Within the past few days I have been hearing some horrible rumors and outright LIES about myself and today on my recent news page, I can confirm that these have been started by my own brother through jealousy.
I can confirm that I am taking legal action against him for both libel and slander and have taken legal advice from a friend who is an ex-lawyer and used to be one of the UK's top lawyers. The decision on whether or not to take legal action has been a hard one but a decision I know that I won't regret. The reasons behind the decision are as follows:
My brother has not just done this to me but they are causing chaos for so many other family members through their social media posts and this seems the only legal way to stop them.
I want to reiterate what I have said before about rumors - if it doesn't come from my official sources DO NOT BELIEVE IT.
Regards,
Ben Rist

The decision on whether or not to take legal action has been a hard one but a decision I know that I won't regret. The reasons behind the decision are as follows:
- I have a public image that I need to keep and this could ruin my reputation
- That my brother and his girlfriend realise that lying will not be apart of my family and they will realise what they have done.
