(my comment made on 02/01/2026)

Great phrase regarding RR, "The mask did not slip, it got unsealed by a court of law." I am an ordinary person who used to watch and re-watch Deadpool movies. I cannot any more. Even with the Deadpool mask, that voice takes me out of the movie. I did read (legacy media, so who knows) that Marvel put back an RR film onto their schedule, that had previously been put on hold. You know what my first thought was, I wonder who was paid or rewarded or threatened for that to happen. Likely, I am wrong, but that thought came like a reflexive action. For the next few years these celebrities (probably most of the actors from IEWU) might want to keep their heads down, feet off the red carpet and please for the sake of our sanity stop your PR from  planting stories of hospital visits/donations, cheering at your sponsored soccer team 's games or baking inedible (allegedly 😉) cakes.

Posted to The Spotlight Shift (BL vs. JB/Wayfarer unsealed texts) Uploaded to You Tube on 02/01/2026

I  began having doubts about BL's claims when JB and Wayfarer employees, friends and relatives were sent to the basement of the theater showing the premiere. I mean who does that to the director and production company? I do remember when I went from considering this a pretty people problem to becoming quite upset. My anger came when BL's legal team sent over 100 subpoenas to people with absolutely nothing to do with this case except that they commented impartially then used critical thinking skills to realize the details did not line up. Most of the recipients of these subpoenas did not have millions or even thousands for legal expense. Punching down is a very bad look, especially when you want everyone's sympathy, support and sustained fandom. I agree that PGA letter was both a proclamation of power and an epic fail of judgement. Unfortunately you are probably correct, PR articles already written are waiting in the wings destined to be cut and pasted into legacy media, giving a positive spin regarding BL and RR. They had better have a 6 foot stack of letters as it will take considerable spin to make all of us forget what lies beneath the pomp and circumstance of Hollywood.

Posted to Dave Neal-Rush Hour (RE: Sunday news updates) Uploaded to YT on 02/01/2026

After that PGA letter, it seems like all BL has left for that jury trial in May 2026, is that smear campaign that supposedly produced dislike for BL on social media. I do not think that she actually cares (or even  understands how social media works). Why care when legacy media is praising her as if she was the savior of humankind? BL may be miffed about her popularity and likability, but this PR show isn't for us (aka the people who shop at COSTCO and worry about their next mortgage payment). My speculation is that her audience for all the SEO is, ALLEGEDLY, movie studios, investors, insurers, A-list directors, casting agents, essentially the power brokers of Hollywood...imo 😉

I understand BL's legal team. You hire an expert, you pay that expert, you expect that expert to help you...expertly. However Dr. Freyd has done, as any astute expert giving depositions to a court should do, cover their posterior with lots of disclaimers. These disclaimers are sufficient to cover the doctor in a court of law. However, the court of public opinion does not always read past the article title and the first paragraph. Plus I hypothesize that SONY is probably not happy with Dr. Freyd either. Should she be advised to hire...a crisis PR person? 😜

NOT POSTED: Jennifer Joy Freyd, PhD is an American psychologist, researcher, author, educator, and speaker. Freyd is an extensively published scholar who is best known for her theories of betrayal trauma, DARVO, institutional betrayal, and institutional courage

Posted to NotActuallyGolden (RE: Follow up on Dr. Freyd's report/she was not deposed) 02/02/2026

WARNING: incoming rant. I do not care if BL's legal team found a necromancer then acquired and submitted expert reports from Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Charles Darwin, Leonardo da Vinci, Aristotle and Earl Warren (in no particular order of intellect or influence). If even these experts were missing even one piece of data, said reports are worthless (although the necromancy aspect might be intriguing). I am not blaming Dr. Freyd, she did include disclaimers. However to use a PR expression, actions like this dilute her brand and more importantly her message. What really irks me is us (aka the public) being thought of as that dim, that clueless by the plaintiff's legal team. NAG indicated that this stunt worked. I would like to argue that, but as usual she is likely correct. Correct in that all those small town industry execs  (aka Hollywood denizens) and finance people think hiring Dr. Freyd is a nifty idea.

Posted to LittleGirlAttorney (RE: Who is responsible for/owns "the cut" of IEWU) 02/01/2026

Oh the irony that continues its march towards extreme-irony. Had BL and RR, allegedly, not put this coup into motion, we would not: (1) understand the significance of terms like, astroturfing, SEO, crisis PR  (2) realize just how impotent MSM/legacy media is and finally (3) feel that the entertainment industry needs to be placed in one of Dante's 9 circles of h3ll (Inferno from The Divine Comedy). Personally I am stuck on 3 choices of those 9 circles: Circle 4 is Greed, Circle 8 is Fraud and Circle 9 is Treachery. NOTE: this is all supposition, speculation, hypothesis with touch of snark. That being said I would welcome the experience of seeing a subpoena being sent to Dante Alighieri at his last known (as of 1321) address, Ravenna Italy. Hey a girl can dream.

This is not law, just a gut feeling, speculation and all the allegedly's to protect against sus subpoenas. In the months upcoming to the trial, RR and BL will be doing increasingly more volunteer/donation behaviors. They may even hint that they have a project "in development". It will be "rumored" that Maximum Effort has expanded to major studio status with several celebrities (guess who😜) interested in "projects". I am not ruling out a new family member, perhaps child #5, either thru traditional means or adoption. In the days and hours before the court date in May 2026 NDAs will flutter down upon Hollywood and New York like the first spring rainfall of the season. NOTE: hope this poem is public domain, it is slightly revised 🤣. "And away they all flew, every exec, cast and crew like the sounds of cash accruing, But I heard them all explain as they transported out of sight, Happy Litigation to all and to all a good night."

The only thing Jeffrey Epstein believed in was himself. The only allegiance he had, was to himself. I could see him working for certain governments that wished to compromise certain individuals. If Epstein took it to double agent status, he was playing a highly dangerous game. Spoiler, not so much, but he "lost" that game at Metropolitan Correctional Center-NYC on August 10, 2019. As for Satanism, well some of Epstein's "guests" may shrug off images with their arm around a woman who may actually be under the age of consent by saying, I did not know. However to be seen with said girl while in demonic cosplay would likely get you voted out of office or kicked out of your company and ripped apart online. POSSIBLE READING: maybe it was said in jest, but didn't Epstein indicate that (the now former) Prince Andrew was even more twisted than he (aka Epstein) was? Of course, maybe we do NOT want to know?

Posted to Brian Entin (RE: latest updates regarding Nancy Guthrie) Uploaded to You Tub 02/03/2026

Thank you Brian Entin for this concise, clear coverage. If the Ring camera that was removed had subscription coverage, there would be cloud storage.  While neighbor's cameras would not show Nancy's house, other Ring/security cameras might show any odd behavior in that neighborhood by people who were not residents or known workers. I agree the newly surfacing and late timing of multiple ransom notes seems odd.  While this crime may have started as a burglary, it has now accelerated to a kidnapping hence the FBI involvement. Before this crime becomes life in prison w/o possibility for parole concerning the perpetrators, it would be prudent to take Mrs. Guthrie to a hospital immediately. While we should not expect compassion at this point, I am sure that self-preservation would be a factor.  I am hoping for a quick, satisfactory resolution for Nancy Guthrie.

Never heard of Peter Attlia. It might be my prejudice, but when I come across anyone who has not attained their title by doing all the work, I wonder, speculate and yes I do make assumptions. Why does he allow that title to be used when any reference is made to him in media?  The tone of his "apology" letter reinforces my opinion that MR. Attlia sees himself as innocent, above reproach and "doesn't get it". Will CBS fire him? IMO only if the money indicates that is the direction to take. Using Tina Turner's powerful song about love, let me rephrase its signature line in corporate terms, "What's ethics but a second hand conception...."

Posted to Kjersti Flaa (RE: BL team release more video of dance scene from IEWU) 02/03/2026

At this point, I think those new video releases by BL's team of the rooftop scene is intended content solely for MSM/legacy media. It is almost 2nd hand embarrassment seeing those stories being published as news. As for the actual author of that scene's rewrite, I still do not know how he can get away with it as that was during the WGA strike. Likely the inclusion of Dr. Freyd's report is also PR. At least Dr. Freyd was smart enough to include disclaimers such as she was only judging the situation with the information as provided by her employer (word choice "employer" is mine). However, if one does not read the entire report, you might mistake Dr. Freyd for supporting the plaintiff's side. A result might be to potentially weaken the concept and brand of DARVO. Were Dr. Freyd to hire a crisis PR person (SO ironic if that happened) the advice given might include donating a substantial portion of the payment for this report to a woman's shelter. woman's health clinic or work collaborative ASAP.

Posted to NotActuallyGolden (RE: What can be admitted as evidence to BLvs JBet al trial) 02/04/2026

One thing that we need, I include myself, is to keep reminding ourselves that we must apply the law impartially. We have to use it equally to apply to the worst of us, in order to be able to apply to the best and rest of us. (BTW I am not implying, nor intending, to put anyone involved in this case in any category 😉.) QUESTION: I know about spousal privilege, however with all those alleged "shell" companies that BL and RR own, RR writing that rooftop scene (wasn't there a writer's strike then?) and the shouting sessions which should have been business meetings...can RR be forced to testify? If so would he plead the 5th on every IEWU/WGA/business question or could he simply state, spousal privilege?

If there is any In Memoriam published on this therapist's life, I wonder if you could read or screen grab it for this channel? Obviously edit out any names or other identifiers. With the brief information that we have this clinician sounded compassionate and dedicated. As for her patient, he would never believe it from me, a stranger, but this is in the extreme.  I do not know if he had a military background or self-defense training. However I do know that he likely got up that morning ready only to face mundanity with perhaps a bit of stress knowing he had a time-sensitive appointment. This person was in his clinician's office trying to heal. Instead he exceeded all expectations by trying to save a life.  May his physical recovery be quick and complete. May he eventually process this horrific event to become the person that both he and his therapist envisioned for his future.

