“I never observed anything abusive about her parenting,” Aubry reportedly wrote.

Aubry reportedly claimed that she has never seen her mother physically abuse Maceo.
“I have seen my mom and Maceo playfully wrestle, tickle each other, and roll around laughing on the floor or on a bed many times,” Aubry wrote. “I have never seen my mom hit, slap, choke, grab, or physically abuse Maceo in any way.”
“I have never seen my mom place her hands around Maceo’s neck, put him in a chokehold, restrict his breathing, or engage in any conduct remotely resembling the allegations that have been made against her,” she continued.
“I have never seen Maceo hurt, upset, cry or do anything but laugh after his and my mom’s playful wrestling.”

“She attended his games, drove him to practices and tournaments, and advocated for his education and access to medical treatment and therapy,” she wrote. “She celebrates our successes, supports us through challenges, and is always there when we need her.”
“I never doubted my mom’s love for me,” Aubry added. “She consistently provided me with stability, support, guidance, and unconditional love.”
