I Am Billy Coull.
I’m not hiding. I’m not asking for sympathy. I’m just telling the truth.
You’ve read the headlines. You’ve seen the memes. This is the story they never told—the one beneath the noise.

I’m Billy Coull – father, artist, writer, convicted man, cancelled name, and still a human being.
You might know me from the Wonka disaster in Glasgow.
You might have read what the tabloids wrote.
But what they never gave you was context, consequence, or confession.
I made real mistakes. I own them here. I also made something magical—and messy—and it collapsed under the weight of expectation and fire.
This site isn’t damage control.
It’s damage documentation—and reclamation.