Posted to NotActuallyGolden (SONY texts/emails on IEWU issues filming and premiere) 02//04/2026

I do not understand how the whole hierarchy of production companies, studios, cast or anything in the entertainment business works. Did SONY get lazy and not pay attention? SONY was the adult in the room (whether on set or not) for IEWU. They knew that their children were squabbling. We have the receipts. Is SONY legally responsible? Morally maybe, however legally is a whole different reality. I really do not see anyone, even Wayfarer, suing SONY. There was that law suit that Scarlett Johansson won against Marvel (essentially Disney). However she had a contract which Bob Chapek (then CEO at Disney) foolishly chose to ignore, along with warnings from others such as Scarlett Johansson's agent/manager. In trying to show his worth to Disney, Bob Chapek lost his job, the trust of the board & the stockholders. Perhaps some may consider themselves invincible (all those superhero movies😉 )? The reality is, filing a lawsuit against SONY is not just burning a bridge. That act would be dropping your power, career and wealth into a massive wildfire.

Posted to Kjersti Flaa (RE: It is fake ) Uploaded to You Tube on 02/05/2026

As with the acquisition of DARVO expert's (Dr. Jennifer Freyd) report, my speculation is that this latest report is yet another pre-trial PR effort to change public (probably more targeted to Hollywood execs allegedly not the brightest bulbs in the room...allegedly😉), opinion. As with Dr. Freyd's report, this latest expert (in smear campaigns...again I have to say; allegedly?) report would NEVER stand up to the scrutiny of a defense cross or the jury's impressions regarding: (1) collection of data (2) use of that data (3) application and (4) conclusions based on (1) (2) (3). This is a VERY old expression: GIGO. And YES that acronym applies to any (not necessarily to either of those referenced🤣 in this comment ) expert's report.  BTW Kjersti, excellent critical thinking as usual with your explanation of the "little bump" timeline and relevance. You have effectively neutralized the efficacy of this smear campaign report.👏👏

Posted to Brian Entin (RE: latest update in Nancy Guthrie case) Uploaded to You Tube 02/05/2026

I do appreciate these timely, clear and concise updates by Brian Entin. I was very unhappy to learn that there was no subscription for the doorbell camera. Perhaps there were privacy concerns, but still for so little money there might have been evidence. My assumption is that there were other cameras in and around the home. If accurate, are none of them on subscription? Glad to hear that there has been an arrest of an individual sending a fake ransom demand. While gratifying that they were caught, it still amazes me regarding the immense cluelessness. foolishness and mindlessness of some people. What the (retired) FBI agent hinted at, is the seemingly lack of mention of Annie Guthrie's husband in all of this. I agree, this seems odd, out of place. Living only 10 minutes away, both Annie and her spouse should have been actively helping Nancy Guthrie in daily activities. It has been 6 days (as of this post) since the abduction of Nancy Guthrie. For an elderly person with medical/mobility issues, that is a very long time. 

Posted to Kenz (RE: BL's Clothing on IEWU) Uploaded to You Tube on 02/05/2026

I have had babies. It does takes a toll on one's body. However, BL took on this movie role voluntarily. I did not like her on set wardrobe (from movie clips, I did not see the movie). Although in part (the loose part😉) I do understand her motivation due to naturally feeling uncomfortable post-pregnancy.  As for a stylist trying to explain away this movie's odd fashion for its main character as being a metaphor for a hurt person trying to be invisible, nope not even close to a proper explanation. A hurt person trying to be invisible would be in dark neutrals, no bright colors not even in her hair, no jewelry and certainly no Louboutins. The wacky, weird, wild fashion she wore on the PR tour, well that was a whole different situation. BL (?RR) chose those outfits for a body after weeks of workouts. The PR push of "wear your florals and bring your friends" seems to be the tone-deaf reactions of someone who did NOT read THE book. 😜

Posted to Mollie McPherson (RE: Latest Press Conference on Nancy Guthrie) Uploaded 02/05/2026

I find so much odd (well apart from the chaotic presser). An elderly women with health and mobility issues living alone, yet no subscription for the doorbell ring camera that was essentially her first line of protection? Were there any other cameras either inside or around the home? If so, still none with subscriptions? Savannah Guthrie has fame and wealth. However she is not a CEO of a tech company.  She is not an internationally famous actor. So why abduct her mother, Nancy Guthrie? I agree with other comments. This is either a burglary gone wrong or someone either working/living locally who had a really bad plan. They abducted an adult who is frail and not very mobile. I believe that all Nancy Guthrie's cards (bank, credit, ATM, ID) were left at the home along with her phone. I also agree that blaming the press, is a massive indicator of disorganization by those who should know and do better. Not sure if it was analyzed on this channel, but remember the presser in the case regarding the tragedy of Melodee Buzzard?  I believe LE and DA's office THANKED the press for keeping this case in the news.

Posted to Mollie McPherson (RE: Convo with former news producer) Uploaded to YT 02/05/2026

Great discussion! Reminds me that I should go on Substack more often. IMO the abduction of Nancy Guthrie has become so widely reported and engaged people's fascination is that this incident feels like an anomaly. Not to diminish the potential tragedy of this abduction, but it is an unsolved puzzle. If a burglary gone wrong, why was Nancy Guthrie taken off the property?  If this was a kidnapping why no ransom note?  Why leave a potential source of cash such as the victim's possessions (credit, ATM, ID cards) at the home with the phone. Why kidnap someone who needs so much care due to health conditions including a need for daily meds? Why leave meds at the home?  Did they know she has a pacemaker? Many pacemakers now connect with phones. While leaving the phone at the house, ended the interaction of the pacemaker and the phone, suspending the communication between the phone and the pacemaker gave LE/FBI critical timeline data. Most kidnappers have a plan. Usually it is a bad plan, but still is...a plan. I hope the kidnappers come to their senses and take Nancy Guthrie to a hospital ASAP. As bad as the punishment is for kidnapping, I guarantee the punishment for M1 is so much worse.

It is hard to have any sympathy for someone who allegedly tried to steal another's property, lied about her boss to her co-workers, exploited her friendships and then decided all that wasn't enough and went to federal court. Embarrassed? Embarrassing is encouraging your fans to wear florals and invite their friends for a fun girls' night out to a film about generational DV with vivid scenes of DV.

THANK YOU for sharing. This is a potentially life saving message for someone out there. Over the years I have been the patient of physicians who obviously thought that they worked at a fast food restaurant not a medical center. Get the client in, then get them out FAST.  Due to my health issues accompanied by a family history of strokes, clots and heart attacks, I was put on a blood thinner (81 mg of enteric aspirin once/day) as a prophylactic treatment. Fortunately, this medication is inexpensive, obtainable over the counter and has relatively few side effects (rarely stomach ulcers, any acid reflux can worsen and bleeds can be more copious).While there are disclaimer enclosures that come with prescription drugs they are usually in Barbie-doll font and not very clear. The doctor should thoroughly explain any new meds to the patient. While I would not sue, I would write the directors of each of the institutions that sent you away with a diagnosis of being overweight or viral infection. They failed you and they failed their oath as physicians. They did not: (1)apparently take a proper history [did they know you were on bc?], (2)perform basic tests (like CBC) and (3) keep you in hospital until that pulse rate was normal. In any letter, I would include a link to this video as you did an excellent, effective commentary regarding a very scary event.

If I was not aware of what Epstein did to be convicted, I would simply label him as an egotist, without empathy or ethics. I see no signs of depression or sadness. I hate to admit it, but he was charismatic. I can only imagine the shock of the girls he hired, once they realized what creature (not THE devil, but certainly A devil) that now controlled their lives. I agree that this interview is likely a training session to perfect Epstein's acceptance in society as a person who earned his wealth due to his acumen with investing. This video still might have been incorporated with additional film and released had Epstein not moved to Hades the old fashioned way. Or perhaps someone saw the image of the scariest creature on the planet, a monster who looked just like us thus decided no thanks?

This is a tragedy, as even if still alive, Nancy Guthrie will have suffered physical and emotional injuries that will likely make living independently impossible. This whole kidnapping seems like the work of amateurs who probably based their strategy on movies and other fantasies. I believe it was one the the retired FBI agents who said that the wording of the ransom notes seemed more "competent" that this whole kidnapping. If any of those notes were from the kidnappers, that implies assistance from another. Doubtful another human conspirator would be added to this group so perhaps ChatGPT? Sounds off, but then so is this whole crime. With all my heart I wish for Nancy Guthrie to be found alive. With all the analysis that I have heard along with my own deductions, the ending to this will be like it began...a tragedy.

I had forgotten Judge Cannone's tone. She absolutely does not want to be here in this courtroom for this trial. Many speculations run through my head concerning a hypothetical discourse with a highly placed Commonwealth official. I am quite certain concerning the meaning of the expression, Occam's Razor. Judge Cannone is eligible for early retirement at full pension quite soon. However eligibility does not mean certainty. Hence my choice to use Occam's Razor as a possible explanation for Judge Cannone's presence at this trial.

Posted to Brian Entin (RE: Update on Nancy Guthrie Abduction) Uploaded to You Tube 02/08/2026

The amount of stress, both physical and emotional, on any kidnapped person is substantial.  The choice of the target of this kidnapping to me (I have zero expertise in this investigative field) indicates rank amateurs. Professionals would not have chosen such an infirm target requiring intense care to keep alive and healthy. IMO Nancy Guthrie was taken by those known to her and/or those close to her. That second video by the siblings, gives me the saddened feeling that Nancy Guthrie is no longer with us. While LE has been less than efficient, I think we need to wait until there has been resolution in this case before casting blame. I am somewhat concerned about the arrival and eventual statement of Kash Patel (Director of the FBI). I pray that he does not try to turn this tragedy into a photo op or political advertisement.

