repudiator

One who disclaims

A repudiator is someone who repudiates—who rejects, disowns, or refuses to accept something.

The term appears most often in legal contexts, where a repudiator is a party who refuses to fulfill contractual obligations: The court found the seller to be the repudiator when she refused to deliver the goods.

Outside law, it describes anyone who publicly disavows beliefs, affiliations, or responsibilities.
