@TheRippaverse employee who filed that police report and @EricDJuly this will be resolved one way or another.
In the event that my initial request for a retraction is not met by April 4, 2025 at 5pm CST I will be sending a letter to Eric July and to Rippaverse warehouse employees via certified mail on April 5, 2025 reiterating my request for retraction to satisfy the below Texas statutes in the event that my initial request is not honored. If Eric July, the Rippaverse or the employee who made the report has retained counsel, please send me a DM with their contact information and I will send the request to them. If my initial request for retraction is not met I will also then move forward with a meeting that is scheduled with a detective at the Plano Police Department on April 7, 2025 to discuss the report in detail and request any correspondence that took place regarding this matter.
To ensure that every effort is made to inform both Eric July and the Rippaverse employee who made the police report of my request for correction, clarification, or retraction I am posting the above referenced letter here in addition to the letters that will be sent via certified mail. This letter will serve as my formal and final request regarding this matter.

Eric & Rippaverse Employees
I am writing to you in regards to a police report made to the Plano, TX Police Department, 2024-00029562, filed by a Rippaverse employee that appears to have been made at the instruction of Eric July on February 8, 2024. The report was brought to my attention on March 31, 2025 via a Twitter/X post made by Dick Masterson. Upon reviewing the police report I noted falsified and embellished statements that were made in a police report made to the Plano Police Department. The false and embellished statements include the following:
… “[1] sub poss stalking boss” …
… “[3] adv started showing up to boss’ house” …
… “all incidents of driving by the residence” …
Any accusation of stalking is entirely false and unfounded.
As you are well aware we are both residents of the same Frisco, TX neighborhood. I have been to the home of Eric July and have had amicable conversations with him prior to this report being filed on numerous occasions, was never asked to leave or to not return and we have also had a meeting in public. In fact, every time I went to Eric’s residence I would give him comic books that I either had or picked up. This was stated in a Twitter/X post made by me on March 31, 2025. I have also not been to his residence since July 2022. As we reside in the same neighborhood, which Eric knows to be true, it is reasonable that I would travel by your residence from time to time for various reasons.
…[2] sub was a fan of boss.. asked for a job and was hired however subj ended up hating boss…
… “Once the business started BACON asked for a job” …
I was never an employee of the Rippaverse and this assertions is refuted by the reporter in their meeting with the responding officer.
Based on my email correspondence with Rippaverse assistant Carrow Brown and text messages with you this is verifiably false. One of the emails between myself and Carrow Brown was posted to Twitter/X on March 31, 2025 that clearly demonstrates the above assertion to be untrue. I offered to assist Eric and the company and expressly stated that I was not seeking financial compensation nor looking to make a career change.
… “Eric witnessed BACON being rude to another employee and Eric felt BACON was not going to be a good fit for the company and didn’t hire him” …
This statement is entirely false. As of the date of this police report, the only Rippaverse employee I ever interacted with was Carrow Brown via email and none of the correspondence was “rude”. The only other interaction with a Rippaverse employee occurred in November 2024 via email with Alex Miller after winning a St. Jude Charity auction that was sponsored by your company. You know you will be unable to provide any evidence to the contrary that is either verbal or written that from any point in time in 2022 when this alleged “rude” behavior occurred.
… “BACON has a YouTube channel and has been bashing Eric and his business online as well as posting photos of his home and business” …
This is a clear embellishment and appears to be an attempt to establish some sort of motive in an attempt to have a warrant issued for my arrest. This was also done by you to Riley Mix in response to him making an appearance outside of Rippaverse Publishing. On the date of this report I too made an appearance at Rippaverse Publishing. As reflected in the photo that was taken by me from in front of the location I did not exit my vehicle and at no point did I approach the entrance as there is a No Trespassing sign. As indicated in the police report, the photo was taken from a public area.
Every statement I have made with regards to Eric or the Rippaverse business that has appeared online has been my thoughts based on the material that has been published by either your employees, such as Jen & Sylvia Soska, Eric July or Rippaverse employees. My numerous write ups regarding the Rippaverse business and its practices are based entirely on material posted by Eric or Rippaverse employees. I have gone out of my way to provide the sources of which all of my thoughts and business analysis are based. The visit to the warehouse was to determine if statements you made on a live stream with Nick Reiketa regarding the accessibility of the warehouse were accurate. Again, this was done in response to statements and assertions that you made in public. As referenced in the police report this was done from a public space and the entrance to your business was never approached. To date, I have not returned to the warehouse since the 2/8/24 visit.
With regards to the part of the statement that I have posted photos of Eric’s home, this is entirely false and unverifiable by Eric or any Rippaverse employee.
… [11] [Notification] [Police]- Problem changed from Harassment-P to Meet with Complainant-P by Police” …
… “However, if BACON is engaging in harassing behavior, then it could escalating to a criminal offense” …
This statement makes it clear that the call to the Plano police was that the individual who made this report intended the filing of this report to lead to harassment charges.
The report, which has now been made public via police record and social media platforms portrays me in a negative and demeaning manner and is based on verifiably false and embellished information. Pursuant to Civil Practice and Remedies Code Title 4. Liability in Tort Chapter 73. Libel Subchapter A. General Provisions. I am formally requesting, as I did in my March 31, 2025 Twitter/X post and again in a Reddit post that was posted to Twitter/X on April 2, 2025, that you address each of the bolded claims and make the appropriate corrections, clarifications, or retractions as appropriate and as required by the statues. I have copied the pertinent statutes below for reference.
In the event that this request is not met or challenged within the time frames outlined in the below statutes I will be moving forward with a civil suit as my obligation to make this request within the allotted time frame from the date of my discovery of the referenced police report that includes the alleged defamatory statements will have been met. Per the referenced statutes I will provide you with physical copies of any information I have that supports my assertions upon request.