I am guessing that no one has been un-alived due to this situation on Roblox? If Roblox has any sane attorneys on staff or retainer, this must be screaming themselves hoarse at the CEO. It is a given that statistically this site with so many incidents, that something horrific will happen. Roblox will then be sued by very emotional parents. This corporation could probably could afford to settle with a 7-figure amount without worrying their stockholders. However, there would be massive negative publicity which no doubt could remove a substantial amount of alleged potential prey from this alleged predator paradise. Bottom line, by policing themselves this corporation would sidestep lawsuits payouts, increase their subscriber base by being parent friendly and avoid the worse apocalypse of them all...a U.S. Senate Committee hearing. Many of this grouping (aka U.S. Senate) barely know how to turn on their laptops. Giving them the opportunity to create regulatory laws would be a massive disaster for us all.

IMO our obsession with the Nancy Guthrie abduction is the anomaly of it all. Nothing lines up. Maybe it was a burglary gone wrong, but why take an elderly woman with medical issues and limited mobility? Then it was a kidnapping. But the initial ransom notes were confusing, late and mixed in with trolls seeking money. Why not send encrypted messages to Savannah Guthrie's office in NYC? Meds, watch, phone and bank cards were left in the house. For some reason (as far as I know) none of the security cameras within or around the house had subscriptions, thus no cloud storage. However a pacemaker linked to NG's phone (& possibly watch) gave a definitive timestamp of when it lost contact with NG. Now we are presented with puzzle full of contradictions, twists and turns that is grabbing the news cycle blotting out cases such as Nick Reiner, Charlie Kirk, newly released (but not all !) E. files and ICE's mad march to a dystopia.  On a fashion tangent, love the shirt and earrings, but the jeans? I do not get the trend of wearing distressed jeans. Could be my OCD, could be my age. 😉

The abduction of Nancy Guthrie is a puzzle. Whoever did this is behaving oddly almost as if they had no plan and are "winging it". I pray for Nancy Guthrie's safe return. Precious time has passed, I fear that this will end as it began, with a tragedy. Yes you can disable Roblox in your home, not allow your child to have an account. However what about every child at school, every playdate, sleepover and even camp. A parent does not have Hermione Granger's Time-Turner. The most efficient way to eliminate the danger that is preying on children using Roblox is for the company to address this problem internally. Accept help from vetted mods and security services. At that point "normal" parental supervision will work. More discussion on Roblox:

There is a line (prophetically said by an AI) from a 1983 film called War Games, "The only winning move is not to play". QUESTION: (1) Regarding strategy should BL's legal team be (secretly and allegedly) hoping that before May 2026, Judge Limon finds for JB/Wayfarer via the MSJ w/o prejudice? The plaintiff's PR/legal team could then control the narrative with a very public intent to appeal this decision, later to withdraw saying instead BL will donate what would have been spent on legal fees to _____ insert cause name. However if the next move is for this case "to play" in front of a jury with a cross by the defense, I am not certain that BL could ever return to her career as it once was. QUESTIONS: Should Judge Limon rule for the defendant in the MSJ w/prejudice, (2) is it libel if BL wrote an article (like Amber Heard did) in stating the guilt of JB and Wayfarer? and (3) Is it slander if BL gave video interviews telling that same story?

You do not have to go back far, Tim Miller directed the first (hugely successful) Deadpool movie (2016), but none of the others.

Amateur perpetrators, amateur investigators, late/confusing ransom notes, seeming knowledge of tech such as ISP, VPN, bitcoin by the senders of multiple ransom notes. Yet no ransom note left at Nancy Guthrie's home or method of communication set up in advance. There are so many contradictions. Yes I want her found alive, however I believe that this will end how it began, with a tragedy.

Ant need not apologize for this reading. Scarily, evil and unethical have become the new mundane and boring. I agree that essentially the 2 major U. S. political parties have been merging for years. However in 2015 the Republicans decided to go full cult. Unfortunately about the same time the Democrats decided to go full clueless. Ironically since 2015 while the 2 parties have become more different, they are both still ineffectual, greedy and not very smart. Clinton has been a "party animal" for many decades. It was a given the name "Clinton" would appear throughout the Epstein files. Hillary Clinton has always been the pragmatist in that family or as ant read, "the fixer". However running for president was her biggest mistake. Maybe do a reading as to why the Democratic Party ran a candidate that many analysts thought would lose due to public opinions? My speculation is perhaps being the Democratic candidate for president was her payment for jobs done?

LOL, all I could think of is that BL is not up to the skill set of that trope,  "a broken clock is right TWICE a day". For Tyler Perry, I think we need much more information. The situation of Nick Reiner regarding the tragedy of Rob and Michele Reiner, I believe says more than mental health diagnoses and treatments than simply spoiled rich boy issues. Alan Jackson's job title is literally the mandate of his profession, he is a defense attorney. Life is far more complex than movies. A charismatic intelligent attorney is not always defending the innocent. In real life they defend those who are presumed innocent until found guilty or not guilty in a court of law.

"Believe us 'bro just because...." will not work anymore. My question is how far does this cut and paste journalism go? What about the research done on U.S. politics, economics and world events? See the problem? If you can lie or are clueless about the entertainment industry then you put your credibility in question for everything you report.

Numbers seem to vary, but a quick internet search indicated that tourism in Vermont has declined since the tariffs began in full force. IMO any decline in tourism would accelerate those costs of education, homes and medical care. As a beneficiary of several expensive diagnostic pieces of tech and even more expensive treatments, I do feel privileged to be alive. Health care and home construction/mortgages are providing profits, for the CEOs, their boards and investors. Is Cost Disease hard-wired into capitalism? I would think that encouraging more tourism might be a good first step. What are the positions of local representatives on tariffs? Weren't tariffs supposed to encourage more U.S. businesses to operate and employ within the U.S. ?  So, how is that going...is what I would ask. Meanwhile a huge thank you to Morgan for all that research. Perhaps legislators serving in Montpelier and those elected to the federal level could use the critical thinking boost that this video could provide.

Posted to LittleGirlAttorney (RE: Heath deposition transcript review) Uploaded on 01/03/2026

I thoroughly believe with a trial date only months away that BL has no evidence to support the allegations made. This lawsuit was a mistake that BL and RR cannot seem to shake off (yes a TS reference😜, pls no trolls). Meanwhile I do have to admit if I were 4 months or so postpartum I might overreact a teeny tiny bit if a man showed me how to give birth. Yes, I know it's the director's vision, a producer's input, the book's description whatever it was. However, cluelessness is not, and should not be, sufficient grounds for a lawsuit. Just a huge guffaw (would have been my reaction) at the time would have been adequate😉.

Posted to LittleGirlAttorney (RE: Isabela Ferrer wishes portions of her testimony sealed) 01/05/2025

If Isabela Ferrer was a minor, she might have a case. Was she somehow been prevented from having representation before the deposition, perhaps? I have zero legal training, so let me speculate what I would rule were I the judge in this case. For either or both sides to use her statements there can be no redactions, nothing sealed. If she wishes to recant, then all her statements made during discovery possibly along testimony at a trial cannot be part of this case. All highly unlikely to happen. In regards to her concern for her future as an actor due to this chaos, that story has been written, produced and distributed. Or put more succinctly, "you reap what you sow."

Posted to LittleGirlAttorney (SONY enters the case and Isabela Ferrer redaction request) 01/06/2026

Metaphor to SONY. Experienced parents delegate babysitting duties of a rambunctious and wild 3 year old with nice hair to a 9 year old novice with good intentions. Said parents then walk away. Upon their belated return they find:  a home in chaos, finger pointing by the 9 and 3 year old each stating, "they did it" and a neighbors' law suit due to the ruin of an annual gala whose failure has now been widely featured on print news and magazines. Now no one wants to ever go to that gala again, hence the lawsuit. SONY, do better next time. I agree with LGA, if what IF said in her deposition is relevant to this case, then she needs to put on her big girl heels and move on.

Posted to NotAlwaysGolden (SONY, other companies and Isabela Ferrer request to seal) 01/07/2026

QUESTION: (I apologize for a potentially quite naive and odd query)...but can an already deposed witness in a civil action withdraw/impeach/recant their own testimony that was already made during deposition and yeet themselves out of an ongoing civil case which has not yet gone to trial?

Posted to Brian Entin (RE: Alan Jackson is no longer Nick Reiner's attorney) Uploaded 01/08/2026

Only my speculation, I have 2 theories which may have led to Alan Jackson stepping away from this case. (1) The need to sever Nick Reiner from the Reiner estate, the family members and thus treating him as a solitary, independent, indigent person by having a court appointed attorney. (2) There is also the possibility of a conflict of interest with Alan Jackson and/or his firm already being on retainer to one or more of the guests at Conan O'Brien's party. 

Posted to Andrea Burkhart (RE: Alan Jackson resigns as Nick Reiner's rep) Uploaded 01/08/2026

I am guessing to save the Reiner family from legal involvement due to any civil lawsuits, the advice was that the family sever all financial support thus allowing Nick Reiner to be eligible for a public defender. The California law regarding benefiting from your crime would withhold a bequest or a trust, but not family or friends of family paying legal fees. I am guessing that in his 32 years, while this alleged act is probably the worst, there may have been past actions by Nick Reiner that adversely affected others. Those "others" may be considering legal action, just my speculation.

