Copeland's alleged curiosities came to light after a conservative news site posted about the topic last week, per the Daily Mail. This prompted him to reach out to congregants of his church and say he was being targeted in an "internet attack."
"The article is not who or what I am [...] 'I apologize for any embarrassment caused by my private and personal life that has become public. This will not cause my life to change. This will not waiver my devotion to my family, serving my city, serving my church," Copeland reportedly said.
Copeland told 1819 News, which published the report on his 62nd birthday, that his online alter ego was a harmless “hobby” that did not go beyond his home.
“Just my wife knows about it,” Copeland said. “It’s a hobby I do to relieve stress. I have a lot of stress, and I’m not medically transitioning. It’s just a bit of a character I’m playing. … I don’t go out and seek solicitation or anything like that.”
“I have been an object of an internet attack,” Copeland said. “An article that was written about my capacity as the mayor [and] capacity as a pastor. The article is not who or what I am.”
He downplayed the online material, calling it an “attempt of humor.”
“Yes, I have taken pictures with my wife in the privacy of our home in an attempt of humor because I know I’m not a handsome man nor a beautiful woman either,” Copeland continued. “I apologize for any embarrassment caused by my private, personal life that has come publicly.”
這篇報導有講他作為市長的政績 In 2019, Copeland led the city through recovery after a horrific March tornado with winds up to 170 mph hit the nearby town of Beauregard and killed 23.
The character in the story is a real person, local to the area. Copeland's story names her and her local business in the fictional story.
1819 News spoke with the woman, who was distraught by the information. She said she was unaware of the story's existence but was close with the family.
Recently uncovered information shows Smiths Station Mayor F.L. "Bubba" Copeland wrote erotic fiction about murdering a real-life local business owner to steal her life, as well as posting pictures of other locals with explicit commentary without their consent.
In one short story, Copeland, who owns a local grocery store, wrote about watching women in-store security cameras and saving the videos for this "private collection."
In another long-form fictional story posted under Copeland's pseudonym, Brittini Blaire, the narrator becomes obsessed with a real-life local business owner, who he ultimately murders to assume her identity. For the sake of the woman's privacy, 1819 News has provided a copy of the fictional story with names and other identifying information redacted.
1819 News另外爆料，柯普蘭曾在Reddit論壇網站上發布未成年人照片作為跨性別相關的迷因(meme)。據該網站報導，其中一張使用一對當地兄妹的照片，使男孩看起來像跨性別者。
在1日的布道期間，柯普蘭向會眾道歉，並表示妻子知道他的行為。
這傢伙是共和黨的，但他用女裝假名推薦兒童醫療變性喔
At his last sermon, Copeland asked: 'Does this have any effect on me being mayor, that I sometimes put on a dress or sometimes put on makeup?'
是不會
但你當Brittni Blaire Summerlin的時候說了什麼做了什麼呢？
都是網路攻擊啦
這篇報導超級委婉喔，完全沒有提穿女裝以外的事情
不是我不是我

在龍捲風災後重建
找到那個讓他崩潰的報導了

跟他寫情色小說謀殺真的女商人一樣，這些事情很難用這只是舒壓來解釋
突然想到今敏以前的電影有演
警察不調查你是要調查誰？
他如果只是在網路上賣賣自己的裸照，我不相信會被調查
他把殺人的跨跨主角設定成一個32歲的電腦凶宅，我覺得有夠歧視XDDDD
我敢賭
那個小鎮上的男人可能覺得殺死女人的性幻想只是幻想還好
但一想到這位鎮長幻想著假裝成他們老婆跟他們激烈地打一砲
他們都害怕了
你們要一個快樂的自稱跨女的戀童癖
還是一個死掉的變態！
我想大眾都會毫不猶豫的選後者
據說是其中一篇小說本體
文中提到的店名可以在 FB 上查到專頁
幸好這個人沒有真的犯下他的幻想，保守的信仰 的職業有拉住他（所以保守團體還是有必要）
這個ｍｅｍｅ描述一個陰鬱的小男孩當跨跨後人生就變彩色的
但其實小男孩的照片是英國演員Alex Pettyfer年輕時的照片
所謂變女生的照片其實是他兒時認識的女性朋友在高中時當啦啦隊員的照片
就是意淫漂亮小男生變成漂亮小女生
依稀記得以前在日漫好像看過一種怪宅角色，這種角色在班上都是邊緣人，沒被欺負，但會想當人際中心點，卻因為個性有些陰陽怪氣所以當不了的那種
長大後這怪宅意外事業家庭順遂。怪宅生活安定下來後，為了滿足兒時夢想，開始假鬼假怪，透過在網路上造謠+角色扮演play來幻想自己是社交界頂點+幻想別人的人生是什麼樣子
我覺得這個就夠了，夠噁了(
那個爸爸很憤怒說那張照片是來自他的臉書，他也只有傳在他的臉書帳號上
欲隱 : whore就真的很露骨了
這個兇手的意思就是他跟被害人共用老公^^
