In an appearance on Jake Shields’ podcast, influencer Kenny Ko made startling claims about the late actor Paul Walker‘s death, suggesting there may have been more to the fatal 2013 car crash than meets the eye.
Jake Shields revealed during the conversation that he had allegedly developed a friendship with Walker shortly before the actor’s tragic passing. “I became friends with him right before he died,” Ko stated on the podcast. “He was such a cool dude.”
Kenny Ko influencer then proceeded to share an unverified theory he claimed to have heard from individuals close to the Fast & Furious star. According to Ko, Walker was allegedly preparing to expose serious wrongdoing in the days leading up to his death.
“So apparently people that are super close to Paul Walker said just before he died, he was about to release some big information about the Clintons and charities that were disguised as charities, but were actually selling…,” Ko claimed during the podcast.
Ko suggested that Walker had discovered organizations posing as legitimate charitable operations that were actually involved in something shady. He alleged the actor was on the verge of making this information public when tragedy struck.
“And he was about to reveal this huge story, and then all of a sudden, you know, his car crashed, almost like an explosion,” Ko told Shields during their discussion.
The claims come over a decade after Walker’s death in November 2013, when the actor was killed in a single-vehicle collision in Santa Clarita, California. Walker had been attending a charity event for his own organization, Reach Out Worldwide, when he left in a Porsche Carrera GT driven by his friend Roger Rodas. Both men died in the crash.
Paul Walker was allegedly a committed Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioner who trained at Paragon BJJ Academy under Professor Ricardo “Franjinha” Miller. Before his passing, he had earned a brown belt, and Miller later awarded him a black belt posthumously in recognition of Walker’s dedication.
Walker had often said he would achieve that milestone “even if he needed to get it in his coffin,” a promise Miller chose to honor.
Walker’s personal life has also been the subject of discussion over the years. He allgedly began dating Jasmine Pilchard-Gosnell when she was 16 and he was 33, a relationship that drew attention due to the significant age difference and the fact that California’s age of consent was 18. Despite the controversy, the two remained together for seven years until his passing in 2013, when she was 23.
It’s worth noting that Ko provided no evidence to support these allegations during the podcast conversation, and official investigations concluded the crash was an accident caused by excessive speed.
