The controversy has certainly got communities divided as people try to get to the bottom of the allegations. It\u2019s clear that Dream is planning a much more comprehensive response that dives into the specifics of the claims, but how long that will take remains to be seen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
