By Dennis McCaslin - Today in Fort Smith
In yet another shocking development, multiple former subjects of the Pretend Podcast, hosted by Javier Leiva, have stepped forward with serious allegations against him, accusing the podcast host of harassment, deception, and spreading lies.
These troubling claims cast a dark shadow over the journalistic ethics and professional behavior of Leiva, who has built his podcast around uncovering “the truth” behind various true crime and human-interest stories.
The allegations paint a picture of a podcast host willing to use deceitful tactics to gather material, manipulate stories for dramatic effect, and pressure unwilling participants into contributing to his episodes. In addition to the harassment claims, some former subjects allege that Leiva deliberately fabricated aspects of their stories or took their words out of context to create a false narrative that suits the podcast’s sensationalist agenda.
Today in Fort Smith is currently in the process of gathering statements and evidence from those who have come forward. We are preparing an exclusive series of articles to expose Javier Leiva’s unethical behavior, both on and off the airwaves, and shed light on the darker side of his controversial podcast.
If you have been victimized by Leiva’s alleged misconduct, we encourage you to contact us immediately. We are not only committed to including your voice in our upcoming series but can also connect you with the attorney who is actively working to gather evidence and build a case against Leiva. Your story matters, and we are dedicated to ensuring that justice is served.
Stay tuned to Today in Fort Smith for further updates as we work to uncover the full extent of these allegations and expose the truth behind the Pretend Podcast.
