Greg Brooks Jr. attorneys release scathing rebuke of Brian Kelly’s recent comments

The situation between Greg Brooks Jr., Brian Kelly, and the LSU Tigers has led to public comments by both sides in recent days. That included comments that Kelly made regarding his relationship with Brooks since his initial diagnosis.

Now, the attorneys for Greg Brooks Jr. have released a statement on those recent comments.

“It was difficult for Greg Brooks Jr. to listen to LSU coach Brian Kelly say he was by his side through his ordeal and then accuse his father of making a false statement when the reality is that Coach Kelly has not contacted Greg Jr. in over 16 months,” the attorneys wrote. “Neither Coach Kelly nor LSU has denied what Greg’s father said during the GMA interview: that Greg has not heard from Coach Kelly since October 2023, long before the lawsuit was filed. LSU and Coach Kelly cannot deny this because it is true. Ironically, it was Coach Kelly who made factually inaccurate statements in March of 2024 when he told the media that Greg was walking, which obviously was not true. Coach Kelly would have known that had he simply picked up the phone and called.”

In September 2023, Brooks was forced to undergo emergency surgery to remove a tumor stemming from a rare form of brain cancer known as medulloblastoma. He was then forced to step away from the team and battle his newfound health condition.

A little over a year later, Brooks would sue LSU and its medical center. That was related to their alleged handling of him within the program and with these procedures, which reportedly led to multiple strokes, as they left him ‘permanently disabled.’ He now undergoes daily therapy to relearn how to write, speak, and eat.

“Greg. Jr. looks forward to having his day in court, where the truth will come to light, and in the meantime, he will be focusing on his health and recovery,” the statement concluded.

This story will be updated.
