Charleston White, known for his blunt, crude, refreshing and often offensive commentary on social issues, did a complete about face concerning his position on the Karmelo Anthony stabbing of Austin Metcalf. White, who admits to not properly understanding the details of the case (including where, when and why the stabbing took place) has come out in support of suspect Karmelo Anthony after a meeting with the teenager’s family.

He even claims in a recent video clip, that he’s been in constant contact with Anthony’s father, Drew over the past few weeks and the teen will beat the charges and walk free. White apologizes to the Anthony family for his comments doubting the innocence of the 17-year-old honor student.
“I want to take the time to apologize to Karmelo Anthony’s family. I was wrong about that kid,” White says while looking visibly remorseful.
White not only flipped the script, but he also says that Karmelo Anthony should have offed both Austin Metcalf and brother Hunter, while calling for a race riot, describing Metcalf and his family as “racist peckerwoods.” White accused Jeff Metcalf of being a “wife beater.”
Charleston White Speaks To Karmelo Anthony’s Dad About Stabbing Of Austin Metcalf
White says he met with Anthony’s Dad and the family, who was recently accused by various sources of mishandling GiveSendGo money. Recently the family – who has raised over $500K in donations from people wanting to ensure that Anthony is tried fairly – asked that people reach down into their pockets and help them raise another $1.4M so they can relocate for safety reasons.
White Says Donation Money Frozen For Legal Fees
Needless to say, it wasn’t received that well by anyone or any race, but that doesn’t mean the family mishandled any funds or even had access to the money that was donated. White, however, says the donation money has been frozen because of accumulating lawyer’s fees, which would explain why they asked for more money.
White offered some clarity to the situation after he met with Anthony’s father and heard an account of how the stabbing transpired on that fateful day. According to white, Austin Metcalf and his brother were known bullies in town.
He says Anthony didn’t even know them, which contradicts earlier reports that the two had a history of some sort. White says, when the brothers noticed Anthony under the tent, they tried to force him to leave. He also admits that he didn’t read anything in the press on the subject because he was under the impression that Anthony brought the knife to school with him, which we know wasn’t the case because he was not a student there.

Social Media Reacts To Charleston White’s Change Of Heart About Austin Metcalf Death: White Accused Of Being On The Take
Of course, if White had any white fans prior to this revelation, then he lost a lot of them after making that video. Overall, pro-Karmelo supporters didn’t want White trying to step back over onto the other side and chastised him for not knowing any facts of the case.
“This is why you don’t speak on a situation without having the full story,” said one netizen, blasting White for not knowing any of the released facts.
Some on social media were outraged and still want to see Karmelo Anthony rot in prison. They weren’t buying White’s change of heart and accused him of being paid by the family to switch sides.
“Charlestown got paid to lie, probably from Karmelo’s father,” said one person on X.
“Charleston got some of that givesendgo money, I see.” agreed another.
“Spreading some of that donated money around now are they? Video could use some subtitles,” said a third skeptical person.
