Major update on accusations that Oilers' owner Daryl Katz had an inappropriate relationship with a minor

Daryl Katz denies the allegations against him by Mitchell Taylor Button and Dusty Button without reservation. There has never been a sexual relationship of any kind between Mr. Katz and Ms. Humphries.

Mr. Katz will vigorously defend his reputation against these baseless and scurrilous claims and will seek sanctions and damages against both the Buttons and their counsel for this frivolous and malicious attack on his character.

Dusty and Mitchell Button made their allegations based on their understanding of information provided to them by Sage Humphries.\

Nevertheless, Mr. Katz's counsel provided the Buttons with credible evidence that key allegations were not true Based on this credible evidence, Dusty Button and Mitchell Button have dismissed their claims against Daryl Katz.

I want to personally apologize for any harm the erroneous factual claims may have caused to Mr. Katz and his family. We brought the claims in good faith, but the moment I doubted the ability to maintain them, I took corrective action and asked the court to strike all relevant references from the record. Nobody should repeat those allegations in any context without noting that they have been withdrawn and repudiated.
