Parker has addressed this claim, requesting privacy while he navigates what he calls a \"private matter.\" Marawa stated that he spoke to Parker earlier that day, following a caller's question about Parker's dismissal from TS Galaxy. Marawa confirmed that Parker mentioned the Instagram post was not from him and that his phone had been inaccessible for 14 days due to unauthorized access. Parker released a statement through his foundation, urging the media and public to avoid spreading unverified information about his personal life and to respect his \"dignity and the wellbeing of everyone involved, especially his children.\" Parker also indicated he would not engage in public discussions or respond to the details at this time, reserving his judgment on the matter.",
