It appears that Keone Pearson is interested in taking his career in a new direction. Perhaps the vision that PJ Braun had for the young bodybuilder is different than what Pearson intended.

A very sad time, but one I must accept. I will cherish our times always and loved every minute of coaching and working together! I’ve never been closer to another male athlete and I expected it to be for life but my actions have caused a divide and he has made his decision and I support him. He will go very far in bodybuilding and I will always love him just as I know he will always love me. Thanks for the great times @keone_prodigy #theprodigy #alllove
