According to AA, Ballard engaged in the following troublesome behaviors:
- Failing to meet the payment terms he agreed to when she joined The Spear Fund
- Telling her he wanted to shoot himself in the head
- Telling his “henchman” Radd Barrett to make threats against FT, which Barrett allegedly followed through on via a voice message
- Lifting up her clothes in a private hotel room, telling her she had a “hot body,” and imitating sex acts on a bed
- Having strippers give himself and AA “couples messages” that involved AA being vaginally penetrated
- Leaving her alone during ops with multiple traffickers in the room who photographed her
AA states that Ballard violated, isolated, manipulated, and guilt-tripped her for his own gain. She also believes the OUR founder’s request for her to join The Spear Fund was a covert way of shielding himself from other women accusing him of misconduct.
AA additionally maintains that OUR failed to stop any of the alleged conduct from Ballard or offer her any support. Instead, the organization that promotes itself as saving women and kids from sex trafficking allegedly placed AA in positions to increase Ballard’s access to her.
