Just hours after suspended Michigan State football coach Mel Tucker said Monday that allegations of sexual harassment against him are “completely false,” his accuser, activist and rape survivor Brenda Tracy, took to social media to call his statement a lie.

“This is just more of the same DARVO (Deny, Attack, and Reverse Victim and Offender), deflection, victim blaming and lies that I’ve been dealing with now for months,” she posted on “X,” the social media platform formerly known as Twitter.

“Coach Tucker has been delaying and trying to stop the investigative process since the beginning. He can’t afford to go to a hearing that determines credibility of the participating parties. I believe this statement is his way of getting out of participating in the hearing.”

In a two-page statement released by a Detroit law firm, Tucker sharply criticized Tracy for suggesting their relationship was anything but consensual and ripped the months-long investigation into his behavior as deeply flawed.

“I can only conclude that there is an ulterior motive designed to terminate my contract based on some other factor such as a desire to avoid any (Larry) Nasser taint, or my race or gender,” said Tucker, who is Black.

The university was fined $4.5 million four years ago by the Education Department for failing to adequately respond to sexual assault complaints against Larry Nassar, a campus sports doctor who molested elite gymnasts and other female athletes. The school has also settled lawsuits filed by Nassar victims for $500 million.

Michigan State athletic director Alan Haller suspended Tucker without pay Sunday, less than 24 hours after Tracy’s allegations became public in a USA Today report.

The university hired a Title IX attorney to investigate Tracy’s complaint and the investigation concluded July 25. A hearing is scheduled for the week of Oct. 5 to determine if Tucker violated the school’s sexual harassment and exploitation policy.

“October 5th and 6th, I will be present for the hearing and make myself available for cross examination by his attorney Jennifer Belveal,” Tracy said. “I invite him to do the same.”
