CW: child abuse and spiritual abuse

Y’all know I’m a big critic of @dalepartridge and recently @godisgreyxo did an expose on Dale’s mentor Matt Jacobson. He is accused of “sadistic” and “extreme” abuse.
Video link:

Matt Jacobson is a former book agent and author, blogger, and “pastor” and has been accused of child abuse by his adult daughter.
He has not responded but @GodisGreyxo and fans have asked @dalepartridge and @isaactolpin to comment as they are related to Matt.
Both published open letters to @GodisGreyxo in which they deny any knowledge of abuse. They also distance themselves from Matt Jacobson.
I will focus on Dale’s response in which he states:
Dale is attempting to distance from Matt Jacobson and is saying “we stay in touch”.

Since @GodisGreyxo launched the #IStandWithStelle campaign Dale has begun deleting references to Matt from his website.
Here is a screenshot from the page. You can also view the cached version at http://archive.org  This shows the image of Matt Jacobson appeared at http://Releanchurch.org  on May 11th, 2020

Here @Dalepartridge calls Matt his mentor.
In a now deleted section of http://relearnchurch.org , it also shows Dale and Matt have been writing a book together. It was slate to be released "soon".
You can also see this page from http://relearnchurch.org , discussing the book and showing their connection as of May 19th, 2020.
Dale also endorsed Matt and Lisa and this image appeared on Matt's page until May 22nd. It has now been deleted.

Questions:

Why was Matt a mentor, co-author, and leader to Dale last week but his statement distances and alludes to them only "staying in touch?

Why is Dale deleting references to Matt Jacobson and their work together?
Dale also criticizes @GodisGreyxo for not getting permission to use his content. This from a man who has repeatedly accused of and documented to have plagiarized extensive content himself.
