Connor Bedard criticizes what is written about his mother.
They are all bad rumors on the Internet.
“Of course it affected me and my family,” says Bedard, according to the Chicago Sun Times.
There has been a lot of writing about 38-year-old NHL veteran Corey Perry in recent days.
First, the Chicago Blackhawks announced that Perry's contract would be terminated effective immediately due to “unacceptable behavior” and then he himself spoke out about his drinking problems.
“I began working with mental health and substance abuse experts to discuss my problems with alcohol,” Perry said.
Reputation in social media
The behavior that led to Perry's firing was the subject of speculation in the American media.
Above all, she has gained a good reputation on social media.
It concerns Perry having sex with Connor Bedard's 18-year-old mother, Melanie.
Bedard speaks
Now Connor Bedard, who was teammates with Corey Perry during the fall, feels forced to deny the rumors himself.
– It's just a lot of bullshit on the Internet. Of course it affected me and my family, but who cares? It's out of our control. “It's all just fake, made-up bullshit,” Bedard said, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.
Bedard reportedly became upset when asked further questions about the matter.
-Things spread and people want to joke. It is clear that what happened to Perry is serious, and the most important thing is that he and his family are fine. This is not good, but it is out of our control. “I don't need to talk more about this,” Bedard says.
