All I know for sure is that STP must have one of the worst PR representatives as they are always way behind on responding to anything and even when they do come out, some statements are tone deaf like when Scott died and they released a one sentence confirmation late in the day.
Who knows when we will get a response from Dean. But silence is deafening and public opinion will be swayed against his favor if he doesn't refute or at least apologize and announce that he is getting treatment.
