Media members, fans react to Zach Smith’s tirade on social media
Published:
The Zach Smith story just isn’t going away.
And part of it now is because of Smith himself. The former Ohio State assistant took to social media Wednesday afternoon and went after Brett McMurphy, who wrote a report about Smith that ultimately led to his firing this offseason.
Smith went after a few people other than McMurphy and responded to some fans and members of the media who were reacting to his tweets.
This tweet has since been deleted, but the original was likely focused on Courtney Smith, Zach’s ex-wife:
Oh… I didn’t forget. The truth will come out. Lol. She is NO victim. https://t.co/amAOdoQPXP

And that’s the point of my tweets. People like you need to just “log off” and “not hit send” with hurtful tweets that you have no knowledge about being based on fact or vengeance. Take you’re own advice, Chris. https://t.co/zZfjtzZK3k

Not a shield. A reminder to scum like you that your reckless & complete disregard for human beings hurts innocent children. Sorry you viewed it as a shield-but that further proves your ignorance given to you by a laminated piece of cardboard hung around your neck by a lanyard. https://t.co/OyDR8PX42z

They got set “ablaze” at the press conference. And everyone at OSU knows that. https://t.co/5pHqXyG8HF

Here are just a few of the tweets that Smith hasn’t responded to:
Zach Smith in mid-Twitter manifesto/meltdown, if anyone cares to watch a real-time train wreck. Not helping himself or anyone else in the whole sorry Ohio State saga.

Perhaps the cleaners who grabbed Urb’s phone should have taken Zach Smith’s as well
