Nick LoPiccolo isn’t backing off. If anything, he just doubled down.

Following his earlier Twitter barrage aimed at AEW and Tony Khan, the former Paradigm executive posted a lengthy new update that adds serious personal and professional context to why he believes this situation goes far beyond online drama. And this time, he didn’t just accuse — he detailed timelines, cited alleged phone calls, referenced reporters, and attached screenshots meant to show what he claims has been happening behind the scenes for months.

LoPiccolo began by explaining that X/Twitter is not even where the people who matter in his world engage with his content, arguing that the outrage campaign only exists in a very specific bubble.

“btw, this is what my clients, friends, family, rivals, colleagues and former colleagues read/view. instagram. not x. no one gives a flying f*ck about x except for tony khan and the cult of aew which starts with @WONF4W @davemeltzerWON but it doesn't end there.”

Nick clarified that his issue is not with AEW fans or people who enjoy the product — but with what he believes is a coordinated ecosystem of media, influence, and narrative control.

“i don't fault anyone for liking aew. i do fault you if you are caught up in this sick shit. the awards especially from dirt sheets, i have no problem with @Fightful or @SInow for giving aew awards. i have a problem with tony leaning into the awards, because it leans into and it amplifies this tribalistic bullshit that clearly is intended and attempted to ruin people's lives.”

Nick then revealed that, according to him, industry whispers about his job status started before his Paradigm departure was even public.

“i got so many of these fucking texts this week — off the record: as early as last thursday I was asked if you still work where you worked. meltzer and others were confident you were ‘let go’ — does that sound normal to you?”

From there, the tone turned sharply personal. LoPiccolo described a July 13 post featuring his five-year-old daughter at WWE Evolution that he says was targeted by a flood of harassment.

“does the way that my x blew up after a july 13 post, with a photo of my beautiful 5 year old girl Lorraine giving a thumbs up at #WWEEvolution — it is now at 300,000 views and there are 100+ comments and quote tweets, with incorrect arrest records spamming that one post… sound normal to you?”

He explained that the fake arrest record being circulated didn’t even match him. But according to LoPiccolo, it didn’t end there.

“about a 30 year old, 6'1" 275 lbs. Nicholas Anthony LoPiccolo, supposedly arrested in San Jacinto, CA for spousal abuse and domestic abuse… my response was that no one would ever believe i am 6'1" — and that should have ended this.”

“there were 80-150 comments/or quote tweets tagging child protective services, fbi, and making comments like some fathers don't deserve to have a daughter… she is 5 years old. she is a child. she is my entire fucking world.”

Nick then alleged that multiple reporters contacted him in mid-July with similar messages. He claims the situation escalated further when he refused to back down.

“does it sound normal to you that multiple reporters called me, texted me, or dm'ed me between july 10-12 saying tony khan wanted ‘intel’ about nick lopiccolo?”

“when i clapped back… tony and his partner at activist artists… both called above my head on july 15/16 to paradigm and others threatening litigation for ‘defamation?’ that is really fucking rich.”

LoPiccolo also stated that Megha Parekh, CLO of the Jaguars, contacted him the same week. He went on to add that he had previously been approached to handle media representation tied to the Jaguars’ employee embezzlement scandal.

“does it sound normal to you that megha parekh, the clo of the jaguars, also called me on july 16 — i am assuming, to find a way to deescalate.”

“does it sound normal to you that i was offered the opportunity to represent the jaguars on multiple occassions through the spring, summer, and fall… for tv/streaming, etc.”

Nick made clear this isn’t even the full story yet. Alongside the post, LoPiccolo shared four images intended to reinforce his claims. One shows a tweet where he alleges off-record calls were made to reporters to gather “intel” on him. Another includes messages he says demonstrate how rumors about his employment were already circulating. A third references him being doxxed and hit with a reputational attack the same weekend as a PPV. The fourth addresses what he calls a strange attempt to “own” him, explaining that he had only attended the AEW show because his child received industry comp tickets.

Whether every claim holds up or not, one thing is undeniable: LoPiccolo is no longer speaking carefully, and his accusations have shifted from business disputes into something far more personal and serious.

AEW and Tony Khan still have not responded publicly. At what point does this become a legal issue instead of a public one? And if even part of what he’s alleging is true, should there be accountability on the other side? Drop your thoughts in the comments and tell us where you stand.
