Jay Rodriguez Expelled for Serious S*xual Misconduct Allegations

Jay Rodriguez, ADCC silver medalist and rising star in the world of competitive Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, has been officially removed from the acclaimed B-Team Jiu-Jitsu academy. Rodriguez openly acknowledged his departure, citing “unhealthy interactions with women at the gym” as the primary reason for his removal.

In an introspective statement, Rodriguez revealed, “I have been attending therapy and have become closer to God,” signaling remorse and a desire for personal growth amidst serious allegations.

However, sources within the Jiu-Jitsu community have disclosed more troubling details regarding the circumstances surrounding Rodriguez’s expulsion. Allegedly, Rodriguez maintained a concealed folder on his phone containing explicit images of women who train at the B-Team academy, alongside adult content intentionally selected for resemblance to these women. The situation has been described by some as “creepy,” “predatory,” and “unacceptable.”

B-Team issued a concise yet firm statement, reinforcing their stance on safety and respect:

“Jay Rod is no longer a part of B Team. He has stated the reasons for his removal. B Team is a safe training place for all and we have a zero-tolerance policy for anyone breaching that trust.”

Further details emerged online, elaborating that key figures at B-Team, including Craig Jones and Seth Belisle, promptly acted upon receiving credible evidence from the affected women. Both Jones and Belisle underscored the importance of maintaining a respectful and secure environment for all members. According to internal reports, this is not the first time the academy has swiftly removed individuals for inappropriate conduct, affirming that no exceptions are made based on status or achievements.

While Rodriguez’s reputation in the sport had been rising rapidly, these serious allegations and the decisive action by B-Team highlight the broader conversation within combat sports regarding harassment and respectful behavior. Community members have widely commended the academy for demonstrating genuine accountability, asserting that B-Team’s policy is not merely performative but practically enforced.

Rodriguez’s future in competitive Jiu-Jitsu now remains uncertain as he grapples with the consequences of his actions and seeks redemption both personally and professionally.
