448: Christa Pike, Gypsy Rose, Cornell 7 & Reddington’s New Statements

Hey true crime besties, welcome back to an all new episode of Serialistly. Hello, hello, hello, and welcome back to an all new episode of Serialistly with me, your host, Annie Elise. It is Thursday. I hope you're having a great week so far. Because it's Thursday, it means it is headline highlights. And let me just say this, we have, I say this every time and it's getting so old, we have so much to talk about. I don't know like what's going on in the world and if everybody just like took a hit of acid or something. But last week, I feel like it was nonstop. Every day, I was like, I don't know what's going on in the world. I don't know something new was happening. There was some crazy update and I just couldn't keep up. And so here to break it all down with me is none other than Rapunzel herself, Amy Colette. I was half thinking you might greet me in Korean. I wish I could, but I did. Did you learn anything? I don't want to say that very condescendingly. I know. I did learn a couple of things, but I don't even want to attempt to say repeat them because my Korean listeners will be like, you're butchering that right now. So. The answer is no. Okay. But. Welcome back. Thank you. I was in Korea all last week, which also that is why as everything was happening, I'm like, of course, the one week I decide to go off like the radar and like go silent and be in a different time zone. Everybody goes fucking crazy. No, we have a running joke here that when Annie goes on vacation, two things happen. Number one, true crime goes wild. Yes. And number two, she usually wants to start a new show. Or has some crazy project. So we saw the story where she was like, don't worry, guys, when I'm back, I'm going to cover all of this. And we all thought, great, we need to brace ourselves. And here we are. And here we are. And I haven't even told the team yet. Jess is right now behind the camera. Amy's here. What? I did have a new idea for a business last week. So look at the look at that enthusiasm. Can't wait. So stay tuned. Okay. But hello. Hello. Hello. It is so nice to be back. But there is what look at this. I just got signed out of my stupid email account. How the hell did that happen? There is so much. I know. Like, I don't know what's going on with people and why people are so crazy and why they feel the need to just like go ham. But when I know you're going to talk about one of your faves in a minute. Don't don't even say it. Don't even utter her name. But yes, I am going to be talking about her. Let me get locked locked worked. God. Okay. But let me get logged back in here. What is going on? So let me ask you in Korea. Do people follow true crime closely? I didn't ask. It never really came up in conversation. Okay. But isn't that interesting when you travel abroad? I just I'm sorry. Side note while you're lurking in. Yeah, keep going. People don't ask you when you're abroad what you do for work, which is so refreshing. Well, actually, and I didn't even I haven't even told you this yet. I did. And, um, for my Korean listeners, I don't know if everybody's going to be on board with this. I know some people are like, very against this. I saw a Sanju. I don't know if that's how you pronounce it. It's kind of like, not a fortune teller. That's I think is Oh, I think that is like diminishing it. But like somebody who reads your charts, your birth charts, your water signs, all these different things like astrologists. No, but like, high level of accuracy will like tell you what is to come in your life. When I tell you, I'm nervous. So me, all the girls got it done. It's pretty freaking accurate. And like saying stuff about me that like I didn't share and that she didn't even know who I was before I went in there. So she couldn't have looked me up. She couldn't have done anything nailed automatically how many kids I have, that one is really smart. When I asked her how to make sure she put in the cards, and she's all she's all your son, he's very smart, you need to focus on academics, all this stuff. And then she's like, and your daughter. She's tough. She's that's so funny. Because last night, I got a glimpse. I don't know how, but I thought of her in her teenage years. And I just thought, I can't you are and I can't wait for it. No, I know. And it's like, unassuming. She's like such this little, like cutie with glasses. But like the kind who will like look at you and smile and then like step on your toe and run away. But yeah, so that was really interesting. And so my point in bringing that up is I did end up telling her that I was in true crime. Because at first, she's like, you would be such a good educator. Do you do anything for work as an educator? I was like, well, I guess I educate on red flags. And so but yeah, that was a wild experience. I can't wait to hear about. Yeah. But yes, okay. So we have a lot to talk about today. And let's actually start with some happy news. Because we can start today's episode off on a positive note. I have a very good update to share in the case of the 14 year old girl Diana Ortega, who disappeared back in August, just days after the body of her newborn baby was found alongside the road in Monterey County. If you remember that we talked about how that was happening here in California. How people discovered this newborn baby who was unfortunately no longer alive on the side of the road. And then an Amber Alert was issued for