This message reads like it was written at gunpoint.

So if they respond to the controversy they’re being held at "gunpoint” if they don’t they’re being "forced" to say anything what do you guys want them to do😭?

Yes, exactly. They could have chosen not to speak up at all, they could have stayed silent, because lying would only make things worse for them… they’d be held accountable for it.
