His behavior was not disrespectful. She lied. She admitted she lied

Incorrect.

Donham’s daughter-in-law, Marsha Bryant, who was present for the two tape-recorded interviews Tyson did with Donham, said her mother-in-law “never recanted.”

Adding to the intrigue is the fact the quote Tyson attributed to Donham isn’t on the recordings.

You have no proof of that.

You lied.

Wrong.

In 2017, a book quoted Donham, now in her 80s, as saying she lied when she claimed that Till grabbed her, whistled and made sexual advances while she was working in a store.

After the allegations of Donham's lies, she told the FBI that she had never recanted her accusations while relatives also denied the accusations.

At the time, officials said historian Timothy B. Tyson, the author of 2017's 'The Blood of Emmett Till,' was unable to produce any recordings or transcripts in which Donham allegedly admitted to lying about her encounter with the teen.
