Ex-LSU Tennis Player Jade Lewis: Coach Lied About Drake Davis Abuse Allegations

Former LSU tennis player Jade Lewis refuted a statement made by co-head tennis coach Julia Sell regarding the coach's response to dating violence committed by Tigers football player Drake Davis.

Lewis shared a statement Thursday on Twitter saying Sell had knowledge of the allegations levied by her players:

"I was betrayed by Coach Sell, and I will not stand by and allow her to deny knowledge of what I went through, when in reality she knew the full truth and simply chose to stand by," Lewis wrote. "As details of the sexual misconduct within LSU continue to come to light, my hope is that LSU Athletics changes course and decides to be transparent and remorseful rather than continuing to create cover-ups and false narratives.
