I still have so many questions and I hope we get the answers.
Some educated guesses are starting to form based on what we do know.
I think Zack Smith thinks he’s telling the truth when he says he did not hit her and has wrongly convinced himself that even if it was defensive it makes it OK. The pictures support that
It sounds like he worked really hard with urban to convince him that the relationship was toxic that it was a two-way street, and there’s a decent chance that that is actually true, but again does not excuse 1 ounce of his behavior Often when there is this level of hatred it’s usually because both people know how to press the others buttons and there are other aspects involved such as alcohol or drugs or whatever. That might be why Shelley Meyer tried to convince Courtney Smith to press charges which we actually have proof of. Because they were getting two opposite sides of the story and OSU was unsure of what to do. It sounds like for the long period of time Courtney admitted that she did not share the physical part of the abuse with urban’s wife. She also then expressed that others including her own family advising her to not press forward because it would cost her her major source of income
That’s why I actually believe Zach Smith when he says that urban Meyer said if you hit her you are gone Because up to that point Zack was telling him he did not hit her and Courtney was telling Shellt that he did but she did not want to press charges.
I also think that when Meyer answered that question at big 10 media days he was specifically referring to a text he got that said that Zack Smith had been arrested in 2015 per the reporters original Facebook post.
That’s why he said when they looked into it there was nothing there because at that point there was nothing there
Why he opened his big mouth and expanded that to give the impression that he knew nothing about 2015 is beyond me. He probably went off script and clearly that was a huge mistake
I am going to assume that it was all properly reported because I’m fairly confident he would not release a statement and say that it was when they could be so easily disproven
I really want to hear what his wife says about this series of event.
