Few thoughts... - Would you go running and screaming down a hotel hallway if you tripped in the room and hit your head? - Why would her sister tweet out what was basically a death threat for Porter right after the incident if she tripped? - Regardless whether she lied that night or is lying now, I still want to say THANK YOU Kysre! Either way that POS is gone.
if the defendant promised in millions for a cover up....I am a conspiracy theorist....at least I feel like one...not really!
White Knights in shambles. Kid is found out to be innocent, but he's still a "POS" ... Ol' ClutchFans and their virtue warriors (of convenience). Hopefully KPJ can regain traction in his career and move on from this. Definitely needs to be mindful of drinking in excess and inviting issues into his life because of substance abuse.
I suspect it really happened. If I had to a venture a guess, she ran down the hall screaming in fear. Now she's farther removed from the danger. She still cares about him, as is normal for victims of abuse, and realizes his whole career is ruined if she doesn't drop charges. She could have also reached a settlement. Who knows. I just think the idea that this is all some vicious plot of hers to gain attention and notoriety is ridiculous. I suspect she'd have rather had a healthy relationship with him and gone on to get married to him. Or hell, if she really wanted money she'd have gotten pregnant and gotten that NBA child support. There are a lot of ways she could have gotten rich from being with Kevin Porter Jr that involved nowhere near as much public scrutiny. I'll never know for sure. Neither will you. But it's just weird to me how so many people are so quick to defend the alleged abuser and assume the worst about the alleged victim.
It was inevitable that this or something like it would have happened eventually. In a way we’re just lucky it happened when it did, before the season. Not going to lie — it would have been interesting to see how Coach Udoka would have handled Porter had this not happened. Udoka seems to be all about developing the right habits and discipline, and KPJ would have been a challenge to that.
Anybody that believes this is a moron or being intentionally obtuse. Really can’t believe there are adults walking around among us that can’t piece this together. It’s amazing to me that some people can function in society with the way their brain works.
You got it a little mixed up. I never said it was a sinister plot, she herself told the media that she wanted her life back......(not incl. the Porter millions I assumed) That included getting her sponsor back, getting her modeling job back....etc.....but yep that got put on hold .....so she is the victim. There are people that still do not believe her so there is that. Going on TV to do that is fine but I would not have defended KPJ on TV though.....that is something I am not really comfortable with. I questioned some of her choices, which are not the best IMHO, that is all. Becoming KPJ's S/O is not the best of all choices.
Isn't this the first time she's been interviewed? You can't change details when you've only said something once
You jumping back on the Kevin Porter Jr. bandwagon is the most DaDakota thing in the world. FWIW No one - other than dudes that beat women - believe that Kevin Porter Jr. has been vendicated.
I subscribe to letting the courts and the investigation determine and sort out the facts. Women have a great ally in the legal, media, public opinion, etc systems, and the onus is on KPJ to clear his name. Much like the Johnny Depp vs Amber Hearst case, women do make stuff up too. Johnny Depp’s career was practically ruined, based on her allegations. But though it may not seem fair to ruin a man’s career, in order to keep women safer, it’s the price we as a society accept. The good thing is that the disturbance was reported almost immediately, so bruising , cuts, witnesses, and other evidence will more likely be available to support the truth.
Come on, he beat the **** out of her. She felt bad for him and her sister forced an expensive settlement. She felt bad because she is gullible, and that usually happens to people that have self-worth issues. A sob story about the people he needs to take care of would do the trick. They told the police that if they insisted her initial statements are true then they would launch a tirade about victim shaming. His actions are garbage. I'm glad he's not on our team. I hope this settlement doesn't empower him to ignore his health any longer. People with those kinds of issues are not meant to be in high pressure jobs under the spotlight. There are no evil people in the world, there are only evil actions by traumatized people. The people who do the most damage are the most damaged. Often they are described by close people around them as compassionate. That's a fact from Hitler to Miles Bridges, they're all on one axis to varying degrees. The theory of evil vs non evil people makes it impossible to identify evil actions. That's not a coincidence. F*cked up world where money allows you to legally brush violent abuse under the rug. At least she's alive. I wish her well too, she also needs help.
Yeah I remember tripping on my bed so hard that I went screaming down the hall of the hotel, with the security calling the police and ambulance before getting taken to the hospital for treatment. Hell of a hard bed
Exactly my thoughts. There really is a wide spectrum of iq/logic along with intelligence in society. There are people exponentially smarter than me out there. Then people not so much. The thing is a lot of them do not know it. The verbal C poster in this thread on this page. Are they serious? Hard to tell but if they are how do they function ?
This is unfortunately all too common in domestic violence cases. I see it everyday. The abused recanting because the abuser is a master manipulator. Sad. No matter what happens, he's not a Rocket anymore, thank god.
You sir are a useful idiot. I watched 24 minutes of the video and I too agree that it makes no sense that her version of what happened would put her in the mental statement she is describing here. Her mother sounded like a shade tree attorney on the phone too. Hopefully there is body cam of what she actually told the police at the scene.
Just quote direct if you want dialogue why beat around the bush? This woman just came out and gave her first detailed statement but now some of you want to discredit her story because YOU have the real scoop? "I know how these things work she's just brainwashed poor thing" "I know she's lying because why would she run around scared after her drunk boyfriend showed up acting goofy" "KPJ BROKE HER NECK THATS ATTEMPTED MURDER" "She's just covering for him -- now I dont feel sorry for her" This is all common sense stuff and doesnt require an esoteric knowledge of domestic violence or hidden cams to be be able to take things at face value. So now the woman who already had a successful career in her own right is a gold digger who is going to sweep this under the rug for a pay day? Shes claiming police tampered with evidence and gave a faulty account of her statement, but you dont want to listen to that right because it interferes with the predispositions that were already there prior to this incident. This looks like its getting dismissed, but the court of public opinion has spoken! And Im the one with some sort of fundamental issue with critical thinking? JFC. DOMESTIC VIOLENCE IS BAD ... know what else is bad? Being accused of something you didnt do.
