Brian Kelly denies allegations of neglect, abandonment in Greg Brooks case

LSU head coach Brian Kelly has refuted claims made by Greg Brooks Jr. and his father, Greg Brooks Sr., regarding the coach's lack of support following Brooks Jr.'s surgery for a brain tumor. In an interview on 'Good Morning America,' Brooks Sr. asserted that neither he nor his son had heard from Kelly or the coaching staff since October 2023, after Brooks Jr. underwent emergency surgery in September due to a rare form of brain cancer. Kelly responded by stating that these claims were 'factually incorrect' and emphasized that he and his staff were in regular contact during Brooks Jr.'s recovery. The ongoing lawsuit against LSU alleges negligence in the handling of Brooks Jr.'s medical condition, which reportedly led to multiple strokes and left him permanently disabled. Kelly expressed his love and support for Brooks Jr., asserting his involvement and care throughout this ordeal. The situation remains contentious as both sides present differing accounts amid the litigation.
