A Television Appearance
As if it was all not enough, Diane then decided to go on a TV show in order to share her twisted side of the story, which was largely untrue. The truth was slowly coming out, and Michael was finally exonerated when it was confirmed that he had never been abusive towards Ricky.
Another Investigation