Posted to The Emily Show (RE: Alan Jackson resigns as Nick Reiner's rep) Uploaded 01/09/2026

I do admire Alan Jackson's intellect, knowledge of the law and passion for the law. At least to my ears, his statement to the press seemed overly theatrical. Maybe Jackson knows that theatrics get the best focus from the press and the public? To me the appointment of a public defender, indicates an intent to sever the family and the estate from potential liability due to any past, current or future actions of Nick Reiner. I also think that this action enables the family to mourn their loss more privately.

History should celebrate her beauty, recall her accomplishments but always mention her flaws. Celebrities may be prettier, wealthier and more powerful than the rest of us that does not equate to superiority in empathy, compassion or thoughtful pronouncements.  She will always be an icon. We need only remember, beauty does not always extend to the heart or to the brain.

Posted to Attorney Larry Forman (Alan Jackson's withdrawal as Nick Reiner's attorney)  01/10/2026

While I did think Alan Jackson's statement to the press was a bit theatrical, I do think Mr. Jackson wanted to be certain that he had their attention. Interesting theory that if Nick Reiner is too out of it to confer with a private attorney then Alan Jackson had to withdraw. Possible, but if that is the situation then how is Nick Reiner going to confer with the public defender? Wouldn't a mental state that bad preclude participation in all legal matters for a specified period of time? I believe the qualification for acquiring a public defender is being indigent. Perhaps the Reiner family feels that to safe guard themselves both legally and financially then Nick Reiner must be severed from any estate/trust fund/bank account money?

Posted to NurseKim (RE: Saturday Morning Discussion of the week) Uploaded on 01/10/2026

I always appreciate the questions that Nurse Kim is not afraid to ask matched with the calm, measured, critical thinking responses from Mark Bederow. Unfortunately ICE has a thuggish, violent and highly problematic reputation. As difficult as it is, with our feelings about ICE, we have to wait until more videos/ring cameras are accessed and witnesses deposed. Rhetoric, speculation and rumors will help no one.

Posted to NatalieLawyerChick (Nick Reiner losing Alan Jackson as his defense attorney) 01/11/2026

Welcome back!  QUESTION: Is it possible that having Nick Reiner declared legally indigent and independent, thus eligible for a public defender can also keep the Reiner family free of any potential liability of any actions, past, present, future of Nick Reiner? Not having a public part in Nick Reiner's defense is likely the siblings best path to process this tragedy.Yet, I still wonder how this occurred. I grew up with reruns of All In The Family. The Princess Bride has long been one of my favorite movies. Do I deserve to know why, no. I simply want to know for my own process.

The economy, politics and health care are all well-known life altering processes.

These commentaries by Kjersti on the timeline of newly unsealed texts (which allegedly all began due to BL), are un-allegedly stellar. I was wrong about the celebrities involved in this mess coming out the worst. Who would hire PR without liability clauses, financial penalties and a very short leash regarding their posts? That is assuming of course that anyone will be hiring PR. My uninformed prediction: that due to this mess, studios, media groups and just about anyone with critical thinking ability will keep most, or all, of their PR "in-house".  Although I would definitely watch a streaming movie entitled, "PR Goes Rogue...Celebrities Duck & Cover".🤣

Posted to Kjersti Flaa (Unsealed testimony in discovery allowed to leak home addresses) 01/13/2026

I am not a lawyer, so I am uncertain about the legality of the act of not redacting home addresses. By stating this was an "error" the plaintiff's legal team did follow the letter of the law in releasing unsealed testimony. On the other hand, they quite badly mangled, allegedly, the spirit of the law with this "error".  Again not a lawyer, but as slimy as this is, it may not be sanctionable. As far as I know, during discovery the defense did not request redaction of witnesses' addresses and phone numbers. This quote is applicable, "When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time" said by Maya Angelou. Glad the MDs caught CH's condition quickly. Prognosis judging by the type of treatment given, seems good.       (BTW not a medical professional either😉).

Posted to Kenz (RE: Claire Ayoub did film Empire Waist with Wayfarer Studios) 01/13/2026

Producers/Studios are always being strict with budgets. Creatives always find it difficult to make financial cuts as it might "cut away" part of their vision. It is almost a mathematical equation involving money, power and celebrity. I do not know whether it was paranoia or a certain actor that caused Ms Ayoub to record her convo with Steve Sarowitz. At this point without an expert in spread sheets. it is impossible to make a list of where just about everyone chose the wrong road to travel   If the May 18 trial actually happens, there will not be enough dumpsters in LA to contain all the trashed careers.

Posted to LittleGirlAttorney (Released testimony gives home addresses of Baldoni/Heath) 01/13/2026

The remedy being buying the Baldoni and Heath families new homes is what I also thought would be an acceptable remedy. The plaintiff's firm should buy both homes at a profit from the current owners. Disclose the publicity due to this "error" on their part to potential buyers. Even if one or both is a rental property, someday some deranged individual could turn up to harm whomever is in residence at that address. This is wild speculation, but could the plaintiff's legal team have allegedly left the addresses in on purpose in the hope that the defense would yeet those portions of Baldoni's and Heath's testimony? Whatever the origin story is, IMO there are only 2 possibilities: (1) allegedly purposeful or (2) un-allegedly incompetent. I will be VERY disappointed if Judge Limon legally shrugs off this problem as a harmless, blameless, irrelevant error. 

Posted to LittleGirlAttorney (RE: Justin Baldoni/Jamey Heath home addresses doxxed) 01/14/2026

If anyone from JB and JH's families gets even one nasty note via snail mail, one teeny piece of graffiti on their driveway or one random threat from a 'bot or troll, the plaintiff's attorneys should be subject to prosecution for criminal behavior...allegedly. Being doxxed is obviously unpleasant and scary. However, in the world we live in doxxing is a potentially life threatening action. Using the excuse of we made an "oopsie", giggle and walk away should not be allowed. This should immediately be addressed by Judge Limon. Forget his rulings being less than impartial, this "oopsie" is an indication he has lost control of his court.

The past 8 years must have had successes along with failures for this person, so why now?  BTW To quote the late great Tina Turner, "What's Love Got to Do with It," This tragedy happened due to a loss of control, a loss of power, irrational blame and (only speculation) the courts/LE not investigating threats or providing any protection.

It is obvious that this area of the university was constructed for the ease of students along with its artistic appearance. That fact would have been easy to confirm by a quick walk thru of the location. That huge error in prep does bother me. I can only conclude that Charlie Kirk's foundation board of directors, his foundation's security, the university administration, FBI and even local LE were fine with this area in view of the current political climate? Incompetence only? Who knows. In reality, one person with limited knowledge of, and easy access to, this campus was able to proceed with their crime without being spotted and dealt with.

My favorite Andrea Burkhart quote from this video, "...this isn't a PRE-NUP dude, this is a journal...." which refers to the name "Rob" as used in Sandra Birchmore's journal. As for the WHY of this appeal, perhaps Devine believed in "promises from above" (hint, not heaven) that would reverse the decertification? Or maybe Devine feels that an appeal has to be in the system to safeguard Rob's (aka Robert Devine) law license?  It is a pleasure and entertaining to have an attorney as adept and intelligent as Andrea Burkhart analyze an appeal which with its procedural, grammatical and just plain dumb, errors could have benefited with a pass thru ChatGPT.

Who is attorney Sigrid McCawley there to convince? Due to representing the victims of Jeffrey Epstein this attorney is obviously someone with a very special skill set. My speculation is that this is the attorney/PR spokesperson who will assuage scared feelings of studio execs, comfort insurers of films, encourage film investors not to bolt from films starring certain actors, allow past PGA and WGA decisions ("the rooftop scene" which BL in an interview stated RR re-wrote the scene) to remain intact? OR, will this new attorney end up losing some of that past career luster/relevance as have other entities associated with the plaintiff in this case such as PR firms, MSM/legacy media and a venerable law firm?

Angenette is on point. No one should be staring at the defendant's expressions or lack thereof, what they are wearing or being persnickety about their hair or makeup. We should see and hear (mics people, sound check those mics) the attorneys, the judge and the witnesses. Admittedly I am always curious about the jury, but that is a well-known no-no. Except for child witnesses or SA victims, the judicial process should be open. As taxpayers we have paid for that privilege. As citizens of the U.S. we need to be watchdogs to be sure no one does an end-run around the U.S. Constitution and its amendments.

Posted to Kjersti Flaa (RE: More newly unsealed depositions in BL vs. JB/Wayfarer case) 01/19/2026

Sorry Kjersti, I really tried to understand that IF word salad cosplaying as a deposition. Regarding the "con artist" portion of Isabela Ferrer's deposition, my speculation is that the term "con-artist" was given to IF, allegedly, to use in a statement. Unfortunately while IF appears have remembered the noun, she has little concept of its proper usage or its syntax. This is analogous to when a child hears a big new important word then just blurts it out to impress the adults...allegedly without knowing meaning or context. 🤣   The plaintiff's witnesses in this case appear not to be the ideal group to corroborate any plaintiff or condemn any defendant in a court of law...or in the court of public opinion.  BTW I stand by ALL my "allegeds", these people will file a lawsuit and issue subpoenas the way the rest of us read and write emails.😉

Posted to Brian Entin (RE: Nick Reiner behaving in his cell) Uploaded to You Tube on 01/20/2026

With visual observations from unknown sources and no physiological or mental health testing made available to the public, I would say that it is 50-50 that his behavior is real or is a performance. As a long-time addict (not considering any additional diagnosis) Nick Reiner is quite capable of deception by behaving irrationally on purpose. As a possible detoxing meth-addict, he might be in a deep depression after being told what he (allegedly) did. As for Nick Reiner's current attorney now being a public defender, I still think that this is protection for the family against liability for Nick Reiner's (past, present, future) actions, the immense costs of his defense and the quite likely costs of being placed for a lifetime in a secure psychiatric facility. As Nick Reiner is now 32, statistically that placement could be for the next 40 - 50 years.

