JACKSONVILLE, Fla. —
Janay White, a Jacksonville entrepreneur entangled in multiple fraud lawsuits, broke her silence on a Facebook Live broadcast. White apologized for her actions, acknowledging her mistakes.
Amid accusations of bad business practices and fraud, White, known for her J. White Business Center, faces over 50 filed police reports detailing negative experiences. In a November 2023 sit-down with First Coast News, she denied the claims, then recently announced the opening of a new credit office on Jacksonville's Southside.
"I apologize if you['re] listening to this, if I talked about you on a live, if I said your name, if I cussed you out, if any kind of way... what I said hurt you, in any kind of way, I deeply, deeply, deeply, deeply apologize to you," White said on the Facebook Live Wednesday.
Ashley 'Buddy' Wilson, a man who has invested $56,000 in rental units through her, remains unconvinced by her apology. He vehemently rejects her remorse, insisting on accountability and justice for all who have filed police reports. Despite attempts to reach out, White declined to comment.
Victims are taking matters into their own hands, scheduling a protest against Janay White at the Duval County courthouse on March 13 at 11 a.m.
