Frank Parlato wants you to believe he is an investigative journalist. He is not. He’s a high-priced mouthpiece for people caught on camera doing the indefensible. His latest target is whistleblower Danesh Noshirvan, but the “permanent victory” Parlato just toasted with his wealthy clients has already gone up in smoke.
The Scripted Lie vs. The Recorded Reality
Frank Parlato and Richard Luthmann have spent months trying to rewrite the history of a dark parking lot in San Angelo. They paint Evan Berryhill-Jewell as a victim of a coordinated digital hit job. The evidence says otherwise.
On April 12, 2022, Berryhill was caught on video in a state of visible intoxication. She didn’t just walk by. She launched into a bigoted tirade against Charles Hardy and Taylor Oglesby, calling them a “disgrace to America” and hurling homophobic slurs.
Parlato and Luthmann love to mention that criminal charges were eventually dismissed, but they forget to mention that a dismissal does not erase the footage, it doesn’t erase what people saw and heard with their own eyes:
- The Slurs: Berryhill was recorded using the word “faggot” during the encounter.
- The Physicality: She didn’t just use words. She struck the mobile device being used to record her and made physical contact with Hardy.
- The Probable Cause: A judge originally found probable cause for a bias-motivated assault.
A PR campaign can buy a lot of thingsbut it can’t buy the deletion of a video that shows exactly who Evan Berryhill is when she thinks no one is watching.
Character Assassination for Hire
The attacks on Noshirvan on the Frank Report are not organic. They’re part of a coordinated “Paid Crisis Management” network. Federal litigation in Noshirvan v. Couture pulls back the curtain on this operation.
Jennifer Couture and Ralph Garramone are accused of hiring third-party operatives to serve as “online reputation managers”. Their goal was simple: destroy Noshirvan’s reputation to hide their own actions. Parlato’s platform is the primary vehicle for this character assassination. He uses terms like “bot farms” to explain away the millions of humans who are disgusted by his clients’ behavior. It’s a classic tactic, if you can’t argue with the truth, attack the person telling it.
The TikTok Perma Ban That Wasn’t
Last week, Parlato and his clients celebrated what they called a “permanent ban” of Noshirvan from TikTok. They claimed it was a final victory. They were wrong.
On February 6, 2026, TikTok fully reinstated Noshirvan’s account, his two million followers, and his entire video archive. The ban was nothing more than a coordinated reporting campaign triggered by a pedophile who was mad he was outed for being on TikTok.
Human reviewers at TikTok saw through the charade. They realized the account was being targeted and not violating rules. The reinstatement proves Parlato’s bot farm narrative is a lie. Two million real people are still watching.
Weaponizing the Legal System
Parlato constantly screams about a $62,320 federal court sanction against Noshirvan as if it proves a global conspiracy. It doesn’t. A forensic review of the court orders shows these were compensatory attorney fees for a specific discovery dispute involving defense counsel Julian Jackson Fannin
- The Truth: The sanctions have nothing to do with “bot farms”.
- The Reality: The sanctions are not a ruling on the merits of the San Angelo hate crime allegations.
Parlato is using legal jargon to confuse the public. He’s trying to turn a standard fee dispute into a moral judgment. It’s a desperate move by a crisis team that’s losing the war for their DARVO narrative.
The Bottom Line:
The Frank Report is a platform for hire. Parlato has aligned himself with a network of litigants who use digital and legal warfare to silence critics and opponents. They want to bury the fact that their clients were caught on film engaging in physical confrontations and bad behavior.
They failed. The footage exists. The account is back online. The truth is not for sale.
