While celebrating Tuson Jewell’s birthday on July 7 th , Ari Fletcher gifted him $20,000, an act that made fans praise Ari and consider her a good friend. Things came to a halt when Tuson Jewell went online and claimed he was starting the processing to purchase a car with his $20,000 and found out that the funds were nonexistent. He went as far as to create a GoFundMe, claiming he was “heartbroken” and “betrayed” by his close
friend. He titled the fundraiser page, “Help Tuson Recover from a Heartbreaking Betrayal.”
On the GFM page he wrote, “I never thought I’d be in this position, but I’m reaching out for help after a heartbreaking betrayal. My ‘best friend’ promised me $20,000 for a down payment on a car as a birthday gift. Trusting her completely, I went ahead with the start of the car purchase, only to have her not give me anything.” He claims after the cameras stopped rolling, he came to find out that it was all a lie and instead, Fletcher gave him $10,000.
He concluded, “She wanted to tell me but they said she couldn’t risk not getting a good reaction out of me for the show and the internet. In the end, I received $0.00 from ‘my rock.’ It was all for clout and the media to benefit her financial gain and reputation. Now your generosity can make a world of difference. Any contribution, no matter how small, is deeply appreciated. I am so very grateful for your support and kindness during this challenging time.”
Ari Fletcher took to social media to clear her name, calling Tuson ungrateful. She claims he tried to do fraud and almost got all her money taken away from her. She went ahead to say he is lying and looking for sympathy. “33 years old begging. I offered you a space in my warehouse to start a podcast you didn’t want to, you wanted dinner with the don,” she wrote. “I got your teeth done, I got you on #theimpactATL and had to beg because
they didn’t want you on the show as main cast so we got you paid more, promoted your business, bought you jewelry, then we got you a quarter million deal to be on my new show. Like you ungrateful as fuck! Go get a job and leave me the fuck alone!”
She continued, “I got all your messages you said you wanted to end me and everybody would believe you coz you close to me. You threatened to tell all my personal business. You talked about me like you been plotting on me. People like you scare me.”