BL and RR may inadvertently exposed the dirt spread around to make a film in contradiction to what fans thought to be covered with glitz, glamour and red carpets. Sure they are just like us.

I love the addition of a 2nd commentator as the back and forth always elicits interesting points (BTW do not forget his FREE merch).

Could I have had the courage to run into that school building in Uvalde, yes if my child were inside sadly doubtful if otherwise. If the police were not up to the task of entering a building with active sh33ter(s), then availability of a fast response SWAT team should be mandatory by law as every second counts. QUESTIONS: (1)As Adrian Gonzales is now exempt from prosecution, is it unlikely that his superiors (or anyone else in a command role at that time) will now be indicted? (2)Does Texas Law allow for a civil suit to be filed? (3)Have legislators and LE in Texas made any improvements to law and emergency procedures in order to have responses be more proactive? (4)This is rhetorical, essentially a rant, but has the DA been censured for the essentially overcharging the sole defendant while not indicting his superiors, and essentially putting on a lackluster case?

Posted to NotActuallyGolden (It is hearing eve...regarding BL vs. JB/Wayfarer) Uploaded 012/22/2026

No leaks? I have 3 reasons: (1)It is easy for the plaintiff's side to not leak anything because it seems that everything recently unsealed is detrimental to the plaintiff's case. (2)The defense side would not leak docs as the defense team knew that they would be the first sanctioned should there be any leak, plus the defense team were aware that Judge Limon wanted everything (beyond personal or financial details) unsealed.  (3)That leaves the court itself. I hypothesize that Judge Limon would not consider mercy, a rap on the knuckles or even a stern talking to sufficient if he found someone in his office or anyone at 500 Pearl Street was cavalier enough to leak sealed documents. Result: zero leaks. Perhaps 50% of the explanation is due to ethics along with 50% due to fear. I would LOVE to hear how the plaintiff's team going to explain away that PGA letter. Also that "doofus" text comment does not really show malevolence emanating from JB.

Posted to Spill Sesh (RE: Brooklyn Beckham decides to separate from his family) 01/21/2026

Hard to say what is going on as every family has drama. When your last name is as recognizable as a branded product, all the drama is public. Weddings often are good in forecasting in-law behavior. For some reason when everyone should be on their best behavior, weddings can bring out the worst. It has been years, but I still remember petty things like my future MIL depositing a bridesmaid in my ceremony at the last minute without consulting me, countless seating issues and of course a dress issue (haha mainly no one liked my wedding gown). Being born into a family does not mean you have to live out  your entire adult life in their circle. My advice is to relax for now, then have an annual reunion on a non-threatening/non-family day, maybe Guy Fawkes Night?  Or even better schedule a visit to a therapist specializing in family dysfunction?

Posted to Molly McPherson (RE: Beckham Family Drama) Uploaded to You Tube on 01/21/2026

My hope is that they try to keep this private. I gather that Brooklyn's wife Nicola formerly Peltz is an heiress who has had her own problematic past. MIL's not getting along with their new DIL is almost a cliché. Like it or not, if your last name is Beckham yes you are the member of a family, but you also are a brand. Perhaps Brooklyn taking a break away from the brand (aka the family) for let's say a year might give everyone a chance to recalculate and proceed slowly. Any media, social or legacy is a hungry beast who must be approached with care if one is to survive. Hopefully the next news cycle will find some shiny new thing that everyone can obsess over rather than one very famous family's drama.

TS is smart enough to salvage her brand. Watch for lots of wedding talk, "good deeds" and maybe even a new song. There will probably be a brief hiatus from her problematic friend. As for BL, her future is far less clear. I am not sure of the status of her friendship with director Paul Feig, however if he finds her even one good role, even in cameo format, BL may be able to come back from this...assuming she cuts those strings, legally of course.😉  QUESTION: Can a reading be done on Wayfarer Studio as one entity and perhaps also Justin Baldoni?

For those unable to swallow pills easily,  my mother did this for me: buy pureed baby food (any fruit like apple or peach with a sweet taste). Mash up the pill (or empty the capsule) into about one tablespoon of the pureed food. Swallow contents of spoon. Have room temp water along with a few pill free tablespoons ready as a "chaser" to absorb that bitter medicine taste. Obviously check with the medical staff first, but this worked for my mother when dosing the very cranky, very young version of me after a tonsillectomy. BTW, I also like to make amusing comments to medical staff. I have made several anesthesiologists giggle, two surgeons laugh, but got zip from a cardiologist. (obviously not all seen in one day😉). The cardiologist was monitoring my stress test. Their idea was to put me, who has zero sense of balance, never been on a treadmill, onto a treadmill that was cranked up to high speed. I kept falling off. I began to giggle uncontrollably. Well no one else in the room was laughing. I apologized trying to explain my unfamiliarity with a treadmill. Still crickets. It is ironic that probably the individuals in that room experiencing the most stress was that MD and the nurse-practitioner. Luckily due to other testing, my heart was found to be sound, effective and healthy. I still wonder what the MD's notes in my file said about my "issues". 🤣

The very favorable plea deal given to Juliana Peres Magalhães is problematic as to me Replay crew here. I could have watched another hour or more. This was so interesting. These attorneys are amazing, they even researched Runkle! I could tell how pleased these attorneys were that Runkle was able to change his opinion due to the facts as presented by the defense. Before this trial, I too believed Adrian Gonzales had no will or strength to be LE, made grievous errors and likely made a bad situation worse. As the trial began, I was beginning to have doubts. I definitely felt that Adrian Gonzales was overcharged (indicted for 29 counts of child endangerment and abandoment). When the defense did their cross, I began to wonder why was Gonzales the only one sitting at that table.  By the end of the case, I was still angry that so many lives could be taken so quickly, so easily. However, I was no longer angry at Mr. Gonzales. I should know better than believe MSM/legacy media. I am not sure who the villain is that allowed a school could be so unprotected and LE so under-trained, I am guessing the villains are incompetence and budgets. These villains can only be defeated when humans recognize them. does not come across as 100% believable. That factor plus the reassignment/removal of the OG investigators does concern me. The prosecution wanted the jury to think that this was not unusual. I wonder if that is accurate? Brendan Banfield is innocent until proven guilty, yet I have...thoughts.

Replay crew here. I could have watched another hour or more. These attorneys are amazing, they even researched Runkle! I could tell how pleased they were that Runkle was able to change his opinion due to this trial.  I also had believed that Adrian Gonzales had neither the will or strength to be LE. As the trial began, I felt that Adrian Gonzales was overcharged (indicted for 29 counts of child endangerment and abandonment). When the defense did their cross, I began to wonder why was Gonzales the only one sitting at that table.  By the end of the case,  I was no longer angry at Mr. Gonzales. Beyond that creature that walked into the school that day, the villains are incompetence, insufficient training and budgets balanced at any cost. The co-conspirators who should be on trial are the humans who saw these deficiencies, but did nothing. They are quite unlike Adrian Gonzales who was willing to put his life on the line on that horrible day.

These people (aka celebrities) are way too comfortable participating in this process. Almost as if their behavior was the norm in the entertainment business, allegedly? An interesting thought experiment, when you hear of long time directors/writers/producers who have a history in bringing their film projects from birth to maturity (aka out of development to ready to be filmed) then they are suddenly replaced. Be fascinating to check on the actual reasons for the director or others leaving their long term projects. I am not excusing anyone in this particular situation. The only difference in this situation was that the usurpers vastly underestimated their targets, allegedly.

While Amber Heard deserves an opportunity to make an income, maybe choosing a doc discussing the subject of contemporary women and their abu3e claims was not quite the way to get back into the entertainment business. As for Travis Kelsey, looking at news through the lens of PR (which is allegedly the ONE profession to rule them ALL) is highly entertaining. We know the game. These legacy news articles are boring, unbelievable and irrelevant. In the terms of something in America called "football", get a new playbook guys. Everyone knows the old one, word for word.

Replay crew here. What have we learned from this tragedy...to keep this case in the news. However also that being an addict is both due to substances and personalities. It is a complex condition. Many of our tragedies are caused by those who "fell through the cracks" or who were ineffectively treated. Many of those afflicted do end up more as victims of crimes than perpetrators. Even if the dangerously mentally ill are a small percentage of the entire population, that small percentage has resulted in countless recent tragedies. This is on wiki (so check sources). This article paints a very sad picture of mental health in the U.S. :  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mental_Health_Systems_Act_of_1980    Perhaps someday mental health will be more seriously and effectively addressed (as in neither sending those afflicted to a spa or to a boot camp). A mental health federal law called the Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner Act would be a tremendous legacy to honor their lives.

Not excusing anyone in this case, but at 15 I said cruel things to those close to me that I now deeply regret. Nick Reiner's level of rage even for a 15-year old male seems excessive. I wonder in all the years of therapy, prescription meds and rehab if that excessive anger was ever addressed? I speculate that it must have been tamped down, emerging for whatever reason in full fury on the two people who had tried for so long to protect him. I read this in a comment early on when this tragedy had recently been reported, love alone will not cure mental or physical illness.

Great analysis! BL wrote in her plea and spoke in her deposition to the court that she felt powerless and intimidated. Yet once unsealed, that PGA letter read as a declaration of omnipotence...allegedly. I chortled when I read that she indicated that she alone was responsible for HR. I agree with AshleyB that any one person attempting to be both the director and lead actor in a film about DV has taken on a massive challenge. A director has the difficult job of telling everyone what to do. Only a very small group of talented people can leap back and forth competently between roles lead actor and director. How will IEWU end legally? My guess is 24-48 hours before the trial officially begins (May 18, 2026) reams of NDAs will be signed and a very expensive lesson in the nature and ethics of power will hopefully have been learned.

