>>7187274Adam was romantically involved with Britt and couldn't be trusted to keep his mouth shut.
I would assume Johnny was involved because he was the one who told Hunter that Sam was best friends with Christy Hemme and collectively they had huge dirt on Vince. And helped facilitated her talking to the reporter who was investigating Vince on Hunter's behalf.
Andrade wasn't involved because he would have blabbed to Charlotte and her to her dad, who hates Hunter. And Malakai's such an IRL whiny little bitch SJW that he would have bullied Hemme to personally go public if not out her directly and fuck shit up beyond Hunter's ability to spin shit to oust Vince and get himself and Steph restored to power and given ultimate control over the company.
