Sportswire In response to the controversy that her appearance on a podcast this week created, Charissa Thompson is speaking out. Thompson stated that
she needed to “address the elephant in the room” in an Instagram story.has “an obligation to explain what is being reported, both to myself and to my

was too late and then I would make up the report.” I decided to just make this up because I didn’t want to ruin the report.
