She said she wanted abusers to know that even dying wouldn’t spare them from being caught. “People that know Ted know that he’s an upstanding guy - the most upstanding I’ve ever met in my life,” Colgan said.īut after Nash died, Fox said, she read the “glowing, vomitous” obituaries about “how amazing this human being is,” and it pushed her to speak out. Nash had accompanied Colgan on vacations with Colgan’s wife and five children and was the godfather of Colgan’s oldest daughter, Colgan said, and Nash never showed any sexual attraction to “younger people.” He called Fox’s accusation’s “preposterous.” Colgan, one of Nash’s former collegiate and national team rowers, Colgan quotes another rower saying that Nash’s crew could hardly tell the difference between Nash and God.Ĭolgan, in an interview from his home in New Zealand, said that he had known Nash for nearly 60 years, and that he never saw “any dent in his moral credibility, whether it’s cursing, lying, cheating, anything like that."
In a 168-page book called “The Book of Ted,” written by Sean P. In the rowing world, Nash was revered because of his résumé, charisma and, in many cases, status as a father figure both on and off the water. “Look, I didn’t know Ted at the time, so I can’t say anything about that time,” she said of Fox’s accusations. His widow, Jan Nash, 74, said she was shocked and saddened by Fox’s allegations and that “it’s just not fair” for Fox to name Ted now that he can’t defend himself. “He’s got a big reputation for being a wonderful guy,” she said. But, she said, it was as if Ted Nash had two lives. She said that she didn’t know anything about the experiences Fox described, and that she was not aware of Nash having been involved with underage girls. Nash-Hampe, 87, said that she and Nash divorced in 1972, after she found letters from Nash to some of those “many, many women,” and also that Nash had “kind of abandoned” her and their two young sons. “But then,” she added, “he seemed to have affairs with a lot of women, and that’s one of the reasons I left.” When told of the accusations, Aldina Nash-Hampe, Nash’s first wife, said they were “kind of a surprise to me.” Fox has filed a complaint against Nash with U.S. “He was a very esteemed, very talented manipulator and beloved and looked good and acted right and had all the right credentials,” Fox told The New York Times in a series of interviews, adding that Nash, who died at 88 in 2021, seemed like someone she and her parents could trust.
