Patrick Clancy Breaks Silence On Conspiracy Theories Surrounding Children’s Deaths

Patrick Clancy finally responded to wild online conspiracy theories — which have been peddled by influencers and celebrities — that tie him to the murders of his three young children, despite his ex-wife Lindsay Clancy acknowledging that she committed the crimes.

On Tuesday, Patrick released a statement putting those who are spreading such false theories “on notice.”

“The facts are indisputable: Patrick Clancy has suffered an unspeakable and unimaginable loss,” attorney Howard Cooper, with Todd & Weld, said in a statement on behalf of Patrick. “Unfortunately, the tragedy Patrick has experienced has been compounded by patently false, defamatory, and injurious public statements.”

“The individuals making those statements — from minor influencers to major celebrities — should be on notice that their despicable actions and false, defamatory statements have caused real life consequences to the health and safety of Patrick and his family,” the statement added.

Hundreds of videos on TikTok, which have racked up millions of views, tie Patrick to the murders. One theory claims without evidence that he was the “male voice” Lindsay supposedly heard telling her to kill the children, while others falsely claim Patrick murdered the children himself.

Actress and former reality star Lisa Rinna posted a video online recently claiming her therapist agreed with her that it was Patrick who strangled the kids to death.

“Alright he did it. Patrick did it,” Rinna said. “Patrick’s the one who did it, not Lindsay. Patrick did it, because, ya know, I also heard that women typically don’t strangle … that isn’t what a woman would do, they don’t strangle.”

“I was actually in therapy today, and my therapist and I were talking about it … and she looks at me and she goes, ‘He did it.’ I was like, wow, yeah!'” Rinna added.

Lindsay has not denied that she murdered her three children, 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 8-month-old Callan. Though she’s pleaded not guilty to the murder charges, her defense team’s strategy effectively establishes that she killed the kids. Her defense is specifically arguing that Lindsay should not be held criminally liable for fatally strangling her children due to reasons of insanity.
