MB Civil Trial: JK/KK Contempt of Court?

Sidebar from the current discussions regarding board contracts and LE testimony at the criminal trial.

I have been looking at the timelines @ekat so generously provided the other day (in hopes of trying to figure out a way to make some sort of visual chart - but it’s not going well, so don’t chomp at the bit too much waiting for them).

At any rate - I noticed that there were only a few events in April, May and June, and then things heated up drastically after June 24. For example:
4/3 - LK FB post with veiled warnings or threats
4/20 - LK FB post with veiled warnings or threats
4/26 - LK FB post with not so veiled putdown apparently aimed at MHG
4/27 - Barn meeting with MB, MHG, LK, JK
late May/early June - Symphony arrives at HH
June (date unknown) - MB/Tarshis discussion re getting LK to leave
6/24 - LK FB post regarding surveillance devices, with veiled warnings or threats

Then began an absolute flurry of posts, text messages, etc. (According to ekat’s list, there were 23 separate incidents/activities in July, and 38(!) in just the first week of August.)

So nothing between 4/3 and 4/20. And nothing through most of May and first part of June. Then things started unraveling at a rapid pace in late June.

So what happened in June to cause her to go so completely off the deep end? Is it possible that was when she learned that MB wanted her to leave? And that realization was what drove her to go nuclear and launch a war of retaliation against MB?

It is looking more and more as though MB isn’t the only one that had a breakdown - only hers preceded his by a good 30-60 days.

That’s possible.

Did they attend a show somewhere in the interim? Maybe if she did not get the scores she wanted with whatever the recent training program was, that set her off.

There are people who think the squeaky wheel gets the grease, rather than an eviction notice.

Quoting this again to reference timeline.

So it looks like on 4/20 LK posts on FB that she has put up cameras around the property. Entirely possible this is when the recording devices were planted. July 10th, LK references recordings and “memos,” which has been established as something LK used when recording conversations. I think it’s safe to assume she overheard conversations in July. I imagine they were not pleasant and she was fully aware no one liked her or wanted her there.

April 27th, MHG personally tells LK to leave.

Beginning of June, LK brings another horse to the farm, making that the 4th horse. I think this was a key event in creating turmoil leading up to July and August.

Also in June, Tarshis and MB are negotiating LK’s exit. I think this was also a very key event to LK even though I do believe LK knew she was no longer wanted sooner by that, at the very minimum by MHG in April.

People have answered you and said, yea, they have seen that be the case. You didn’t like their answers and claimed not to believe them. I don’t see why the discussion would continue at that point but since you obviously don’t want to let it go, how about starting your own thread on that topic since it isn’t even tangentially related to the Barisone case

Do you even know what gaslighting is?

ETA: let’s clarify things.

gas·light
/ˈɡaslīt/
verb
gerund or present participle: gaslighting

  1. manipulate (someone) by psychological means into questioning their own sanity.

You’ve made at least 5 posts, maybe more, IRT boarding contracts. You’ve questioned me at least twice, maybe 3 times, asking me to repeat the same answer over and over because you didn’t like my first answer. I asked you why you are so focused on this topic, and somehow I am psychologically manipulating you to question your sanity? I’m gaslighting you?

I’m asking you why you can’t accept the first answer you received by me, or the various other answers you’ve received by numerous other posters. That’s called a straight forward and logical question, not gaslighting.

I’m wondering why you continue to focus on a topic despite having been given a plethora of answers. Are you purposely attempting to derail the thread?

Lauren and Jonathan Kanarek admit that their problem was MHG and that they thought that since Lauren was paying for Michael’s time that he should pick Lauren over his girlfriend.
I think what happened was, until that point she thought being her miserable/sneaking/tormenting self would get Michael to be pushed into doing what she wanted, because he had been pushed into doing what she had wanted in the past. When it started to look like she was not going to get her way, she went into overdrive to get her way. She never imagines (now or then) that things will not go her way.

It is VERY clear that several posters in this thread have no idea what gaslighting is.

I lived it with my ex. Thought I was losing my mind for a while. What some posters here think is gaslighting shows they have no idea!

Lol. That’s pretty funny. I’m so guilty of this I’ve stopped trying. I never get it right.

You know, most people, if they aren’t happy with a trainer, just go find a new one. LK’s actual response to the situation is one I would never imagine. The idea that LK wanted a personal relationship with MB is very plausible to me.

The hysterics and drama amongst these thread is astounding. And often tiring.

Sh*t. I’m pretty up to date on sayings and such, but apparently not. Have I entered the elderly part of the mob? Now I’m sad. Off to find a white bathrobe. (Begrudgingly)

Actually the correct term is UPON information and belief.

That’s how families with money operate. They think they can buy off their atrocious behavior with cash.

I’ll make it easy for our elderly. Refer to the 1944 movie, Gaslight, with Ingrid Bergman. Directed by Cukor.

Ding, Ding, Ding! That would be my guess!

For her, living on the farm was very, very important. Look, she really didn’t have much to do except wander down to the barn and ride one of her four horses when she felt like it. Man, I would like that life!

All along I have thought that there has to some other reason other than the proximity to the horses or $0 rent for them being so emphatic that they had to stay there. Was there someone on the farm or someone who came often (like a delivery driver) who was a “supplier”? Her struggle to stay there has always seemed overdone to me. :woman_shrugging:t2:

Thanks for posting this Jenerationx it leads into something I saw posted on a bookstore.

A fact is information minus emotion,
An opinion is information plus experience.
Ignorance is an opinion lacking information.
And, stupidity is an opinion that ignores a fact.

To clarify: His focused, dedicated, talented, currently riding FEI levels girlfriend. It wasn’t just the romantic component that made the difference
