Ensa was a strong supporter of her father
Ensa was a strong supporter of her father during and his alleged sexual assault allegations. Back in May of 2017 Ensa and her sister Erin shared statements defending their father on the Breakfast Club.
“The accusations against my father have been one-sided from the beginning. When he tried to defend himself, he was sued in civil court,” she said in a statement. “I’ve seen the accusations become more horrific and extreme with time and I’ve witnessed my father’s reputation and legendary works be dismissed without any proof. I strongly believe my father is innocent of the crimes that are alleged against him and I believe that racism has played a big role in all aspects of this scandal. How the charges came against him, how people believed them before they were ever scrutinized or tested, how people who questioned the claims were shut down and ignored.”
“The media created the story and the outcome before any court will ever test the claims,” she went on. “How my father is being punished by a society that still believes that black men rape white women that passes off as ‘boys will be boys’ when white men are accused. How the politics of our country prove my disgust. My father has been publicly lynched in the media. My family, my young daughter, my young niece and nephew have had to stand helplessly by and watch the double standards of pretending to protect the rights of some, but ignoring the rights of others and exposing innocent children to such appalling accusations about someone they love dearly and who has been so loving and kind to them is beyond cruel.”
The story still developing.