That I have learned over the last 12 months what the acronym SEO stands for (Search Engine Optimization) and what it means (makes the data/news that is wanted to be seen 1st appear on page one of searches) is an indicator of how far the spread of knowledge has been regarding how legacy media works. THANK YOU to Kjersti and so many on YT. Those interested in news, data and critical thinkers now have sources willing to do the boring work of reading and the danger (subpoena fishing expeditions) of commenting publicly. Those texts by Leslie Sloan supports what most of us speculated, in that there is an unhealthy relationship between PR and MSM/legacy media.  That power dynamic diminishes the relevance of both entities.  I hear that actual sharks, can be trained with positive reinforcement. Wonder about metaphorical sharks?🤣

Posted to Brian Entin (RE: Could Tepe murders have been prevented?) Uploaded to YT 01/29/2026

THANK YOU, Brian Entin for this very clear discussion on stalking as seen through a legal lens. I agree with the attorney Kimberly DeGonia. It is our reality that it is up to the victim of stalking (along with their friends and family) to provide the evidence. A journal has to be kept (both paper & tech formats) along with images (with their metadata) from security cameras (multiples are necessary, so yes expensive).  A copy should be kept in personal possession with a copy going to an attorney. Yes, this does mean that more money has to be spent, in this case for a retainer unless a kind attorney might go pro bono in view of the situation.  LE should be requested to create a file with periodic updates/images kept in that file. Yes there are some people who lie and file protective orders to punish an ex-partner, get full custody of children or even a better financial settlement. Hence the journal, family, friends to provide inculpatory evidence as proof that protection is essential and warranted.  ONLY MY SPECULATION:  I wonder is stalking an addiction, like illegal substances, gambling or even hoarding? Not to go easy on the perp, but maybe that is why legal orders (necessary for LE involvement, but still potentially dangerous) usually doesn't end the obsession?

I have been following Karen Read's cases since pre-trial (trial#1). The O'Keefe Family civil case was filed in August 2024 approximately one month after trial #1 ended in a mistrial. This is a complex case. To oversimplify, LE (Canton PD), Massachusetts State Troopers (the state police who did most of the investigative work) and the DA's office (Norfolk County of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts) all did a bad job, a very very bad job on the investigation and prosecution of Karen Read. Because of that group's ineptitude and amorality, it is doubtful that the actual events of 01-29-2022 on 34 Fairview Road in Canton, Massachusetts will ever be known. I know, not the law's problem, however still the law, at least for a few years, failed Karen Read and still fails Officer John O'Keefe. QUESTION: I am assuming KR's insurers are still "in the game". If they decide to settle with the O'Keefe Family, does that affect any other litigation in this case, even slightly?

I am not sure how to process that info. BTW, I agree with the advice to enjoy crafting by destroying unwanted trinkets and things. My project was to make a medieval cape closure. I used some broken jewelry findings, earrings that I will never use, leftover shimmery black nail polish, 3 old tiny lizard brooches w/o closures, glue and some long clips.

Kind of an inadvertent spot on resemblance to the highly poisonous type.  Not quite the look that I was going for, but maybe no one will notice 😒.

Posted to Dr. Patrice Berry, Psychologist Reacts (RE: Convo with Josh of Courtroom Conf.) 01/31/2026

Very informative discussion. I like the way Dr. Berry and Joshua Ritter seem to initiate ideas in the other. I agree we are sending the wrong message through LE, DA's office and others who are giving the victim the feeling that they should be quiet, handle it internally and do not further enrage the stalker. As unfair as it seems the victim must keep records of emails, texts, videos regarding the stalker. Be comfortable with the fact that friends, relatives, neighbors, co-workers may be asked to corroborate the victim's reports. Sadly there are a few people who punish ex's with false reports. As Dr. Berry brought up,  McKee's aberrant behavior did not start on the day he married Monique or on the day the divorce was final. This behavior had to begin much earlier. Was aggressiveness noted by those around him and dismissed? BTW Mention of this man's face becoming so wide in less than 8 years. Not sure why he would do this, but could McKee have been on anabolic-androgenic steroids? Such steriods in someone like McKee is a scary thought.

There are the alliances, the royalty, the upstarts, the liars, the collaborators and the power plays. Only differences might be in Hollywood, the lifeblood is money and the redrum is of one's character and career, not body. It is amazing that all those movie premieres don't resemble a slightly lesser version of GoT's famous "Red Wedding" episode. Hmmm is that why the carpets are red?😉

Who is captaining this descent into delulu?  Allegedly the plaintiff's legal team is top of the line, successful, well-respected (or at least well-known). Is this firm, allegedly, saying yes to every wish of their client? Is that ethical?  IMO every submission, plea, filing, letter by the plaintiff's legal team is allegedly being done to drag this process out as long as possible. As a result the defendants' legal team becomes mired in paperwork, as is a probably very unhappy judge. Meanwhile the defendant is emptying their bank account. My multiple usage of "allegedly" is deliberate as this plaintiff will (allegedly😉) file a civil suit/send a subpoena to absolutely anyone.

Andy Signore of Popcorn Planet (YT) has been subpoenaed by BL's legal team for his financial records, texts and emails. A Florida court has recently denied Mr. Signore the title of journalist along with that profession's accompanying protection of sources and work product. I am sure that Mr. Signore intends to appeal. However doesn't this ruling potentially put any news/legal commentator on YT, or any social media platform, at high risk legally and financially?

Especially noteworthy, as previous to the civil law suit, most of her smiles were relegated to only the area around her lower face. This trial (now delayed ?) is a potential mass career un-aliver. PR-wise without giving away too many ideas gratis, it would be interesting to hear examples (without mentioning names) of how these different people with differing occupations (such as one of the secondary actors, a producer, a screenwriter, a novelist and even a novice director) could return to the entertainment industry successfully even with IEWU on their resume.

MSM seems to have cornered the court version of FAST PASS in line cutting, seat filling, plus entitlement, none of which IMO appears to have improved their coverage and/or legal comprehension. That disclaimer by the judge (@1:26) intrigues me. QUESTION: Is such a disclaimer insertion normal for this (or any) judge or perhaps has this judge become more aware of us (aka the public)?

I think that Paul Feig still "likes" BL. However I am guessing liability insurance on Mr. Feig's films with BL on the set might be a bit higher than in the past. BL's best bet for continuing her film career would probably be via RR's finding and funding properties for her...without trying to start a coup. JB is in a tougher position with the entertainment industry as I am not sure Wayfarer could find another large distributor like SONY. Whatever happens if this goes to court, everyone and anyone with IEWU on their resume, even if they only provided lunch, is going to find future jobs in the entertainment industry difficult.

Thanks to BL and RR, who believes these MSM/legacy media article's comments these days?  I did not vote, but I had never heard of the alleged 'bot attack on TS. I had read how her fans were a bit put out by the multiple editions/special features that had to be purchased regarding the latest TS album. I know when entertainment industries merge or buy others that very often the old slate of ventures get "put on hold". However, the liabilities (both insurance-wise and fan-wise) in having a RR property may be a bridge too far for the financiers. If those "thin" images were not filtered/photoshopped then wow, these people have problems. BTW, weight loss drugs like the one mentioned need to be carefully studied by an MD and explained to the patient. That type of weight loss is highly effective, quick and obviously without the dangers of surgery. HOWEVER, please note you must start a weight-bearing exercise routine.

If Popcorn Planet loses all possible appeals, what does that mean for YT or for that matter any social media platform? It is actually in YT's best interests (aka their finances) to support its channels. Journalism is reporting news, whether financial, entertainment or legal.

Going to court is, as ironically a reporter for a MSM/legacy media outlet has said, "...mutually assured destruction." Whatever the verdict is, essentially everyone involved loses their reputations, puts future deals/employment at risk and the public's trust. Even those behind the camera on IEWU with this on their resume may have issues finding their next job.

Thank you to Kjersti and Magnus for talking us through this horrific news. It is all so so sad and extremely shocking, thus hard to parse. Admittedly this is hindsight, but looking at the group photo of the family at the Spinal Tap sequel premiere in September, Nick looks extremely troubled and ill at ease. Usually when a tragedy like this happens we rail against the health care system's lack of support for covering mental health. However in this case, the failure wasn't due to lack of finances. That Nick Reiner was in/out of rehab so many times is an indicator that the traditional treatment for addiction failed him, even before this tragedy. Drug addiction is a chronic condition. Maintenance (therapy) is necessary no matter how "clean" one is.  My prayers and love go out to The Reiner family and friends.

The timing of this video was helpful to me. There was a recent public tragedy due to a relapsed addict that affected me more deeply than one would think as it was essentially one stranger feeling the loss of another stranger. I became depressed. Then I came across this video. Without going into identifying details, the relapsed addict had been in and out of rehab frequently. It never worked for very long. Guessing a proper psych diagnosis was never made. It is all so sad. However I would like to hear how you going back into rehab helped you to rejoin life. I can see how SA at 19 and losing SO at 29 were tipping points. More importantly how did this recent period in rehab help? Was the program the same as the earlier time? How can rehab be successful? Can rehab "wear off"? Is a lifetime of self-awareness, vigilance, absolute avoidance of any (unprescribed) drug and alcohol plus having routine therapy the only way to possess that "golden ticket" to lifetime sobriety? Does the crochet center you, make you more calm (asking for ME)!

