Jermaine N. Edwards, a prominent community advocate for St. John’s Rural South, has publicly denounced the unauthorized use of her name and likeness following her recent disclosure of battling breast cancer. Edwards shared her diagnosis on Friday to raise awareness during Breast Cancer Awareness Month, leveraging her personal experience to highlight the importance of early detection and support for those affected by the disease. However, she has since discovered that certain individuals or groups have attempted to organize fundraisers and other activities using her name without her consent. Edwards emphasized that no person, group, or organization has been authorized to use her name, image, or personal circumstances for fundraising purposes, whether on her behalf or for others. She expressed deep disappointment at the exploitation of her situation, particularly during a time when she is emotionally and physically preparing for the challenges ahead. Edwards issued a stern warning that any unauthorized use of her name or likeness will result in immediate legal action, with those responsible being prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Despite these troubling developments, Edwards remains focused on her healing journey and expressed heartfelt gratitude for the genuine support and encouragement she has received from the community. She urged the public to continue offering prayers and kindness, which she described as invaluable sources of strength. Edwards also clarified that all future updates about her journey will come directly from her, as she has no spokesperson or affiliations with any political, social, or private groups acting on her behalf. She concluded her statement by thanking those who have reached out with compassion and love, emphasizing that their support has been a profound source of comfort during this difficult time.
