Charity Confirms That Jacob Fatu Situation Is Resolved

The Jake's Network of Hope (JNOH) non-profit organisation has confirmed that the situation with Jacob Fatu has been resolved.

JNOH alleged that Fatu paid a $2,663 booking fee, as well as being provided with a plane ticket and hotel accommodations, to perform at a pro-wrestling fundraiser event in 2023, only to cancel due to a 'family emergency' and then not pay back the money.

JNOH had recently said that the situation was being resolved privately and, in an update, now confirm that the matter has been put to bed.

In a statement to Fightful, JNOH acknowledged that Fatu sent a payment to them on June 22 that the organisation had missed.

The statement reads:

"In May, Jacob Fatu reached out with a heartfelt apology, initiating a meaningful dialogue that allowed us to work together with all parties involved to find solutions and fully resolve the matter. This event aimed to confront the challenging realities of poverty and the immense obstacles to overcoming it. While not everything unfolded perfectly, we are grateful for the awareness raised around diaper need and the substantial costs of providing essential products to families.

"We especially want to thank NOW Wrestling for their incredible support. Their commitment to raising awareness, along with their generous donation of 50/50 raffle proceeds from recent events, has been invaluable in advancing our mission to end diaper need. We’re also deeply appreciative of the wrestling organizations and media outlets that helped spotlight this cause, underscoring the importance of addressing poverty and meeting basic needs

"As Jacob Fatu embarks on his WWE journey, we wish him every success and are inspired by the solidarity shown across the wrestling community in support of this critical mission".

The 32-year-old is currently embroiled in the saga of The Bloodline on WWE television. Despite the reaction a recent face-off between Fatu and Bron Breakker received, WWE reportedly have no plans to book that match.
