Zeal just dropped his full counter-document + multi-tweet thread this morning posted by his family on his behalf while he remains hospitalized after his suicide attempt on April 9th.
>Doctors have him offline with no personal internet access, so his mom has been visiting, reading supportive messages aloud to him, and helping structure/post everything. He wrote most of it on a borrowed laptop while still in the hospital.
I spent time reading thru 10K+ word document and investigated every key section, timeline, verbatim quotes, and counters:
>Zeal explains the timeline:
>On April 8th when Ren dropped the 145+ page assault document
>he immediately signed off and started writing his defense
>because he says the claims were false.
>But within 24 hours, “many of my friends, co-workers, and those I looked up to the most, left, blocked, harassed and distanced themselves from me.”
>That “mass abandonment” before he could even respond caused him to spiral and attempt suicide that same night.
>He was hospitalized, and he’s still there.
>He thanks the people who reached out to his mom and waited for his side instead of instant cancellation: “Writing this document has been a painful, grueling and deeply humiliating experience… I need to share a lot of incredibly personal details about myself that I would rather have stayed private. However, I believe that sharing these details are necessary in order to defend my name.”
>Core claim: The RDC 2025 hotel encounters were mutual and consensual the entire time.
>They had known each other 5 years, flirted heavily beforehand
>Ren had been venting to him constantly about her own mental health struggles and past relationships.
>Detailed play-by-play from the doc (his version):
- Sept 3rd: Ren was crying in the lobby -> Zeal comforted her with hugs (with prior permission).
>She invited him to her room after crying again.
>She initiated the kiss (“Can I kiss you?”).
>They made out, interlocked fingers (he says not aggressive pinning
>When she said “it hurts,” he immediately stopped, asked if she was okay, and asked if he could try again — she said yes.
>No penetration that night.
>He was inexperienced, embarrassed by his performance, left briefly to wash up and provide aftercare, then came back.
>He even joked about writing a “Google Doc” about how bad he was at it.
- Sept 4th: They bought lube together (awkwardly).
>Second encounter was slower, at Ren’s pace, with more consent checks.
>Again no penetration, other activities.
>He slept over, they showered, talked affectionately, and she slept on his chest.
>Specific denials of Ren’s most graphic claims (verbatim counters):
- “I did not ‘pin her down’… The intention was not to pin her down, but to simply hold her hands.”
- “I did not finger Ren ‘aggressively’, just poorly. I did it slowly, and when she expressed discomfort, I stopped and asked if she was okay. I asked if I could try again and she said yes.” (Ren was guiding him visually by doing it herself.)
>No forcing finger down throat (his long hair accidentally fell in her mouth once).
>When she said “No” to something later, it was after the fact and in a “laughingly embarrassed tone” (he covered up immediately)
>He provided aftercare (washed them both up) and did not leave her “dismissive” or in distress.
>Strongest evidence he provides:
Post-RDC messages, Twitter posts, and explicit drawings from Ren that directly contradict an immediate assault narrative:
>Ren on Twitter shortly after: “And I’m rly glad u care a lot and didn’t try anything uncomfortable to me.”
>Compliments: “Ur so lovely and caring and handsome and smart and talented and cute and big n strong yet soft and gentle I never felt this special or this important to someone before.”
>She sent fantasies, explicit positive descriptions of the night, and drawings weeks later while they were thousands of miles apart.
>Zeal argues: if it was assault, why did she repeat and describe the encounters positively for weeks afterward?
>Why he cut contact:
After RDC, Ren disclosed their private intimacy to multiple people (six), and team members against his explicit wishes (major breach of trust).
>She also harassed other team members (uncomfortable DMs, following, etc.).
>He tried to slowly distance without triggering her self-harm
>No team complicity: “No other team members were present during the encounters, and those who learned about it learned it from Ren afterwards.”
>Conclusion in the doc: He owns his communication failures and blurred professional/personal lines but refuses the “assault” label.
>He says Ren may now genuinely feel it was non-consensual due to trauma/retroactive processing (especially with her mental health history), but the contemporaneous messages and her own words at the time show otherwise.
>He’s not dismissing her feelings but providing full context so people can see both sides.
>This is the most detailed “he said/she said” we’ve gotten yet — raw post-event evidence, full timeline, and specific rebuttals to every major claim in Ren’s document. It directly challenges the assault narrative with what Zeal says is proof of mutual enjoyment and ongoing positive communication.
>At the same time, trauma responses (fawning, people-pleasing, delayed reframing) are very real, especially with the mental health struggles both have openly discussed.
>>This whole thing is messy, complicated, and devastating for everyone involved.
>Still hospitalized
>No personal internet
>Family posting.
>He asks the community to stop the harassment and pile-ons on either side until more facts come out.
-Here's things that “don’t make sense” for from my view-
>Zeal: Ren actively asked “Can I kiss you?”, smiled/giggled, guided him.
>Ren: limp, nonverbal, dissociated, crying for hours.
>Zeal says accidental hickeys on day 2 during “consensual” round. Doesn’t fully explain Ren’s bruise photos.
> He says he distanced because Ren “harassed” team and broke trust.
>Ren says it was sudden abandonment trauma right after the events.
>Doc is way more polished than Zeal’s usual chaotic style.
>Parents helped write/structure it while he’s hospitalized.
It's another tough he-said/she-said situation....
Legally and ethically, consent has to be freely given in the moment. Consent can be withdraw at any point.
No one is definitively “in the right” here... and we probably never will be without a court, full unedited evidence, or third-party witnesses.
>What’s your take now that we have Zeal’s full side, the raw post-RDC messages, and the detailed counters?
>Have you read the entire new doc yet?
>Drop your thoughts below.
