Hannah Neeleman, a distinguished ballet dancer, has voiced her indignation on her social media platforms regarding a recent article that she deems to be an unjust attack on her family and marriage. The contentious piece was originally hosted on a well-known entertainment news platform but has been removed following the backlash.
The now-deleted article was penned by an unnamed writer who made numerous baseless allegations concerning Neeleman’s private life, including her marriage to businessman and pilot Brandon Neeleman, and the rearing of their children. It even went as far as disparaging Neeleman’s family, implying a lack of support for her professional endeavors.
On Instagram, Neeleman fervently defended her family and marriage, denouncing the piece as a “profile attack” and an “unprovoked assault.” She expressed her devastation and repulsion, stating, “The claims made in this article are not only false but also deeply hurtful and damaging. My husband and I share a strong, loving relationship, and our children are nurtured in a joyful and secure environment.”
She further highlighted her family’s unwavering support throughout her career. “My family is my rock. They have always pushed me to follow my passions and have stood by my side all along. The suggestion that they don’t support me is not just untrue but profoundly offensive.”
Support poured in massively from Neeleman’s followers after her post, with many extending messages of support and encouragement while others criticized the media outlet responsible for publishing the original piece, demanding an apology and accountability.
Following the negative reception, the entertainment news outlet withdrew the article from their platform and issued a formal apology, regretting any distress it might have caused the ballet dancer and her loved ones. “We regret the publication of the article and the harm it may have caused to Hannah Neeleman and her family. Measures have been taken to prevent similar incidents in the future,” they stated.
While Neeleman has yet to respond directly to the apology from the website, she has expressed her appreciation for the overwhelming support received from her admirers. “Thank you to everyone who has reached out to me with kind words and messages of support. Your love and encouragement mean the world to me.”
