He wrote: ‘Hey guys, what a long week it’s been. I’m embarrassed to have to address this and never imagined I’d be here writing this.

‘Over the past few days, I’ve received a number of hateful messages regarding accusations from last week that are currently circulating the internet.

‘So I would like to address this from my side and give clarity that the narrative circulating about me is 100% untrue. 

‘Never in my life have I been homophobic and any insinuation of this is extremely wrong & hurtful.

‘I am truly saddened to hear that someone was upset that evening but this has nothing to do with me. I wasn’t even present at the time of this incident/ misunderstanding.

‘We live in a society where everyone wants to consider mental health and look out for one another, yet there is still some people online who have clearly forgotten how impactful their words can be and just jump on bandwagons.

‘Everyone is so quick to judge and believe and hear things they hear and read even if its untrue. 

‘We really need to realise how powerful words can be and find out the real facts before coming at people, especially with people with high platforms as its these people who has pushed this false narrative onto my name and influence the way people think. 

‘This is all I have to say on the matter and I hope it brings you lot of closure.’

Following the accusations, Mitch also spoke out on TikTok and confirmed that the situation had nothing to do with Zach.
