No. The phrase is used to indicate that someone is not seeing things clearly/is imagining things. It does not mean that I think you are literally doing drugs. Considering Laurenās battle with drugs (and I am truly sorry about that), I would expect that you would be very against their use.
The thing is that the sport is difficult for everyone. Dressage aināt easy! It is arguably easier if you have money. That can buy you more access to quality horses, trainers, competitions, clinics, etc. Many of us also struggle with old injuries or health conditions while participating in the sport. Sheās actually āahead of the gameā in respect to a lot of people due to the training, horses, and money that she has. It still doesnāt make the sport easy, but she has some advantages, I would say.
I donāt know whether or not the psych facility needs to hear from her, but they probably only want relevant and proven info. Proof doesnāt always seem to be behind what she says. Still waiting for these audios to drop
If Seeker1 really Is KK, she is toxic and delusional because even the most dysfunctional parent of infamous true crime figures usually know enough to shut up and be discrete.
On the other hand if the user name was hijacked or even invented by a family member I doubt the parents would threaten to sue or have it shut down.
I also wonder about the progress of the civil suit. You can hire a criminal defence lawyer to defend anyone no matter how heinous or crazy, as long as the defendent has cash and does not argue with the lawyer. The lawyer may not get you off completely but will count it a professional win if they get your punishment mitigated.
You cannot get a lawyer to run a civil suit claim however unless they think thereās a good chance of winning. And no lawyer likes clients that make fools of their lawyers, for instance by illegally taping them.
So, Iām watching the YouTubeās posted in the Depp Vs Heard thread about liars. Itās kind of fascinating. He talks about liars sell, gestures we see liars make, etcā¦.
One of the things the behavior analysis said is that when someone is lying they tend to give us a lot of completely unrelated details. Sounds like quite a few of LKās posts would fit that billā¦.especially post 70 in Thatās A Twistā¦.
The thing with the USEF/USDF/SS/dressage world in general ādiscriminationā is that it needs to be actual proven discrimination. No one has a ārightā to dressage, these memberships, and/or competition. If someone wants to ban her or treat her a certain way as a direct result of her actions and words, then thatās on her. Those are the consequences of her behaviors. Now, if itās purely BS and discrimination, then by all means, call them out on it.
I can imagine that some entities are a bit hesitant to ban because sheās a victim. A sensationalist that doesnāt take everything into account would go āOMG, they banned (or whatever) a victim of a shooting!1!11!!ā Which, yes, thatād be fact, but being a victim does not absolve you of your bad behaviors. Sure with MB his actions were explained by him being insane, at the time, and some of it had to do with past trauma. So yes, your past could absolve you, in a way, but her negative behaviors began way before this shooting happened, so there is that to look at as well. Plus itās to be analyzed on a case by case basis.
I did ask the question as to what extent a victim should or could be liable and to what extent we hold them responsible for their actions re LK, but none of her supporters, at the time, wanted to answer that question. Itās a tough question and Iām not sure that the answer is so clear, but itās an interesting and complex point of discussion nonetheless.
