Jay Slater: Family Rejects TikTok Star’s Abandonment, Disputes Financial Claims The family of missing Tiktok star Jay Slater has hit back at his decision to abandon the search for him, claiming that he “never received any money” from a GoFundMe campaign created to aid in the search. Slater, 26, disappeared on June 22 while swimming in the sea off the coast of Sardinia. His family launched a GoFundMe campaign to raise funds for search and rescue efforts, hoping to bring him home. However, Slater recently announced on social media that he was ending the search and returning to the UK. In response, Slater’s family released a statement expressing their disappointment and concern. “We are devastated that Jay has made the decision to give up the search,” the statement read. “We believe there is still hope of finding him alive, and we are determined to do whatever it takes to bring him home.” The family also strongly disputed Slater’s claims that he never received the money raised through the GoFundMe campaign. According to them, the funds were immediately transferred to Slater’s bank account and used to cover expenses related to the search. “We have receipts and bank statements to prove that the money was transferred to Jay’s account,” the statement said. “It is not true that he never received any money.” The family’s accusations have raised questions about Slater’s motives for abandoning the search and his financial dealings. Some have speculated that he may have misappropriated the funds raised through the GoFundMe campaign for personal gain. However, Slater has denied any wrongdoing. He maintains that he spent the money on search and rescue efforts and that he has no way of knowing where his brother is. The family has vowed to continue searching for Slater and has urged anyone with information about his whereabouts to come forward. They have also appealed to the UK government to provide assistance in the search. “We will not give up,” the statement said. “We will continue to search for Jay until we find him.”Jay Slater’s family has criticized the TikTok star for abandoning the search for her missing sister, Kirsty Aitchison. The family accused Slater of “cashing in” on the tragedy by setting up a GoFundMe page to raise money for the search, but then failing to use any of the funds for that purpose. Slater, who has over 1 million followers on TikTok, initially claimed that he had received death threats and that his family had been harassed. However, the family has denied these claims, saying that they have not received any threats and that they are simply trying to find their missing sister. The GoFundMe page, which was set up by Slater, has raised over £40,000. However, the family says that they have not received any of this money and that Slater has not been in contact with them since the search was abandoned. The family has now launched a new GoFundMe page in the hope of raising enough money to continue the search for Kirsty. They have also set up a website where people can donate directly to the search effort. Slater has not yet responded to the family’s criticism.
