Article.
“Following Scott’s testimony, it has been revealed that a man claiming to be speaking on Scott’s behalf wanted Guice sat for the Citrus Bowl or $100,000. This news comes via WAFB-TV which obtained a recorded phone call, text messages and a police report detailing this information.”
You are an idiot. Just another troll.
I think you are a liar. I don’t think you feel a thing and are just a sh!t stirrer.
You are made of spare parts bud. She wanted money and it didnt happen and now she wants to sue.
This is probably not going to end well for the university, at the least.
So who is the extortionist and what is his connection? Has anyone asked Guice if it even happened?
Still too sketchy for me to believe much of this story. This woman is tough enough to work security in New Orleans at the Superdome and she can’t handle some punk. My grandmother would have beat his azz when she was seventy. She dang sure wouldn’t sit around and cry about it. My mother was still a principal at a junior high school when she was seventy. I know she could have took care of him.
1) Cleve Williams. Williams is a coach from New Orleans. He presents himself to LSU officials that he is ‘helping out’ Scott and her family in the matter. 2) Guice denied it as did one of the guys with him that day.
On the flip side, are there any contemporaneous witnesses to Scott’s alleged assault? None have mentioned in any of reporting I’ve seen. It’s almost as if that’s irrelevant… as is the fact she never directly contacted the police, much less filed a complaint against Guice.
Thanks Dave. Guess I was being a tad lazy. Since then I have dug a bit deeper. I don’t want to be too big of a homer and bury my head in the sand but this story just doesn’t hold water for me
Well the right thinking person would notify the police if they were assaulted, in any way. I always question these accounts, when they talk about how horrible the assault was, and how they want justice, but they failed to notify the very agency that can actually see that justice is done. The institution can do no more than expel a person, through Title IX, I do not know if Title IX even comes into play if it is not a student that is assaulted. If that is the person’s idea of justice, they are not too terribly outraged.
Upon receiving Scott’s complaint, LSU associate AD Miriam Segar personally drove Scott to the University Police Dept. to file a report. Scott refused. The officer made a report of Segar’s assessment noting that Scott made no direct contact with the police dept.
That’s a good statement. Someone should ask Mrs Scott if that is actually what happened. I’d bet it is.
I accept that ?something? happened between Guice and Scott. I also accept Ed O’s statement as the truth. Scott should have handled it differently from the get-go, or accepted that her attempts to fix it – in a less than up-front way – failed, and then move on and leave it behind. The “family friend” needs to be prosecuted, and if Scott was involved in the extortion part of it – she should be too.
Yeah. Scott should have called the police. That does not prove something happened, but it is a stronger indication that something happened than someone coming out years later, with nothing but allegation, and expecting people to fall over themselves to believe them.
The first story said Scott talked to O. He agreed that a conversation was held between him, her and another LSU employee with DG there to apologize. Now it was someone else on the phone so he never talked to her. Someone is lying here and the only evidence leans toward it being O.
That’s such nonsense. He never said he talked to her. Your wants are outweighing any sense of logic.
The way I understand it, he originally said 2 different things…first that he didn’t talk to her, and then that he didn’t remember talking to her. I think Coach O was trying to be nice and not call her out after ?whatever? happened between her and Guice, but his hand was forced. It’s literally on record that he, Segar, and Guice called to talk to her, but they weren’t allowed to by the family “friend” unless LSU agreed right then and there to cough up $100k.
On another note, what kind of buffoon thinks he’s going to cut that deal, much less in the span of a phone call?? Coach O and Segar: “Ok, can you hold Mr. Williams…..(3 weeks later)…..OK, the university accounting dept has approved your request, would you like that in cash, check, or direct deposit? Can Derrius please speak to Mrs. Scott now?”
Agreed
You have the wires crossed.
Please explain?
Believe he is saying darthA is screwed up in his facts
darthA’s conclusion is bassakwards. The only evidence leans toward Scott lying and lying for personal gain.
Got it thanks 9mmD. If extortion was involved they’ll get to the bottom of it.
This is far from over…
