About this episode
Send us Fan MailIām back with PART 2 of my coverage of former Officer Tatumās interview with Tamera Nealy, and after watching the FULL interview, Iām laughing even harder. š
In Part One, I reacted to the preview clip where Tatum appeared to be preparing to come after me for DEFAMATION over statements Iāve made while covering the Nolan Xavier Wells case. But after sitting through the entire interview, I can confidently say this may be one of the most embarrassing interviews Iāve watched from former Officer Tatum.
And there is A LOT to unpack.
Tamera opens the interview by selling T-shirts within the first few minutes. Why does that matter? Because these same people repeatedly say this is about getting to the bottom of what happened to Nolan Wells, yet somehow merchandise and fundraising continue to find their way into the conversation.
Tamera then asks Tatum why Black people are supposedly upset that he went to Horn Island, which completely misses the criticism many of us have actually made.
They eventually get into my video about Tatum allegedly being āfiredā by Nolanās former friends, but things get even more interesting when Tatum addresses the Nancy Grace and Johnny Hewitt situation.
Tatum actually acknowledges that the Nancy Grace preview clip was misleading and admits that he made a mistake when he interviewed Johnny Hewitt. Iāll give him credit for admitting it. Tatum even says he met with his team afterward and told them they needed to be more careful going forward.
Then we get to the MONEY.
Tatum criticizes Christine and Elmore Wells and Benjamin Crump over the familyās GoFundMe, arguing that this shouldnāt be about raising money. But thereās a major problem with that argument. Nolanās former friends have their own GiveSendGo fundraiser that has raised a substantial amount of money.
Then comes what I believe may have been a VERY interesting slip while Tatum was discussing Nolanās autopsy, which the Mississippi DA has said would be sealed.
Tatum also appears to confirm something Iāve suspected for a while: there may be trouble in paradise between him and Nancy Grace. During this interview, he describes Nancy as a āsensationalist,ā and weāre going to talk about what that could mean.
But the BIGGEST moment comes near the end.
Former Officer Tatum makes a statement that I believe raises serious questions about his position on what someone should do if they have information relevant to an investigation. His comments appear to suggest that a person should lawyer up, keep their mounth shut rather than simply go speak to police. I have A LOT to say about that.
Weāre breaking down the FULL Tatum and Tamera Nealy interview, the contradictions, the admissions, the Nancy Grace comments, the fundraising discussion, the autopsy moment and what I believe was Tatumās biggest mistake of the entire interview.https://www.trentoutloud.com/Ā
