Tim Tebow said Friday that he plans to pause his relationship with Life Surge after allegations surfaced about the Christian financial seminar company.
The former quarterback said the move is temporary, with his team first looking into the facts before deciding whether to move forward. Tebow described the allegations as serious and said the matter has to be taken seriously.
What changed for Tebow and Life Surge
The development came one day after Mother Jones published an investigation in partnership with Pablo Torre Finds Out about Tebow's involvement with Life Surge. The report focused on complaints from customers and disputes by the company over improper sales tactics.
Life Surge is a six-year-old company, and Tebow was on track to speak at 10 Life Surge events by the end of the year. That made his relationship with the organization a visible one, especially as the company continued to build a larger public profile.
Why the pause matters
Tebow said Thursday that his team shared the news with him while he was attending an anti-human-trafficking conference. By Friday, he told WRUF that the current plan was to step back while the situation is reviewed.
He said the group would learn more about the facts before deciding what comes next. That suggests the pause is not necessarily permanent, but it does signal that the allegations were serious enough to disrupt a planned set of speaking appearances tied to Life Surge.
