‘I begged the city to clear my name' after doxxing controversy: April Leonard speaks out

April Leonard, Kansas City’s former social media manager, wants to set the record straight: she did not dox Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker in 2024 . “I begged the city to clear my name,” Leonard said in a recent interview with The Star. Top city officials, including Mayor Quinton Lucas, never did, Leonard said. “I begged them,” she said. Leonard sued the city and recently settled claims of a hostile work environment, discrimination and retaliation for $900,000. She had spent seven years in various communications roles — dedication to the city she said almost cost her life.
