MAST responds to MCC statement that denies “claims of systemic abuse”

On February 5, 2025, MCC posted a public statement in which the organization defends its decision to terminate John and Anicka’s employment in August 2023, “unequivocally” denies “claims of systemic abuse,” and emphasizes MCC’s integrity and care for staff in “difficult and complex situations.”

MAST finds this statement misleading, insulting, and harmful.

John and Anicka say, “by leaving out the most significant pieces of our story (our reports of abuse, the NDA, and the harsh and vicious character of the termination), MCC’s entire story becomes grotesquely misleading.”
