There's always been something off about him. I remember when I saw him in TSN, I thought that's face of a bully right there. So drenched in white privilege that he thought he could get away with anything.

I don’t even know what to say. The whole family is so fucked up. I feel awful for his aunt and I can’t imagine how scary it would be to watch your brothers son grow up and carry out the exact same behaviour

I heard one of the victims didn't like this series cause she felt her trauma being exploited(?)

[my_moloko]

Yeah, she wasn’t interviewed so they used footage from the public statement she made.

fwiw I was following this closely when the first accusations dropped and Effie... I feel for her but she really sabotaged the whole thing. She clearly wasn't stable and I could be wrong but iirc she made easily disproven claims, came out to speak *against* other victims, and generally tried to push her narrative of what had happened to HER on all of AH victims, discreting them. I remember there were rumors of an in depth investigative journalism piece dropping and then Effie went off on insta and it all went dead in the water.

yeah I feel for her but she's messy and kind of a bully to the other victims as well, I'm glad she wasn't a part of this

Lord, this whole thing just makes me ill. I want to shower with Lysol.

So wild... I can't believe it. I truly believe in intergenerational trauma.
