“Our son has recently made statements that do not align with his or our family’s true character or beliefs. Our family unequivocally does not support any statements (Garcia) has made about race or religion – they do not reflect who Ryan really is and how he was raised. Anyone who knows Ryan can attest to this fact. Ryan has been open about his ongoing struggle with mental health over the years and as a family we are committed to ensuring and encouraging that he receives the help he needs to navigate this challenging time and address his immediate well-being and long term. We appreciate your continued support, prayers and compassion.”