this, who they believe is the mother, this 14 year old girl and her father, who had allegedly abducted her and was also the father of not only the 14 year old girl, but also the father of her newborn baby. So again, if you remember, the authorities believed that Diana was with her father, Sergio Perez, who was wanted on charges related to sexually assaulting her. So now, the Monterey County Sheriff's Office has confirmed that Diana has been found safe in Mexico after being rescued by Mexican law enforcement. Sergio was also arrested during the operation after authorities reportedly found him in possession of narcotics. And Mexican officials are aware of the charges that he is facing back here in California. So it appears she has been rescued. He is now arrested. Let's throw away the key. I don't know what's going to happen with extradition and bringing him back to California and all of that. I think when we talked about this case, it was assumed that he was fleeing to Mexico and that that's where he was going to try to hide with her. Meanwhile, his wife and her mother was still back here. And if I remember correctly, she wasn't entirely being cooperative. I felt like there was something weird there. Yeah. So the point being, Diana is currently safe. She's in the care of local authorities in Mexico and investigators say that they will release more information about her rescue and also Sergio's arrest at a later press conference. But happy that they have been found. Absolutely. Hopefully this girl can get the help that she needs. I can't even begin to imagine what she has been through mentally, physically, emotionally, sexually, all of these things. So happy news with that. Now, as much as I would rather never talk about this person and interesting little side note, anytime I'm out on tour doing like the live shows, I always do a poll with the audience saying, what is the case? Like, you really want me to talk about? Somehow this bitch always creeps up to like the number one or number two spot. And I have never talked about her. The top two cases that come up are the top two you don't cover. That I will refuse to cover. And that is what? That's JonBenet and Gypsy fucking Rose. And the reason I don't like talking about Gypsy Rose is because, yes, I do believe in some sense she was a victim in everything that happened to her that her mother had subjected her to. But equally, I think she's a huge villain. I think she not only planned and calculated this whole master plan to have her mother murdered by her weirdo boyfriend fiance guy, but I think she was an active participant. And if you need a reminder in all of that, they had sex on the floor after they murdered her mother and like were getting off on it. Like, she is disgusting. And the amount of fanfare that came out when she was released from prison, it made me sick to my stomach, especially. And I've said this only during the live shows. I don't think I've ever said it here. I don't think I've ever said it here on an episode. But I know you've heard this because you go to the live shows. Shortly after her release, I was sent a Google folder, a link with all the uncensored, unredacted crime scene photos of her mom, images that will never be removed from my brain. And just the amount of evil that it takes for someone maybe not to physically be holding the weapon and doing this, but to be complicit in the planning, execution and then the aftermath of like the cover-ups and trying to blame Nick and all these things. It's just, it takes a true diabolical person to do something like that. Well, and it's one thing if you do sympathize with her and say, okay, you went through a lot of trauma and maybe it drove you to this crazy thing you did and you're in prison. And now for reasons you've been allowed out, okay, let's call it a day, whatever. But then to then have all this fame and to be going out and being so public and, like, kind of exploiting the whole thing. Not kind of. She is absolutely exploiting it. That's where it absolutely lost it for me. Yeah, she is disgusting. And so as much as I would rather never talk about this person, we are going to talk about Gypsy Rose for a moment. Because her longtime on-again, off-again partner and the father of her daughter, Ken Urker, has now died. And he was just 34 years old. Now, obviously, you hearing my tone in this episode, you know that I can't stand Gypsy Rose. And I think that's a good thing. I feel a certain type of way about her. But regardless of everything that I can't stand about her, this is more about Ken. And that's why I want to share this update. Because he was a father, a brother, a son, and his family. family is grieving. And honestly, it's only been a few days now, and this entire situation has been very messy. People, of course, assuming, did she have something to do with it? What's the likelihood that two people close to this girl have now died? But also the aftermath and her response, how quickly she was giving exclusives on this situation. It just feels really gross. Now, if you don't know, Ken and Gypsy originally met while she was still in prison for her role in the murder of her mother, Dee Dee. They got engaged in 2018, ended up breaking things off, got back together, broke things off again. And then, of course, while they were apart, we know Gypsy married Ryan Anderson. That, of course, didn't last. And then she got back with Ken. Actually, it was a few months after she was released from