Tayler Holder Admits Trying to Attempt Suicide over Sexual Allegations

Tayler Holder is opening up more and more about one of the most challenging times of his life when he was accused of sexual assault, leading to his best friends cutting him off their circle and more.

Lately, the TikTok star has been appearing on multiple podcasts and doing interviews, where he has mostly talked about the sexual assault allegations that put a pause on his career in February 2022.

In his December 2023 appearance on an episode of the Alter Ego Podcast, he continued to deny the sexual accusations against him and called them fake. Similarly, on January 12, 2024, Duke Gomez uploaded the latest episode of his Duke It Out podcast featuring Holder.

During the appearance, Holder opened up more about the dark times of his life and tearfully detailed the impact of allegedly false rumors on his life. As he went further, he talked about betrayal from people he had known for years and admitted to even trying to commit suicide.

The 26-year-old internet star first claimed that the person who had accused him of sexual assault backed down after he threatened to reveal the truth, as per his talks with his lawyer. He then admitted that he couldn’t sue for defamation as he lost everything over the ordeal.

He stated, “Our attorneys talked …and I was basically like, ‘Hey, you guys need to make this right. I’ve lost my entire life, man. I would have no other option besides to lay all of this out and let everyone know what the heck actually happened.’”

He continued, “Because of what I had, they didn’t want that out there, bro. They were like, ‘My clients will shut up; they want nothing to do with this anymore.’ I was like, ‘You don’t get to just come in and [explicit] up my entire life.”

As the discussion continued, Holder claimed that he had lost all of the brand deals he had signed and lost loads of cash to pay for the legal fees he incurred while dealing with the whole situation.

However, losing money was nothing compared to losing friends over the accusation. Holder said, “The thing that [explicit] me up the most was… these people have known me for years. They knew my heart, they knew what I’ve done. They knew everything about me.”

He claimed that none of his friends picked up the phone and called him to ask how he was doing and how they could help him. “Not one of them offline, off the record… no one just picked up the phone and called me. ‘How are you, Taylor? What can I do to help?’” he said.

After saying that, Holder dropped the bombshell when he revealed that he tried to kill himself after the sexual allegations, which he claims to be fake, came to light. He broke down into tears and explained how his friends turning away from him impacted his psyche.

As mentioned earlier, it all started when Holder was accused of sexual assault in February 2022, and it spread like wildfire. Many of his closest friends unfollowed him on social media, and almost all tried to talk about the situation.

For instance, Holder’s now-former best friend, Bryce Hall, hinted that it was a sexual assault against a minor. Other TikTokers had other things to say. This later resulted in Holder sending cease and desist letters, believing they were spreading false rumors.

However, to this date, it’s still unclear what happened and if Holder is guilty. For now, the only ones who know anything are Holder, who continues to claim the allegations are false, and the accuser — whose identity is yet to be revealed.
