UnderGround Forum >> keenan's family urging him to leave lloyd

Keenan is master Lloyd's star pupil, his father went on facebook and publically asked him to severe ties with Lloyd Irvin

"Personally, I want my son out of that environment and far away from the whole scene. What I've heard and experienced recently and over the last month or so has convinced me that there are far, far better situations and people to be involved with --and while good things have come from involvement up to this point, the situation is far from ideal and I want my family far away from it all.
Keenan was a very talented BJJ practitioner before he moved to Maryland --and will continue to shine, I'm sure. I do not want the stain of the piss poor judgment and violence committed by those involved to attach itself to Keenan's reputation --and my opinion is that he should, out of principle, immediately resign from the team and go involve himself with a new group of peers and friends."

which prompted replies from the Lloyd Irvin camp

DJ Jackson - "you have to realize your telling one of the people I consider a brother to leave his family. Leave his family for the actions of 2 people who have not even been a part of our family for very long. 2 people allegedly did something atrocious but we as a whole Team Lloyd Irvin had nothing to do with that 3 people and 3 people only where involved in what happened. And we have all given and are giving our support to our sister who was harmed."

"As for Master Lloyd I feel he owes no one an explanation for what happened because he was found not guilty by a jury of his peers. That means he is innocent of any crime. Why should an innocent man explain himself for something he didn't do"
 

From Marcos Avellan  -

"Chloe, you are writing on a public forum something that should be private with Keenan. Nobody wants to answer you truthfully because you are his sister, myself included. The reality is that the lack of support your family is showing for a team that has done so much for your Keenan is disgusting.

What do you know about Master Lloyd Irvin? He has put a roof over your brother's head for years now, he has poured his heart and soul of martial arts into him, he has taken him ALL OVER THE WORLD (how much did your Dad pay for his current trip to Brazil?), he has given him counsel as a man, and has welcomed and loved him like family.

Now what you DO NOT KNOW about Master Lloyd? What happened in that apartment 22 years ago. You weren't there.

So what do you and your family do? You decide to crucify him publicly. Awesome.

It makes me wonder if your family has any skeletons in their closet from the past 25 years