Posted to Kjersti Flaa (RE: Source who knows BL and RR) Uploaded to You Tube 0n 12/15/2025

Everything that source mentioned sounded accurate. Hollywood is not the epicenter of compassion, empathy and humanity. It is a one industry town. That is why the more successful you are in the entertainment business, the more vital it is that you surround yourself with people who are ethical/smart  enough to say "NO, that is NOT a good idea."  There is a 2008 song by the group Coldplay called Viva La Vida. If that group's name sounds familiar you remember (1) their hits [so you are OLD like me] (2) that Chris Martin is Gwyneth Paltrow's ex [you are not quite as OLD as me] or (3) that cheating incident involving 2 clueless Astronomy execs at a Coldplay concert in Foxboro, Massachusetts (you are AGELESS😏). In the 3rd stanza of their song "Viva La Vida" is a phrase: 🎶 For some reason I can't explain 🎶 Once you'd gone, there never, never an honest word 🎶 And that was when I ruled the world...."  This song illustrates the rise and the fall of a person who never understood reality of power until it was far too late. Sad, but still a catchy song😉

I wonder if (I am NOT a clinician) that means there may have been something else going on which kept him landing back into Rehab? His defiance, past homelessness and disrespect also seem to indicate that it was not only the addiction. Even at the age of 32, Nick Reiner seemed locked into a young teen's obstinance. We will never know if the doctors failed to correctly diagnose the 15 year old version of Nick Reiner or if his parents refused to consider that mental illness might be adding to the behavioral problems. I know hindsight is 20/20 but there is an image (taken 09/12/2025) with Nick Reiner and the rest of his family at the premiere of Spinal Tap 2. Look at the faces/body language of the rest of the family, then look at Nick Reiner. In Nick Reiner I see stiffness, detachment, discomfort and dislike of the situation. Apologies if behind a pay wall-->     https://share.google/X6oAOFNUJLk92QC0Q       Prayers and condolences to The Reiner Family and their friends.

Thank you for the interview with the retired FBI agent. She clarified many points that I had questions about. When she was asked how she handles this type of incident, it was chilling to hear her say how she has seen so much damage that humanity is capable of, that she was not shocked or surprised. We often do not think about what the first responders have to deal with. We think about the victim in the abstract, without the visuals. These first responders are very very special people. I hope that they receive help to be able to move on without burnout.

Posted to Kjersti Flaa (RE: Updates on Reiner tragedy) Uploaded to YT on 12/17/2025

THANK YOU to Kjersti and Magnus for this commentary. The logic, critical thinking and compassion shown does calm me.  As horrific as this sounds, the way the Reiners were un-alived, with the fury and the lack of thought, reminds me of a tantrum from a small child who cannot recognize boundaries, consequences, and the world in general. While not a trained expert I was in a job which gave me a view into children with emotional difficulties. I am not excusing the behavior, only IMO that Nick Reiner never grew up emotionally. It was very apparent in interviews that I saw. A comment (not sure it was a subscriber to this account of not) mentioned, "You cannot cure a physical disease or mental illness with only your love, you need help." Probably hiring an attorney like Alan Jackson, is to be sure that Nick Reiner ends up in a secure facility that will help, not simply house him. Not that it matters, but my guess is friends of Rob and Michele Reiner are paying the legal fees. 

Posted to Courtroom Confidential (Zack Peter and Neama Rahmani on Reiner tragedy) 12/17/2025

Innocent until proven guilty is understood. However as of this comment, there appears to be only one assailant in custody to be arraigned for this crime. The prosecution will probably ask for lifetime incarceration w/o parole. Whoever hired Alan Jackson do not wish to see Nick Reiner "free" as he could never cope. Such individuals would want to see Nick Reiner end up in a place (I am NOT talking about a Club Fed-type) that is not only highly secure but one that will take care of him in a way that his parents would have wanted for their son. I hope this tragedy leads to treatment changes for young addicts with underlying mental health issues. I saw this comment on another YT channel regarding this tragedy, "You cannot cure a physical disease or mental illness with only your love, you need help."

Posted to Brian Entin (RE: Nick Reiner) Uploaded to You Tube on 12/17/2025

A small point about covering the windows, very often people on the autism spectrum have a hypersensitivity to light and noise. I have no idea of Nick Reiner's mental health, however after watching some interviews that he did with his father, (am not a clinician) substance addiction was only the surface problem.  Assuming no one else is arrested for this crime, Nick Reiner should face the full consequences for his actions. However, I believe that an attorney as well-known and capable as Alan Jackson is there to be certain the Nick Reiner will be sentenced not only to a secure facility, but one that would provide life-long care for Nick Reiner. At 32 years of age he is unlikely to change thus cannot live in an open society. I hope that the Reiner children, Tracy, Jake and Romy are all being cared for as they are the living victims in this tragedy.

Posted to The Behavior Panel (RE: Nick Reiner---analysis part 1 of 2) Uploaded 12/18/2025

Thank you for this video (and potentially for a part 2). Rob Reiner and his films filled my childhood. My deep, visceral sorrow for someone that I had never met is probably outlined somewhere in the DSM-5-TR😉. Early in the video when Rob Reiner said the most important thing a parent can do is keep their child safe, my heart sank. Obviously you keep an infant from swallowing objects. You prevent the toddler from running into the street, but after that age, the most important job is growing an independent, compassionate, critical thinking human. I am NOT blaming the victims. Being somewhat awkward in social situations myself (eye contact is difficult, my posture/demeanor is stiff), I did recognize those signs in Nick Reiner in the "Being Charlie" interview. I hope that this tragedy can lead to better diagnostic protocols for teens in addiction along with more effective treatments than the standard 28 days in a rehab facility. Hopes and prayers to the Reiner family and friends. I hope that the 3 adult children, Tracy, Jake and Romy are with those that they trust.

Posted to Kjersti Flaa (RE: Latest News) Uploaded to You Tube on 12/18/2025

I am shocked. NYT and I agree regarding Brandon Sklenar's performance in 2025 film, The Housemaid. I agree that it is never acceptable to threaten or to dox anyone, regarding the Astronomy execs at the Coldplay concert. RR and Maximum Effort "punching done" is just another day for them. Should MSM be correct about Nick Reiner's mental health history, it would confirm what I have seen simply looking at still photos and watching several interviews. This was, and obviously is, a very troubled man. That his meds were changed and he was released within only a few weeks of the change is IMO malpractice. Nick Reiner has obviously has been misdiagnosed and improperly medicated since the age of 15, perhaps longer. Nick Reiner's parents most likely did fear him, but they also loved him. In their memory, in their honor and for the safety of society, Nick Reiner needs a secure, appropriate and permanent living environment. I am guessing that is why a well-known, skilled attorney like Alan Jackson has been retained. I would like to see treatment of all teens with mental health issues and addictions re-evaluated. As we can see in our daily news alerts, whatever is being done in diagnoses and  treatments, it is NOT working.

Posted to antphrodite (RE: Nick Reiner) Uploaded to You Tube on 12/19/2025

What antphrodite said about a long ago trauma that may have resurfaced reminded me of what I heard (possibly rumor) that Nick had intensely disliked rehab (first stint was at 15) to the point that he thought it was a cult. In memory of Rob and Michele Reiner and in honor of their lifelong struggle to help their son, I hope that the court allows defense attorney Alan Jackson to assist in recommendations for a lifelong, secure and appropriate environment for Nick Reiner. My thoughts and prayers are with the Reiner family and friends. However, especially for the adult Reiner children, Tracy, Jake and Romy. Very special care is needed for those 3 at this time.

Posted to Courtroom Confidential (RE: This week) Uploaded to You Tube on 12/19/2025

I would guess that the HIPAA rights of Nick Reiner will be surrendered during discovery or in the process of a plea deal negotiation. IMO Alan Jackson has been hired not to allow Nick Reiner to live among us freely, but to ensure that Nick Reiner is placed in a secure, safe, appropriate facility for the remainder of Reiner's life. As for Brian Walshe, I am going to say it is was almost M1, I know not legal. The video of him calmly buying things like scented candles and orange buckets in several stores was chilling. His audio interviews with the police did not sound overly stressed. He did not try to change the jury's opinions by testifying. He left them with a careful, methodical and lying persona. As trier of the facts, jury's verdict was correct. The judge was top notch (are we sure this was the Commonwealth😉). May Brian Walshe never leave the cage of his forever home or ever have contact with his 3 children until they are adults.

Posted to Gavin Fish (RE: Nick Reiner and the tragedy of Rob and Michele Reiner) 12/19/2025

MSM/legacy media (like TMZ) does not have a stellar rep for accuracy. However if Nick Reiner's meds were changed, there is a minimum of 6 - 8 week period (longer if financially possible) that should pass before an "at risk" patient is discharged as the drugs' efficacy or side effects require time for observation. I am not a clinician, but had experience with the field of mental health. Nick Reiner in interviews in his mid-20's shows evidence of being "on the spectrum" (stiff body language, minimal eye contact, inability to stay on topic) which would affect both illegal and prescribed drug effects. Beginning at age 15, he was in and out of rehab frequently. He found rehab to be an ineffective, scary experience while comparing it to a cult. His parents loved, yet feared him. Mental health professionals failed him. Lifetime confinement for Nick Reiner is a given. I hope that it is to a place suitable to honor the memory and lifetime devotion of Rob and Michele Reiner.

One of the comments to this video on that water bottle was from a biomedical scientist who gives a good scientific take. My fav product was the Chomp Saw. I guess that I am also an adult child. I think that the video image of the little girl with the long hair was to show that the mechanism did not grab the hair to wind around the mechanism causing, well you can imagine.