prison in December of 2023 that she announced that she and Ryan were separating. And then almost immediately, Ken was right back in the picture. So they reconciled in April of 2024. And then eight months later, they welcomed their daughter, Aurora. However, just last Thursday, on October 1st, which was actually also Ken's 34th birthday, he was found dead inside his home in Louisiana. According to the police report, Gypsy's half-brother Dylan and his wife became concerned after Ken had apparently been struggling emotionally the night before. Then he failed to show up for work the morning. So Dylan went to the house, looked through a bedroom window, and he saw Ken lying unresponsive on his bed. And when deputies arrived, Ken was cold to the touch, and he wasn't breathing. However, what they found inside the home, that has raised even more questions. Because according to the report, deputies found syringes and a spoon right next to a brown powdery substance in the bathroom, which usually, I'm not a huge, you know, drug savant, but brown powder substance, I believe, from all of my research, is heroin. Another syringe was also reportedly sitting on Ken's nightstand, along with a holstered handgun. His face was covered with a handgun, and his face was covered with a handgun. His face and arms were blue, but there were apparently no signs that the bedroom or bathroom had been disturbed. Meaning, there was no break-in, no fight between him and somebody else, no third-party culprit, or even, I guess, second-party culprit. Nothing like that. So an autopsy was done, but as of right now, there is no official cause or manner of death. And tox reports are also still pending. However, based on the scene and the substances that were found, they believe that it was an overdose. Whether that overdose was an overdose or not, was intentional or not, we don't know. But Gypsy has publicly said that she believes that Ken may have overdosed, even though the investigators still have not officially confirmed that. And this is where things, like I said, really start getting messy. Because Gypsy has given several interviews since Ken's death, saying that she had texted him happy birthday that day, that she got concerned when he didn't respond. In one interview, which was the day after he died, she said that Ken had not been in a good state of mind, and she said that she didn't know whether or not his death was intentional or not. But what I found really gross about this whole thing is within hours of it being discovered that he had died, she was giving exclusives to TMZ, to People, to all of these media outlets before his family could even speak on it. And his family then did speak out, saying they wanted to keep details private. They wanted to keep it within the family. They weren't trying to go broadcast everything. But Gypsy Rose, being the little annoying, clout-chasing, limelight-loving weasel that she is, felt like, oh my god, I just found out my former fiance is dead. Let me pick up the phone and call TMZ and let them know the scoop at everything I can. Let me somehow make myself the victim in all of this. Let me say how I sent him a happy birthday text and I was concerned about him. It's just so gross. She also described Ken as her soulmate and her, quote, saying that their connection was something that even death could never erase. She also blamed at least some of what Ken had been going through on the intense online harassment and cyberbullying that he had received because of their relationship. Which this was really interesting too, because in some of her exclusives that she was giving to media outlets, she started pushing a new law that she wants being brought into the forefront of tighter restrictions on cyberbullying and all but also, again, this isn't about you and his sister and his family. They are directly negating that it had anything to do with the cyberbullying. But it's again, in my opinion, Gypsy trying to scoot her way to the front of this to somehow use it as a place to receive all of the attention, platform herself, and re-victimize herself. So like I said, Ken's sister Autumn, she's telling a very, very different story than what Gypsy has been spinning. According to Autumn, Ken and Gypsy weren't even together when he died. They were broken up. She claims that Ken ended their relationship more than a month prior and said that Gypsy was making it sound like they were still this happy, beautiful, committed couple, even allegedly telling people that they were still engaged and planning on having baby number two. But Autumn basically said, no, none of that is true. Which, take a listen directly from Autumn. You know, she tried to paint a fake narrative that they were engaged and blah, blah, blah. Bitch, you're not lying on his name. He was not with you. Just last night, he was detesting your fucking name. Stop. You have Aurora. You have her now. You've got what you fucking wanted. She also took issue with Gypsy's claim that her unanswered birthday text is ultimately what led everybody to realize that something was wrong. Because if you remember, she said, I texted him happy birthday. When he didn't respond, I got concerned. She's saying, no, that's not at all how it went down. Because according to the police report, it was Dylan and his wife and Ken's boss who all three became concerned after Ken didn't show up for work. The report does not say that Gypsy was even there when Ken was found or that she was the