Adrian Peterson has come forward to clear his name of accusations that he used money from his charitable organizations to fund a wild night in a hotel with himself, two family members, and four women.
The Minnesota Vikings player took to Twitter to refute claims released by the Minnesota Star Tribune that says his uncle confessed to paying for a hotel with Peterson’s All Day Inc. fund to host an orgy.
Peterson tweeted his frustrations with the media and listed some of the incorrect statements:
It’s SAD how people these days will believe anything reported by media sources that don’t take the time to be GREAT!!!

The All Day Foundation has since folded and donated over a million dollars to other charities.
Before the player went on his Twitter rant, Peterson’s attorney Rusty Hardin also released a statement on his behalf:
“There is no question that prior to 2011, issues existed with the administration of Adrian’s foundation. When this was brought to his attention, Adrian made changes to the organization and brought in new leadership,” Peterson’s attorney Rusty Hardin said in a statement. He said the charity has since donated more than $1.4 million to various causes, including many that benefit children. “Adrian and his family are understandably proud of the foundation and the good work that it has done and continues to do,” Hardin added.
Peterson is expected to appear in court Wednesday over child abuse allegations after beating his five-year-old son with a switch.
