"A little over a month ago, my family?s world was turned upside down as I faced allegations that we all knew to be untrue ? which I instantly and publicly denied. 

"Today, I?m grateful that after a full investigation, all charges were dismissed. Fortunately, my family and most importantly, my incredible children are all doing well. My faith in the goodness we all possess has never wavered and has never been greater. My love for my family is without limits.
