Lyle Landers, the ex-boyfriend of American influencer Sara Gilson, has publicly addressed the circumstances surrounding her death in Oklahoma. In a statement following the tragedy, Landers asserted that he spent considerable time attempting to persuade her to end her relationship with her partner, Jeremiah “Shawn” Duffey, who police reported killed Gilson and subsequently died by suicide. According to Landers, the relationship was characterized by domestic violence.
He stated that he spent five years trying to help his ex-girlfriend leave a situation he described as one where violence appeared normalized. “She was trapped in a relationship where violence seemed normal,” Landers reported. He elaborated that during this five-year period, he offered her assistance in every conceivable way.
However, he claimed that Duffey maintained a degree of control over her, making it difficult for her to escape the relationship. Landers’ public comments detail his ongoing efforts to intervene in her life, emphasizing the duration and nature of his concern for her safety. The statements provide an external account of the dynamics within the relationship that led to Gilson’s death, adding context to the police investigation.
The allegations made by Landers regarding the pattern of abuse and control in the five years leading up to the incident remain central to his public narrative.
