No, dude, it's clearly it's not.

I mean, as we see, you know, from early on, the book did face many accusations of lying with Anton LaVey actually even threatened to sue Michelle and Lawrence Pazder for libel, which forced them to concede that the Church of Satan wasn't responsible for abuse while also claiming that the book was accurate.

This is awesome.

Pandora's box already opened.

Cat's out of the bag with this.

It doesn't matter if they had to admit that the Church of Satan wasn't responsible for the abuse.

That's still out already.

People are still believing that.

Right.

And as if Lawrence Pazder wasn't questionable enough, he married Michelle, his former patient, just a few years after the book was released.

Conflict of interest much?

Major.

Yeah, major.

Yeah, it's wild.

But none of this Stop Michelle remembers from being a massive hit.

Lawrence Pazder was then considered a satanic ritual abuse expert.

The book and supposed satanic abuse were featured on various talk shows.

In 1988, the same year Brandy was murdered, Geraldo Rivera, who... talk about grifters...

Yeah, yeah.

Talk about ratings and views.
