That. Is. Insane.
That would be a very full week, never mind all in a single day.

Her manifesto alone probably took a good chunk of time.

Of course they want all the information they can get. Both to defend against the suit by LK and to pursue their cross claim against MB, @trubandloki.
I wonder if she had the manifesto all prepared and ready to go in advance, so she could post it at the moment when she thought it would have the most impact.
I was thinking last week about how the newspapers have obituaries all prepared in advance for celebrities, so they are ready to post them at a moment’s notice. Maybe this was the same approach for LK.

Mine too, every single time I look at that.

Wait, what about the LK post that the sweet, elderly couple that owned SGF begged LK to stay?
That might have been after the shooting.

Silly I know but I figure you must not realize it since you do it so often. When you quote someone they get a notification. There is no reason to also tag them. Some people, not me, but I can think of some, might find it confrontational for you to quote and tag. Just a heads up. Don’t want you to risk getting people mad at you for not good reason.
Curious, how/where is SGF pursuing their cross complaint? I must have missed that action so it must be going on somewhere else maybe? Please let us know so we can follow that too.

That post was after the shooting.
You are correct.
I think that post might be as accurate as most of the posts that Lauren Kanarek made on social media.

Wasn’t that part of her posts here on COTH after the shooting?

Yeah, I know. I cringe every time I go in. Here’s hoping you get good news.
I have CLL

SGF filed a cross complaint against MB. I don’t see how you could have missed it, @trubandloki.

Can they subpoena her credit card statements and Amazon order history? Seems like it should be pretty easy for them to determine when cameras were purchased forensically.

I’ve followed along when I have time. Here’s my take on the K’s lack of response to the civil case:
The K’s never expected that MB would not be found straight guilty of attempted murder. In their minds, once that happened, all the requisite parties would be anxious to settle and offer an acceptable settlement amount. They banked on the alluded to audio & video being enough to push the needle in the direction of harming MB and getting a decent settlement.
Well, that didn’t happen.
But rather than quietly dropping the civil case, with a “We are disappointed at the jury’s finding, but just want to put this all behind us and focus on healing and the future”. But no, they doubled down. Now, those pesky, potentially illegally obtained videos are a huge problem. So they continue to avoid and deflect. New lawyer? Check. New judge? Check. Ignore subpoenas? Check.
Any parties that were contemplating settling took one look at how LK & RG played out on the stand and then decided to see this all the way through.
So now the “solid gold” recordings need to go away. But one problem - LK would not shut up about them all over all of her SM accounts, including how she gave them to at least one person, if not multiple, for safekeeping.
The Ks are probably contemplating what will hurt more - the potential fine for destroying evidence or potentially losing the civil case. Especially if the recordings do not paint LK in a flattering light.
If, as we suspect, LK’s money is in some sort of protected structure, there may not be much to pay off any potential settlement. Her Florida house is protected to my knowledge as a primary residence (nice way to shelter several hundreds of thousands of dollars). If any assets are in a irrevocable trust, I believe it is quite difficult for those to be touched for a settlement. Who legally owns her horses? Not the USEF registration, on the legal contracts. Even before all this, it would have made sense for them to be owned by a LLC for liability purposes.
I will add the requisite disclaimer - I don’t have any insider information regarding any of my above observation - just how it appears to me having observed how all the parties involved have comported themselves over the last 3+ years.

Didn’t she say she hustled down to Home Depot to buy those, or was that for the smoke detectors for the house after Fire Marshall sent them packing?

Her credit card statements may already be covered under that whole financial disclosure they requested due to that loss of income claim.
I don’t know that I personally would chase down a purchase on Amazon when she could have sent her fetch-it boy out to Best Buy with cash or many other options.
It’s almost better to use all her conflicting statements as they stand to rock her credibility.

that is my assessment of this situation. The only addition is that MamaPop came here and talked about her knowledge and role in the recordings as well.

@CurrentlyHorseless, I think you are missing the actual question here. Sorry that I confused you (I assume you are simply confused).
@CurrentlyHorseless, Of course SGF has cross claims against both defendants, as do the other defendants. For your reading pleasure, here is SGF’s.
The question that you have missed is, how are they pursuing them? Are they looking for an indemnification waiver from Michael?
Has there been a settlement to reduce their potential liability? Has there been a judgment against them already that they can try to get Michael and/or RC to pay? What actions are they taking to “pursue their cross claim”?
I also do not see how the videos they are requesting play into these pursuits? Can you explain that @CurrentlyHorseless?
Does this clarify my question, @CurrentlyHorseless?
I hope so.
Your posts, @CurrentlyHorseless, make it sound like SGF is simply suing Michael, and that is not what is happening here at all.

Even if they were not contemplating settling, they probably felt much better about their decision after seeing the impression LK and RG made in court.