person who contacted the authorities. Which, once again, listen to Autumn and what she has to say about that. No, Gypsy's brother, Dylan. Correct. Yes, he did. I don't know. Make of that what you will. Autumn said that she actually spoke to her brother just hours before his death. She said, I don't know. Autumn said that she said that she actually spoke to her brother just hours before his death. And that in that conversation, Ken told her that he was tired, was going home to sleep, and that he had work the next morning. Then their conversation ended the same way that it normally did, with the two of them telling each other, I love you. She did say that Ken had recently been struggling, particularly after an old prison phone call between him and Gypsy had resurfaced online. People began attacking him over it. And I believe the context of that call, and I'm just paraphrasing here, so please do your own research. But it was something like, I don't know, I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't the lines of, if authorities found CSAM material on my phone, would you still love me? Or something like that. And I don't know if that's because he actually had material like that on his phone, or if he was just speaking in hypotheticals, kind of how sometimes people will be like, if I ended up becoming addicted to heroin, would you still love me and see it through? Like, I don't know the context of all that, but I did see that circulating the internet. However, when Autumn was asked whether or not she believes her brother intentionally took his own life or not, Autumn said no. She believes that his death was accidental. And she said that the family is still keeping some of the details private within the family. Which again, we don't have the official cause of death yet. There was that drug paraphernalia that was found at the scene, but the tox report is still pending. So I don't know. Curious what you guys think, if you think it was an accidental overdose. I think that the signs are there that this was an overdose, whether accidental or not. I can't put myself in his brain, so I really don't know. I think it's really weird that Gypsy's trying to say that they were planning baby number two, that they were so happy. But again, not that weird when I really think of what a lying little asshole she is. So I think, again, she's trying to just make herself the victim in all of this. And she's obsessed with the limelight. And I just, I fucking really despise that girl. I know. It's like, she's just trying, you know, when someone passes and they try to like then be like, they were a good friend of mine. It's like, no, they weren't. And she's obviously trying to exaggerate the state they were in. I was curious when I heard that it was an overdose and obviously they found the paraphernalia, if it was that he was having a bad time and that it was his birthday, which brought up maybe some emotions and that he did that and like was reckless with it. Or if it was just an accident, you know, but I saw something where, yeah, she was trying to pin it on the online bullying and basically saying like, we need to stop this. But then videos were surfacing of her. Oh, yeah. law for cyberbullying. Well, if Anyone else was doing it. I think it would be a great thing to do. Of course. But she's doing it to be like, look, you guys were attacking us, attacking, like making herself a part of the narrative as well. Yes. And you know what it's giving? It's giving the kind of person who posts on their Instagram, they're a picture of their arm with a hospital bracelet and says, say prayers, but doesn't give any context and wants the people to come and be like, are you okay? Oh my gosh, what's going on? And then like leaves everybody on read. Cause she just wants you to like stew and like, think about like, you know, that she's the victim. That's what it's like reminding me of. Well, she's an opportunist, an opportunist at any cost. Yeah. An opportunist. No, a huge opportunist. And she just, now that she's kind of been fading, I think from the public eye or even the celebrity of it all, because people are starting to realize like, oh no, you actually are evil regardless of what you went through as a child. Like you still, what, like you're still evil and you still planned all of this and seemingly have no remorse. I think that all of the opportunities have started to fade. So any way possible for her to reinsert herself into getting the public's attention and even more than that, getting the public's good graces, I think she's going to try to do. Well, I mean, it's not a good sign when your ex-fiance or baby daddy dies and everyone's looking at you. Yeah. Being like, what did Gypsy have to do with this? Yeah, exactly. That's pretty telling. So hopefully that's the last time I have to talk about Gypsy Rose. I really hope. I hope so. Is a deep dive coming? No, a deep dive is not coming, but I do hope that Joey King is signing a contract for the act two. Oh, you do? I mean, did you ever see that series? She did a great job. And side note, Patricia Arquette, I don't know if she's still alive. She used to follow me. Oh. And I love her. That is like. I love Patricia Arquette. Wow. I love her too. She's so good. She was in that other prison movie that was so good. Dan Mara or the Escaping Dan Mara or Dagmar. Yeah, she's so good. That was so good. I know. She's great. I don't know if she still follows me. Maybe she doesn't. Patricia, if you're