Posted to The Behavior Panel (RE: Nick Reiner body language Part 2) Uploaded to YT on 12/20/2025

Many are looking at Nick Reiner thru the lens of mental illness, which while not wrong, is not the mission statement of this channel. I appreciate an analysis of only the body language of someone who seems to have difficulty deciphering society and understanding its inhabitants.  What stands out to me in the video interviews, is Nick Reiner's rigid/stiffness of his body. his difficulty maintaining eye contact and in staying on topic. His first (of many) session in rehab was at 15 years of age. I speculate that to Nick Reiner, rehab was even more painful, threatening and scary to him than to most people. In a 2015 print interview, Nick Reiner referred to rehab as a cult. That sounds like anger. Condolences and prayers go out to the family and friends of Rob and Michele Reiner, My hope is that the 3 adult children, Stacy, Jake and Romy are being cared for and counseled.

I am sure parsing legalities, filings, pleas and decisions was not on Kjersti Flaa's bingo card for her future even after that GG mess.  I can believe that Hollywood/entertainment industry is icing out BL and RR.

Anonymity gives the fringe (of any belief system or any level of discourse) the freedom to be clueless, clumsy and cruel. I would like to think that the internet only magnifies what has been with us, whether we admit it or not, for generations. There is the internet syndrome of "pile-on" whether done by 'bots or humans, famous or infamous. This can become very scary very quickly. It is hard to lower the volume of the chaos. I have no answers. I THANK LGA, and more YT channels than I can fit into this already overlong comment, for such insightful commentary, opinions and hopefully making me a better critical thinker. I did enjoy the LGA snark of being in the room with royalty, yet not furthering their causes or opinions. On point analogies, made by someone whose voice should always be heard because we NEED voices like LGA's to shout over that chaos.

Posted to Dr. Josef (TMZ video on Nick Reiner's legal case being not guilt by insanity) 12/21/2025

I recognize that the TMZ video might be accurate, but not all their stories undergo due diligence before being posted. Nick Reiner began his multiple stays in rehab at age 15. In a print interview for the 2015  movie "Being Charlie", Nick Reiner compared rehab to a cult. In a video interview for that same movie, Nick Reiner had difficulty in making eye contact, very stiff body language, spoke almost like a child and had trouble staying on topic. Those are symptoms of someone on the spectrum. I have had experience with high functioning autism. However, I am not a clinician. I speculate that rehab scared and scarred Nick Reiner as a young teen, thus inflicting emotional damage. Now add in years of illegal drug use, incorrect diagnoses and prescribed drugs potentially all inflicting damage to a developing brain (the brain is usually fully matured by age 25). This is NOT an excuse for what happened just an explanation. Nick Reiner must be placed in a secure, safe and appropriate facility quite likely for decades. I do hope that the 3 adult children (Stacy, Jake and Romy) of Rob and Michele Reiner are in a safe and caring environment. Their loss is beyond comprehension.

Posted to Gavin Fish (RE: Nick Reiner in additional interviews) Uploaded to YT on 12/22/2025

I did appreciate the analysis of MSM/legacy media outlet, The Wrap. They tried. However towards the end of the article The Wrap started to lean to the dark side (aka misstatements & incorrect data), so who knows? Nick Reiner must be placed in a secure, safe and appropriate facility for the remainder of his life. IMO that is why Alan Jackson has been hired. He is not there to free Nick Reiner to live among us, but to be certain that Nick Reiner's location for the next 4 or 5 decades aligns more with the wishes of Rob and Michele Reiner as disconcerting as that may sound to most of us. Perhaps the wills of Rob and Michele Reiner outline their wishes more concretely and specifically? According to AI, a probated will in California is available to the public. Of course, that may depend on how the will was written and filed. I do hope that the 3 adult children (Stacy, Jake and Romy) of Rob and Michele Reiner are in a safe and caring environment. Their pain is beyond comprehension.

Wow perhaps they finally hired a human proofreader instead of going the AI route. I find it hilarious that BL and RR through this ridiculous mess of a lawsuit, may make future film sets safer, more rational and less combative if the WGA and DGA do as Kjersti has wisely suggested, to make changes in their bylaws. Karma is usually not predictable. In this case, at this time, it is highly plausible we can pinpoint when it hits (hint: sometime on or before May 18, 2026 @9am).

Even the MSM/legacy media kept the story active. Yet this tragedy happened with the remains only discovered by chance. Our minds work to make sense of the chaos. Where my mind went, was that Melodee was 9 1/2 years of age when her future was taken from her several months ago. Why did this happen to Melodee at this time in her life? Maybe some clues can be located in the time period of about 2 years ago? Isn't that when images of her ceased? Condolences to family and friends of little Melodee, treat yourselves with kindness and patience. Please try to avoid the torture of the what-ifs.

Posted to Dr. Todd Grande (RE: Will Schizophrenia have a role in Nick Reiner's trial) 12/24/205

Thank you to Dr. Grande for outlining the importance that a diagnosis of schizophrenia would have on this case. MSM/legacy media can be less than thorough in verifying information acquired from "unnamed sources". As such we do not know exactly when, or even if, the schizophrenia diagnosis was made. We do not even know for certain if a loud argument at that party precipitated the Reiners departure. When  HIPAA is relinquished before or at trial, supported data will be public (unless sealed by the court). One fact that can now be easily verified is that Nick Reiner was first put into rehab at age 15, with many times to follow in his teens. That information has made it into public video and printed interviews with Rob and Nick Reiner. When police located Nick Reiner, he was found in an area where acquiring certain substances without a script is not unheard of. Nick Reiner did what he has done in the past which was an attempt to self-medicate.  Unless an individual is a minor child or assigned/committed to a secure facility or bound to a conservatorship, no one can legally force that person to stay on their meds. With that being the current state of the law, and for the safety of society, Nick Reiner must spend either all or most of his remaining years in a safe, secure and (hopefully) appropriate facility.

We have seen how close the relationship is between PR and MSM/legacy media.

The catch/moral is that nothing actually changes, only the wearer's impressions. IMO this group (BL, RR, PR, legal team) have traded those rose-colored glasses in for blinders while taking up residence in their own claustrophobic echo chamber. Every vanity article published in MSM/legacy media plus every plea for sanctions against the defendant's legal team is further undermining the plaintiff's case and reputations of many.  In 2025, literally every step, word, action or PR-generated article about BL and RR seems to have gone wrong. RR could not even donate to a children's hospital or produce a movie about a well-loved comedian without getting hit with negative comments. BL bakes bunny cookies (or was it a cake?) which resulted in derision not delight. IEWU the movie, the title and the experience is like a speeding train without brakes.

Glass Onion was more of a theatrical romp than a deep mystery to me, but was still highly entertaining.

As for opinions on other celebrity interviews (in no particular order of naughty or niceness, looks or power): Mel Gibson, Tom Hanks, all the Chris people: Evans, Hemsworth, Pratt, Pine, Daniel Craig, Jason Momoa, Jack Black, Henry Cavill, Paul Feig and James Cameron.

(3a) What if the plaintiffs take the same issue to a different jurisdiction, could they file there?

Posted to Brian Entin (RE: former FBI Maureen O’Connell on Nick Reiner) Uploaded 12/28/2025

Thank you to Brian Entin for this discussion. Impartiality in this case is difficult, at least for me. As of this comment, police and the DA appear to feel that Nick Reiner was the sole perpetrator who had motive and opportunity. Proving intent will be the job of the DA with the judge keeping all parties within the scope of the law. When HIPAA is surrendered by Nick Reiner, there will be much more information available. If Alan Jackson is as intelligent as his reputation during the 2 Karen Read trials indicated, he will allow information be made available to the public, only requesting that data on third/non-parties be kept sealed. Attorney Jackson is likely well-aware that for his defense to move forward, public support is needed. As much as we all want to know WHY, we will have to wait at least until the arraignment in January 2026, perhaps longer. Mr. Jackson said it properly, let the system do its work. Pure speculation, but I believe Mr. Jackson has been retained to help ensure that Nick Reiner lives the remainder of his lifetime in an appropriate and secure facility

Posted to Gavin Fish (RE: All further information about Nick Reiner is being sealed) 12/30/2025

My comment is speculation, as HIPAA is intact and there is so much hearsay in the press. IMO Nick Reiner has had multiple diagnoses over the decades.This could have lead to him being treated "by committee". Committee decisions of a medical nature are often compromises with the inherent danger of over or under medication. Nick Reiner has had decades of people saying "No" and being put back into rehab without his consent, even time homeless. Yet, something (perhaps drug-related) late that night or early that morning drove him into an uncontrollable frenzy. That is an explanation, not an excuse. I can understand the family's wish for privacy and time to grieve. However this tragedy strikes many of us on so many levels. Absolute silence on this matter is unlikely to happen. Gavin Fish, it is not solely your reporter's instinct to discover the truth, it is our collective need to process this unimaginable event.

Posted to The Tilted Lawyer (Likely not guilty by reason of insanity defense for N.Reiner) 12/30/2025

While innocent until proven guilty, it does appear that the police and the DA feel that they have the sole perpetrator in this case. IMO Alan Jackson is there to try to ensure that Nick Reiner spends the remainder of his life in a safe, secure and appropriate facility. I do wonder at the timing of this tragedy. Even if there was an argument at the Conan O'Brien party, thus far all we have from MSM/legacy media are unnamed sources with varying details. Since Nick Reiner's early teens, he has been prone to violent outbursts. So why this horror now?  Medical records would give a much more clear picture of the now 32 year old Nick Reiner. Perhaps the last wishes of Rob and Michele Reiner regarding Nick are in their wills? This tragedy is all so hard to comprehend.  I hope that the 3 surviving siblings, Stacy, Jake and Romy are being cared for by those that they trust and love.
