Self-help guru Tony Robbins is denying claims of sexual misconduct and abuse published in a scathing report from Buzzfeed News.

On Friday, the outlet published its results of a “year-long investigation” into the 59-year-old author and life coach, alleging that Robbins has berated abuse victims, sexually harassed women and subjected his clients to “potentially dangerous techniques.” The report features records and interviews with fans and insiders, some of whom have accused the mogul of “inappropriate sexual advances.”

However, the guru holds that the report was published with the “malicious intent to ‘take Tony Robbins down.’ “

“It is intended to disparage me personally, my family, my life’s work, and the efforts of the millions of individuals around the globe who have taken this journey with me over the last 40-plus years,” Robbins wrote in an open letter shared via Medium on Friday. “I have never behaved in the reckless, irresponsible, or malicious manner intimated by false, unfounded, and incendiary allegations suggested by BuzzFeed story-tellers.”
