Smith Denies $6M Claim, Threatens Legal Action

1. A hit pig will always scream.

   • That’s exactly what Shugy did on Miss Knight show when he was asked point blank about buying a boat.

2. And the saga has begun

3. So Lovell came back to trouble the waters? Idiot not even in a month yet and he’s showing how incompetent and foolish he is. Shame on the old man

4. Political Drama. You know a man would bad talk you to a woman so she can hate you and love him….. anyway. How much to subscribe to HD?

5. JUDAS! your days are numbered. Hell will be your final resting place, once thing I must say about you, you are really a barefaced s.o.b.

6. here comes Lovell with his ole 1980s politics of slander n melee. soon he & de UPP so try bore the people of Antigua to death talkin about school meals n school uniform for yet another election season. FMD dis ah 2025!!!! how much longer UPP go torture people taking dem down ah rabbit hole of the past wit Lovell??? Smh

7. Plenty of y’all talking on here as if y’all are lily white. Some of you have soooo many skeletons in your closets, the doors can barely be closed. I want to know which one of you would have stayed where you were not wanted. To much hypocrisy because your party of choice is not in power. Y’all need to be real and be truthful. There have been inconsistencies on both sides of the aisle and if there’s going to hypocrisy, all are guilty. So tap try fu mek Smith look like a Judas because Lovell is not any better. Something is definitely wrong in the UPP camp, but shame make some of us can’t say so, but it clear like 23 PSALM. Time fu tap dis chupitniss man. Damn sickening now! Y’all can come fu me. I don’t give a shit!!!

8. Thid is a serious allegation. I listened to the show. I dont know Lovell to throw people under the bus like that. If you say you love him like a brother and he confided in you, how is this now dor public consumption? You stopped loving him because he left the party?

9. When have Harolied Lovell ever been truthful? If he wants to be a comeback kid, he needs to come with fresh ideas rather than gossip. He’s like a pen without ink – just crapping up de paper.

10. Ask Lovell what he did to Joan Messiah…..

    • Joan Massiah destroyed herself and her political career. She was so hungry for power that she couldn’t wait her turn. Had she waited her turn she might have been the leader of the UPP and probably the leader of this country today.

11. Stop lie pan the man before he mek r u pull r u purse… Levell need fa go sidung…..

12. @Mami wah u want the man do instead of legal action? U thought better of him??? U wah the man jus ignore untrue allegations against his character? U want the man to be a Village man and box Lovell??? He is doing the right thing Lovell jus running with gossip thinking that’s a Win…. Poor fool…

13. The same way he was going to sue the dawg,when he claim the dawg was the antithesis of everything he stands for, them months later jump into bed with the same corrupt party as he called them .

14. Too often politicians get away with lies, this might set a precedent.

15. 👍🏻

16. Too often politicians get away with lies, this might set a precedent.

17. It’s better to know and accept them for who they are than for a wolf in sheep clothing like you to be talk

18. Boy yiu cannot frighten a lawyer with threat of legal action.
    He didn’t make allegations.
    He repeated your words to him.
    Others have repeated the same statement.
    How did Shuggy know about the $6 million figure?
    How did Richard Lewis know about it?
    At no time did you have conversation with the three present.
    When you take legal action the only evidence that Lovell will need is your letter in response to Gaston’s allegations.
    The court will instantly deem you a habitual and seasoned liar.
    The court will have difficulty believing you.
    So be careful which tree you attempt to climb.
    The people.of All Saints West have your ANTITHESIS medicine.
    They are waiting for you.
    They do not love traitors.
    Like treating a baby for worms so to are they waiting for you to eliminate you from the political landscape.

19. So what was the life changing offer you got from Gaston Browne? You’re a dam lier we see right through you JUDAS!!

20. If the Most Honourable Harold Lovell – and so many others – have got this so wrong, then why oh why did Anthony Smith leave the UPP so suddenly?

    And UPP will never forget that Smith castigated Gaston Browne on quite a few previous occasions about his policies and conduct. Fact!

    Good try though Mr Smith, but your current worrisome KEDOGENOUS many suspect, is that of the criticism you’ve rightly received from the electorate that voted for – you’ve made your bed with the ABLP and Gaston Browne, now lie inna it. Simple!

21. Credibility assessment is usually based on several factors including source, content, the characteristic of the information as well as personal traits that influence people’s inclination to believe or to reject the information that is given. In all honesty people are far more likely to believe Mr Lovells version of the story than to believe Mr Smith.

22. This is what bothers me when people make accusations. It’s like throwing a bomb in a room then running and hiding behind a rock.

    Where is the proof? Where is the documentation? Dates? Who offered? When offered? Yes the tactic is to cast a shadow but ultimately without proof, Lovell will just end up looking like a fool and a liar.

    Come on Harold…you CAN be so much better than this. Please I BEG YOU…Do not re-start your political career with lies.

23. Oh please Anthony Smith (Judas) be sure your sins betrayal will find you out. Whay did you think was going to happen when you became independent switch side? Your true colour has been seen, you have no intrigrity no loyalty you appear to switch and sell your soul at the drop of a hat. Oh sorry what was the excuse again?, you was treated badly by UPP now your the boss with labour party the same dogs you once kicked you laying with, you sure will wake up with flees.

24. The Labourites are just wallowing in filth as is their custom, this is from leader right down to Anthony Sh*t house

25. I do not condone dirty politics but if all our political figures were honest and served their constituents like they were supposed to then I would trust their words…. Anthony, why you waiting on him to retract his statement? He said he had evidence, be careful there just might be recordings of you saying that you got the money and which offshore account it was in…. So don’t wait, just Sue the man if you’re sure you never had that conversation!!!