listening, I love you. All right. What do we got? This next one is out of Quincy, Illinois, and it's kind of strange because it's not getting a lot of attention right now, but it should be because it's pretty crazy. And I know more details will come out. So on Thursday, September 24th, police were called out to an old apartment building that was used to be in a post office in downtown Quincy, Illinois for a wellness checkup. Because one apartment in particular had been smelling absolutely foul for months. Neighbors say they had noticed the smell for quite some time, but because apparently this building was kind of known for not smelling great to begin with and having issues, some thought it could be dead mice, garbage, maybe even pest control, something like that. But over the last two to three weeks, it had gotten significantly worse, so much so that one neighbor described it as unbearable. But when police got inside, they found out that it was a post office building. They realized that that smell was coming from something much worse. It was coming from a decomposing body on the couch. The next day, the Adams County coroner identified the victim as 24-year-old Destiny Daniels, and her body was so badly decomposed that they actually had to obtain dental records and conduct a forensic exam of her teeth just to confirm her identity. And as of right now, two weeks later, her cause and manner of death are still pending. But immediately there were questions just about, how long Destiny had been inside that apartment. One neighbor said they hadn't seen her since December 22nd of last year, and another said they hadn't seen her since around February 22nd of this year, when Destiny was reportedly seen arguing with her boyfriend in the hallway of that apartment building. And keep that in mind because that's going to be very important later on. So about a week after Destiny was found, her sister Amanda spoke out and said that she had actually gone to the apartment before looking for Destiny just three days before police came in. And at that time, she said she was told that smell was from some sort of sewer backup. She explained that her family had lost almost all contact with Destiny about six years earlier, when Destiny was just 18, after a disagreement involving her boyfriend, Colin Blanchett. Destiny had told her family that she was going to drop Colin off and then come back, but then she never did. And Amanda said that she did see her again about a year ago, gave her a hug, told her she loved her, and gave Destiny her phone number. And Destiny had promised that she would call, but Amanda said that she had never heard from her. It was really hard, but the last time at least I got to give her a hug and tell her I loved her. And I'd say that was a year ago. And I gave her my phone number, and she said she'd call, but I never heard from her. I drove by that apartment building a million times, and never once would I have thought something like that. However, another family member apparently was receiving messages from Destiny, and Amanda couldn't quite give the exact timeline for when those messages stopped, but she said they had been frequent and recent. So then the question was, who was sending all of these messages to this other family member? Because remember, neighbors said that they hadn't seen Destiny since at least late February, and by September, her body was so badly decomposed that they had needed these dental records to help identify her. Well, her family thinks that it's Colin. Amanda claims that Colin had isolated Destiny from her family, over the course of their relationship, which we just briefly talked about. And Destiny's family now believes that she may have been dead inside that apartment for at least the last seven months. They allege that during that time, Colin continued using the apartment, driving Destiny's car, paying the rent, and using her cards. Now, to be clear, these are just allegations made by Destiny's family. Colin has not been charged in connection with her death, and police say that he has been fully cooperating with their investigation. But I mean, there are some. There are some obvious questions here. Because according to neighbors, Destiny and Colin did live together. So if she was really dead inside that apartment for months, did he just not notice this decomposing body on the couch? Did he not question why his girlfriend hadn't been around if she wasn't at the apartment? And even if she had moved out at some point, even if there was some other explanation that we don't know about yet, make it make sense. Because I would imagine there would have been some level of communication between them over all those months. Not to mention, if he was using the apartment, using her cards, and paying rent at a building that they shared, I mean, obviously, there'd be some record there. And Destiny's family also claims that Colin told friends months ago that she was, quote, gone. But apparently, people thought he was just joking. Colin, meanwhile, reportedly told police that Destiny just never left the apartment because she had anxiety. So obviously, some conflicting stories there. And as more and more questions keep coming up about Colin, people realize that he had just seemed to disappear. It came out a few days after Destiny was found that he was apparently on a planned trip to the Lake of the Ozarks. And her family doesn't believe that this was just a coincidence and suspect that he may have