Skateboarding journalist Robert Brink has shared allegations concerning skateboard traveler and YouTube creator Jimmy Larsen, following an account from a woman who says she experienced abuse during their relationship.
Brink, who has been speaking publicly about allegations of abuse and misconduct within the skateboarding industry, recently posted an excerpt from an upcoming interview with Samantha Jo Keller, who says she dated Larsen for approximately a year and a half.
During the interview excerpt, Keller recounts several incidents that she describes as abusive. One account involves an incident in which Larsen allegedly ended up in the hospital, strapped to a bed and foaming at the mouth.
She also describes having to contact his mother during episodes that she says occurred throughout their relationship, asking her to help calm him down over the phone. Keller says Larsen was already in his 30s at the time.
