After the Demuth bullshit, I straight up messaged him twice on facebook about it and he said, 'Enough, let it go'.  I said, ok, I'll let it go when you let your shit with Davy Coombs go, and the fucking pussy blocked me.  He's a hypocrite POS and he knows it.  There's your hero.....

What was the Demuth bullshit?

The news of Demuth's death broke and Kooksey couldn't fucking wait to go on Youtube and insinuate that he killed himself.  Guess what, he didn't, but Kooksey never apologized, or said he was wrong, or any of that shit because he is pure trash, PERIOD!

There seems to be two kinds of people when it comes to this clown.

One group apparently thinks the 90% absolute clickbait BS is tolerable because he's "close to the truth" every once in a while.

The other group thinks because he literally makes stuff up and fabricates sources, NOTHING he says can be trusted.

It's easy to watch a dude on a YouTube video and think oh well, he's kinda close to correct every once in a while, I'll keep watching.

If this guy was actually IN your life, no chance in hell any of you would tolerate his narcissistic National Enquirer BS lol

If someone tried to sue Cooksey I'm guessing he'd use the "this is just entertainment - no rational person would see it as anything more" defense.

Funny how instead of taking down the video where he blindly dragged Herlings name through the mud he just made another video to profit off of clearing it up. What a fucking clown. How the guy has any supporters is beyond me.

Cmon bro. He said Deegan signed with Star before anyone else did, there’s all the proof you need that he’s a reliable source of info.

It's nuts to me that in 2025 people still don't know how to use the internet. Took very little time to find reliable sources that say she's 30. So your options here are that cooksey is very stupid, or he didn't try at all to verify anything before he put it out, or both. 

I suspect he knew what he was saying was bullshit which is why he hedged, but he pays his bills by feeding low IQ viewers this trash so be didn't care. 

Anyone trying to get info out there who gives it to cooksey is telling on themselves. Would have to be insane to trust this guy to protect you as a source. Checks out with the few people that are known to be sources like mirtl. 

The 90% of what he says number is a joke..... I think what you mean is that 90% of the time there are actual industry people who believe the same nonsense, but that doesn't make any of it true.

It’s common sense, people knew, fans even knew at the time that Herlings was seeing Tonus’ sister, it was common knowledge. If the then current MX2 world champion was dating a 12 year old I think that is something people would have known about. 

Sometimes I think he does make stuff up, yeah. He brought Herlings into the matter that has nothing to do with him for example. I don’t doubt that people tell him stuff, but does he ever verify the information?

He didn’t run with it. He said he needed to look into it to see if it was true or not, and that he needed to verify her age before he would say anything bad about Herlings. 

If you’re going to comment on the video, maybe at least watch it.

Looking into it is the thing that credible people do BEFORE they put a video on the internet talking about it. Not sure why you're having such a hard time grasping this.

So why bring it up at all if he didn't verify her age? The fact you're defending this is wild.

It takes more effort to MAKE the video than it does to verify her age. The answer is he wants clicks and doesn't care how he gets them.

"The retraction NEVER gets the traction of the action"

He's a clown who somehow rarely gets tiny nuggets of truth, that's all. You support the fliers at Vegas SMX last year too?

Unbelievable...He ran a story that he didn't have accurate info on because he either was too lazy or to stupid to figure out how to verify her age (again Mertl is his closest source) and was in too big of a hurry to get his hit piece out...if only this was not the norm for him then people may give him the benefit of the doubt....but this has been his standard operating procedure which is why he has zero credibility with the majority....

   Where do you think he hears these thing from? Do you think he just pulls something out of his ass and goes with it? Absolutely not. 

 Listen, because I’m about to break a huge story, people call him. They call him with stuff because they want it out there but they don’t want to be associated with it getting out there. Some pretty big names have leaked stuff to him.

lmfao, how you can type up some shit like this and think it’s helping your point is incredible.

Most people would do the whole “looking into it / verification” part prior to posting a video insinuating that someone’s a pedophile.

He has a shoot first, ask questions later attitude to everything. As soon as he gets a nugget of information, he just runs with it and puts it out there as if it’s fact. There is so much speculation and such a lack of actual proof, that no matter how close he is to the truth (and I’m sure on occasion, he is pretty close),  it makes him incredibly difficult to believe.

To come out and say what he said about Herlings without doing his due diligence is insane. He seems to not realise that he’s talking about actual people, and what he says has implications on those people. I have no time at all for his style of ‘reporting’. Most of it is just gossip and drama that most of us have no need to know about 

Yea exactly, its one thing if you have a shoot first fill in the blanks later attitude when it comes to saying who signed to what team. Thats whatever, but having a shoot first attitude with calling someone a pedo is sooooooo beyond ridiculous its borderline criminal. Its hard to be surprised or outraged by anything these days when we live in an outrage sells economy, but this was friggin OUTRAGEOUS. He should be blackballed for life over this, you dont just casually call some guy a pedo, then go oopsie guess I was wrong. Absolutely insane guy is never getting a view from me again.

He took a clear joke post of Hearlings about kidnapping and said something along the lines of Hearlings is making threats of kidnapping a minor.  I clicked off the video at that point.  It was a clear joke with laughing emoje and he was trying to say that it was something serious. 

 

 How easy would it have been to just wait a day and check into it before throwing it out there . How many people will see that first video and never see the second. And just go on thinking that Hearlings was dating a 12 year old? Its not worth being the first to report something that nobody else is going to report, if Your going to be wrong on details.  For all we know he knew the other site was wrong and ran the video for clicks, planning on running the video " clearing" him after.   

 

  That riding coach from CT he was talking about , was a thread on her. And according to the info in the thread  the girl was 16 and the coach was 18 or 19.  Cooksie was saying she was 15 and he was 20. The only reason it became against the law was because he was a coach. Had she not taken his class, it would have been legal.  

 

  I could be way off on all of these details, but I feel like living likle Coosie and just posting what I think might be close enough to the truth... Thats fine right?
