Why this petition matters

Started by Frank R

I am demanding action be taken to convince TLC and Discovery+ issue a public apology and stop giving a platform to Syngin Colchester, a recent 90-Day Fiancé cast member, make sure he is edited out of any future episodes, and that his appearance on the spin-off "The Single Life" is cancelled.

Syngin Colchester has been recently accused of sexual assault by an anonymous woman who goes by "Valerie," a former Syngin fan who frequently posted to Syngin's Instagram content. Syngin was cast by TLC as a wholesome, carefree "hippie" type and has gained many fans for his so-called laid back attitude, love of nature and optimistic worldview. Syngin took notice of Valerie on the social media platform and the two made plans to meet in New York, after which they began a brief relationship that quickly turned abusive. These allegations have recently been confirmed by Syngin's former 90-Day Fiancé co-star and partner Tania Maduro.

TLC is being bombarded by folks demanding accountability instead of turning a blind eye or sitting on the issue (as they have done in the past) and we need to keep this momentum going. Please join me in demanding justice.

UPDATE: Colchester has allegedly disabled his Instagram comments and has made no public statements outside of an Instagram post from December where he rants about "haters" getting us "paid:"

"I am wild and free and I feel my spirit is screaming at me to watch out for the next girl whooooooever she hahaha..
But bring it on universe and let's gooooo..

Ooo and f@&k the haters (fun fact)its the haters that get us paid soooo keep hating and making more drama when there is non hahaha thanks"

A recent search for Syngin Colchester's name on TLC's website turns up few results, so it's possible they are finally investigating the matter and perhaps engaging in some damage control, but we can't yet be sure. Syngin is apparently still set to be featured, however, on "The Single Life," a 90-Day Fiancé spinoff.

TLC and its parent company, Discovery+, are notoriously difficult to contact, so it's up to us to spread this petition on social media as well as by word of mouth to as many people as we can. They will not listen to us until we put enough shame and pressure on them publicly via Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and any other social media platform and demand that they take corrective action.

Let's keep the pressure on TLC to cancel him for good, and remind them of their responsibility to the public as a global source of entertainment media to speak out against sexual misconduct, and use their position to get the message out that domestic abuse is never something to be taken lightly, and NEVER something to profit off of – and that it will not be tolerated.
