As long as I’ve lived, I have never touched my mother, my father, or a dog. Never. How that ever happened… between us, my mother was very ill. She was on major drugs and drink for the pain.

And these people from this cult or whatever, were trying to get everything. Ask me how much they did get.

At the same time, Stan also denied all the accusations by Harper. In a statement following the allegation, he stated,
I mean, she’s my daughter. I’m her father. Sometimes we may disagree about something, but we disagree on things like I did with my wife. I wish that everyone would be as abusive to me as JC
