Bereaved father Jeff Metcalf, father of slain teen Austin Metcalf, blasted the parents of his son’s murderer Karmelo Anthony, slamming them for failing to properly raise their son, as a court-imposed gag order was lifted following Anthony’s trial.

Metcalf went scorched earth Wednesday night on a three-hour livestream hosted by journalist Sarah Fields, addressing disrespect directed towards him following the incident that he was unable to respond to due to the gag order.

“I’m surprised honestly by human race and mankind of the despicable vile display of the most uncompassionate, unempathetic, uncaring soulless individuals who choose to monetize the death of a dead child, or speak very derogatory of him, or make memes and talk all over the internet about my son while I’m under a gag order and can’t respond,” Metcalf stated. “It’s like being tied to a chair and someone is slapping your face back and forth and you can do nothing about it but take it.”

“Well that day has ended. The muzzle’s off, and all you people, I’m telling you up front right now, this is a warning. Karma’s a bitch. ‘Vengeance is mine sayeth the Lord.’ I don’t have to come after you, it’s gonna take care of itself.”

The upset father went on to blast Anthony’s parents, saying, “Drew Anthony, you’re a pussy and a coward – and you raised one. Kayla [Hayes], you drunk bitch. What did you do to that boy to make him stab somebody? My god, what kind of mother are you?”

“I’ve been disrespected by so many people so many times while I’ve had to sit here and take it,” he continued. “You are grifters. You should be ashamed of yourself. You raised that child and I swear to God, CPS should come check on those other three that you still have.”

The grieving dad also referenced the time he was kicked out of a press conference held by Anthony’s parents and accused of stirring racial division, saying he was trying to bridge the racial gap.

“You never once admitted or took accountability. You tried to play victim. The real victim is the one who died, not the one who shoved a knife in his chest,” he said. “I come to pray with you and show the world we can close the gap of this unbelievable racial divide. And what did you do? You widened the gap even further. You people hang your hat on the dumbest shit I’ve ever seen.”

Metcalf proceeded to invent a racial slur for Karmelo to play into the racist trope, saying, “Let me make something racist up so y’all can go viral. I got a new name for Melo, okay? Because he was such this little boy y’all was trying to portray. How about ‘Watermelon Felon’? How’s that one strike you?”

“I hope he enjoyed his first night in that cell last night because he’s going to have many nights to think about what the hell he did,” he added.

In a passionate boomer-esque rant, Metcalf also criticized black people who supported Anthony merely due to the color of his skin, despite his egregious crime, and slammed black entitlement culture.

Of course Austin Metcalf’s family are getting a bunch of death threats because that’s what happens. When somebody is held accountable for their crimes, then people lash out even more with violent anger. But you’ll jump on the side of a murderer for skin color.

Do you know how stupid that really makes you look? “I’m going to support somebody blindly even though they did wrong.” You’re going to support someone who does something against the law. You’re encouraging and saying it’s okay because he’s a certain color.

Oh, you’ve got more melanin than me, so you get more privileges, more entitlement because 400 years ago someone actually sold you to us and we took you over here and put you to work and then we had a Civil War to free your ass.

And now you want to talk. “Oh, I’m being so oppressed.” You couldn’t even vote in 1960. Look how far you’ve come. Look at all the freedoms we give you.

You’re not oppressed. You’re entitled.

You know what DEI stands for? Yeah. Means I don’t have to be qualified. I just have to be a certain color or race or gender. Whose bright-ass idea was that? I don’t know about you, but when I grew up there was no participation trophy. There wasn’t a safe space created for me because my feelings were hurt.

We had to take actual responsibility for our own actions. Wow. What a concept.

The Metcalf family patriarch added that his son’s murder and subsequent happenings have altered his outlook on society, citing the term “black fatigue.”

“From day one I said this was never about race. Please don’t make it about race and don’t politicize it. And what did you do? You chose both. The race card. Black fatigue. It’s real. I’m sorry. You have embarrassed your own culture and race,” he said.

The father’s angry message came as he delivered a powerful victim impact statement following Anthony’s sentencing earlier this week demanding the murderer look at him, saying, “You can’t even look me in the eye right now, but you can stab my (expletive) son in the heart.”

“You failed your parents, you failed yourself, and you failed society… You don’t belong in this community,” the dad told his son’s killer. 

Karmelo was sentenced to 35 years in prison on Tuesday for killing Metcalf at a track meet in Frisco, Texas, in April 2025.
