This is why we shouldn’t put men on a pedalstool. I’m shocked to see so many people ignoring this. He is an active user on bluesky we have to be consistent. Believe all victims
This looks very bad to me. "Had established consent" (by directly asking?) is a sensible standard in many situations, but not with
1) An employee
2) In his house
3) Just after meeting her.
Completely ignores power in the situation, and the ability to coerce. Very bad indeed.
Wondering if this was what was behind the 'I had to break various laws to flee New Zealand and make for my cottage in Scotland during Covid because it was urgent' thing.
It's a topic of much irritation to me that his wife made a very conscious choice to stay in NZ BEFORE official lockdown and summoned him and their kid to join from overseas, but went on about how they were stranded here. There were zero restrictions on leaving NZ.
Sorry, but I can't let that stand-public perception, warped by media and the vicissitudes of people with axes to grind is one thing, reality is another. I met Amanda numerous times during her time here, she's opinionated, yes, psychopathic? Not at all
I mean, if you fake your suicide, record your boyfriend's reaction to that "suicide", and then include that recording in a song that you release publicly, i think you're a terrible fucking person, and absolutely psychopathic. But that's just me.