26. Asot was an independent candidate and he didn’t recieve any ministry nor perks…..

27. Waste if Time Lovell just come back and he already start causing mischief to be relevant?
    Anthony I agree with you take his ass to court and let him pay for his mouth

28. He is back again same play book lies and deception and that’s his political philosophy never afraid to use lies and deceptions remember when he said the opposition is a batsman paradise wicket and all batsmen should make 100 runs all you have to say in opposition is that things bad , people hungry , jobs scare , people suffering and the they would believe you once you keep saying it so his political philosophy is disinformation to the vulnerable and it would work sometimes so this 6 million dollars scandal on Anthony will hook into some of his supporters he was touted as Harold Lievel the the last election and he is back at it but Anthony has God” favor

29. Antigua do not need a leader whose only aim is to wallow in the gutters loaded with the almighty dollar.

30. This story is like them tabloid newspaper you pick up in the store or them email you get that sound so interesting that you clicked to open it an bam they ketch you.
    This guy have to be a real! Real idiot to reveal information like this to anyone after immediately changing parties, especially to another politician.
    The UPP at that time was being dismantled and here we have the former leader with news and am talking big news and instead of bringing this heavy news to the voting population he kept it to himself and waited till now to come forward, not only that we are also now hearing two other UPP ministers of parliament also knew, so why now.
    By the way is this $6 million JA dollars? cause that’s a lot of money for ABLP to dish out to one man, a young new comer to politics, who haven’t even solidified his strength to this constituency yet, for him to slide over. I think someone used the words honest, integrity and true to describe Mr Lovell, so all he have to now do is release the evidence and stop playing politricks and to the young Smith if you gonna sue let’s make it happen.

31. Why would a politician pay someone $6 million dollars to leave a party . Does that make sense ? You mean that people in this country didn’t learn anything in the Alfa Nero witch hunt and the millions in the belly of an aircraft at V C Bird international airport ?, come on and stop them foolishness just to win votes

32. Nobody takes a bold love like this and not get some form of compensation. Smith weighed his scale and realized it might be better to take the cash than remain in the UPP. But he said he never got money. We have no proof he recieved or didnt recieve. What we know is a maddddd bad a$$$$ move like that warrants payment or security. Question is what form did Smith recieve

33. These kinds of allegations are serious, and the public deserves clarity.

    At the same time, we must avoid rushing to judgment without evidence. Both Mr. Lovell and Mr. Smith have made strong statements, but what is most important is transparency and accountability in our political process. The people of Antigua and Barbuda want leaders they can trust, and the best way forward is for all sides to put the facts on the table and let truth, not speculation, guide the conversation

34. Lovell telling the truth, and Anthony Smith know it. The man would never go on public radio and make up such a big story if he didn’t have confidence in what he saying. Smith could deny all he want, but his actions speak louder than his words. He turn his back on the UPP and the very people who vote for him—so why we must believe him now? Harold Lovell has nothing to gain by exposing this, but Smith have everything to lose. That alone should tell Antiguans who really talking straight.

35. @ Carvaa

    $6,000,000.00 is enough to secure the ABLP’s future because they more than made it up with the ton of taxes they charge the nation in order to get it back and secure their future and therefore $6,000,000.00 is nothing compared to holding on to power and having and controlling the resources of the state to get it back. You ABLP supporters are dumb and lacking the ability to reason.

36. Antony I don’t trust you .. you are known to jump ship. If anyone that’s familiar with your saga .. just a reminder about a famous quote from Scarface!! He said ALL I Have in this world is my balls and my word, and I don’t break them for “NO ONE”.. you failed miserably..maybe it’s because of the Orchidectomy..

38. The man would never go on public radio and make up such a big story if he didn’t have confidence in what he saying.

39. These kinds of allegations are serious, and the public deserves clarity.

40. Me just can’t understand, in the pass especially when UPP in office, me just go the bank go buy travellers cheques and the ONDCP was on the seen, now ALP minister are building multiple properties and buying up real estate and cars and boats and kernal croft See’s nothing or hear nothing.
    The desperation of the ALP back then of getting over Anthony Smith was that asot bargain was to only come over as prime minister, they saw robin as a potential lost to the party because of health reasons, that was the same anxiety spending Gaston did in shoogie bi-election to hold on to power and retain the prime minister position that asot wanted if robin had passed. now rawdon turner gives him a buffer so Anthony can take a leak or get lost.
    Who Anthony fooling about no gift or largesse was given? If only the ONDCP was doing their work as how the UPP allowed them to do when they were in office. All you don’t notice ONDCP sounds nonexistent since ALP comes to power? But them say kernel croft is building mansions too.

41. Oh please…Harold Lovell is not the one who made that utterance that you were bought out by GB, so this hypocrite needs to grow a spine and fess up to his betrayal.

    When that rumor came out, that you Mr Smith was bride by GB, Lovell wasn’t even close to the story, so how are you going to sue someone that wasn’t even the originator of that rumor?

    This man is shaking in his boots and just sounds like a hurt little baby. 😂

42. I find it to be really hypocritical that the Judas has a whole gang, that just a few months ago were tearing him apart for berating his now boss and denying the claim that they both had dialog about him jumping ship. These people are really special.
    Thanks to ANTIGUA NEWROOM for censoring my posts so frequently. I’m not nearly surprised nor disappointed.

43. Anthony Smith can hurl insults and threats all he wants, but that doesn’t erase the fact that Harold Lovell is a respected legal mind who understands the weight of his words. When a man of his standing makes a claim, the public has every right to demand answers, not bullying.

    Threatening lawsuits and calling names doesn’t address the core issue of political integrity and transparency. If there’s nothing to hide, then open the books, let the light shine, and let the people judge.

    What Antigua and Barbuda truly deserves is not politicians who are quick to cry “malicious” but leaders who understand that accountability and truth are non-negotiable.
