Oh, like guys, let's not shine light on this because like this woman needs help and we shouldn't really, you know, we shouldn't make this worse than what it is.

It was bullshit.

Yeah, I mean, first, I would make sure that you have an adequate support system in place because I think a lot of this, well, a lot of your emotional energy is going to go towards fighting this individual.

Of course, you have to assess how seriously they're going to fight you.

So there's levels.

If they're just going to send you some messages, block them.

You know, if they obviously show up to your house, call the cops.

You know, I mean, make sure that you're protected.

If you need to get an order of protection, do that.

But I do.

I think that you should go straight to getting order of protection, straight to taking them to court, straight to defamation.

No, because I think, of course, like if you do that to somebody that's texting you and you ramp up the, you know, all of a sudden the severity of it, like you can piss them off, you know, and that's where you have to.

It's like you don't fight fire with fire per se until like fire is the only thing you can fight with.

I think, you know, someone going through something similar, it's like, hey, just try to.

let it subside you know just stop interacting with them block their phone number if they email you block their email make sure like that you know you you have a good support system in place to keep your emotions at bay so you don't keep suppressing all this have an outlet to get out like your struggles um and so the things you're feeling because you don't want to push those down

uh because otherwise they'll bubble up and then and then just from there and then and then react accordingly um there does come a point where if you're fighting against somebody that is not going to let it go then i do believe there's that point where you go okay i'm switching from uh reactive to proactive and that's what i did i i got to a point where i said you know i'm tired of being reactive this woman is not going to stop i have to now take charge i have to get ahead of her game and put the pressure on her by becoming proactive so i hired a legal team and

filed in the court to get her to prove that she was pregnant.

And that's where things switched.

All of a sudden I was like, no, we're not playing your game.

We're going to play my game.
