After being implicated in the case against former NFL safety Darren Sharper, Detroit Lions running back Reggie Bush denied that he had any involvement in drugging women.
The Lions running back wants an apology, and the two reporters fired, or he’ll likely sue.
Shame on John Simerman & Ramon Vargas of The Advocate Newspaper 4 writing this false story! They should be fired for their irresponsibility!

I 100 percent intend to take legal action against The Advocate if they do not retract their LIE-FILLED article. Shame on you!

Bush’s statement comes after a report by John Simerman and Ramon Antonio Vargas of The Advocate in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in which Brandon Licciardi, a former sheriff’s deputy in St. Bernard Parish, alleged Bush gave women drugs at a club in Las Vegas in 2011:
“OK, um, I was in Vegas about three years ago and um, Reggie Bush put Molly in Champagne. He was handing out Molly on the dance floor to girls. Handing it out. Like giving it to them,” Licciardi said.
“And how do you know that?” asked James O’Hern, an investigator for the DA’s Office.
“Cause I saw it with my own eyes,” Licciardi responded.