known that Destiny was about to be found and was actually going on the run. Again, police have not accused Colin of killing Destiny and investigators are still waiting for the full autopsy results. Crews wearing full hazmat gear were seen removing furniture from the apartment just last week and Destiny's family has asked authorities to secure the apartment. and make sure all potential evidence is properly documented. For Amanda, though, this is about making sure that people know who her sister was. She described Destiny as a ray of sunshine who was always joking and laughing. She had been an honor roll student and according to Amanda, seven colleges were interested in her with full ride scholarships on the table. She was a ray of sunshine all the time. She could brighten up any room that she entered. She was always joking and laughing. She was always picking on somebody. She was on honor roll. She was going somewhere. She had seven colleges interested in her full ride scholarships. She could have been anybody she wanted to be. And she met him and decided to stay, take a gap year. I thank God every day for giving me her. So now they want to know exactly what happened, of course, and if there really is someone that knew something all along and, of course, if her boyfriend had anything to do with it. I have an idea. What do you think? I think I'm raising my hand. I have an idea. I think that he knows what's going on. You do? Groundbreaking. I mean, what's kind of crazy is, like, I'm not living in a building that smells so bad for months that I'm just ignoring it and there's a decomposing body. Well, well, well, you are if you are so dumb that you don't know how to dispose of the body and you're trying to just keep that person alive in theory so that you can use their credit cards, spend their money, text family members from her phone pretending she's still alive until the money depletes or the remains are too rotten and decomposed at that point to continue on. I mean, that's some crazy shit. How many cases have we covered like that, though? And it's so sad because you have this 18-year-old girl who had seven colleges approaching her, her whole life ahead of her. I feel like that's so cliche to say, but it's like her whole life ahead of her and then, tale as old as time, you meet a guy, he isolates you, you meet a guy, he isolates you, and, like, the poor family, but I'm like, the family hasn't talked to you in six years and then you see your sister and obviously you don't reach out to her after you have the number. Like, that's so awful. It's really sad. It's going to be interesting to see what comes out not only in, like, the discovery and the evidence, but also if more friends come forward who possibly had some sort of eyewitness account of the relationship and what had been going on over the last six years. Was she truly isolated? I mean, for him to tell people too. Like she doesn't leave the house. She just has too much anxiety. That's a red flag. to like I don't think so and it seems to me like yeah he met her he grew not I don't want to say groomed preyed on her isolated her emotionally financially psychologically maybe physically abused her but to where she then became dependent on him and she didn't reach out to her family I think that's why her sister Amanda said like when she saw her she gave her a hug and said here's my number call me like trying to give an olive branch um yeah well and then really sad if the family thinks that he fled to the Ozarks because maybe he thought maybe the body was going to be found in the next few days I wonder why he thought that is it like the smell had just reached that point where yeah you know oh gosh how sad I know okay so we have an update in the Lindsay Clancy case because both sides were back in court for a hearing on September 29th and look I always read your dms guys I know and once this hearing happened and once Reddington said what he said the amount of messages of people be like you're gonna talk about it and he's gonna talk about it oh you're real silent now aren't you man I'm like no I'm in freaking Korea and I don't have a mic I will talk about it so I am here and we are going to talk about it so the hearing was basically to set a new trial date go over some of the post-trial motions that have been have been made since the trial and Reddington made a few statements and appealed to the judge in a way that makes made a lot of people believe oh he thinks Pat not Pat I don't want to say he thinks Patrick did it because he has come out saying he doesn't believe Patrick did it but saying there's not enough evidence so the biggest issue was that Kevin Reddington was asking Judge Sullivan to essentially step in and find Lindsay not guilty arguing that the state simply did not present enough evidence during the trial to prove that she killed her children and he tried this once before if you remember before closing arguments I believe it was he tried this as well saying they haven't met the burden of proof you need to find her not guilty and the judge said no now he was trying again now prosecutors obviously disagreed and said that there was plenty of evidence including digital data Patrick's testimony and Lindsay's own statements which before you interrupt me or scream at your airpods and say well her own statements are because Patrick said Patrick said I know I know but they're saying you know we are we don't agree with this I think there's plenty of evidence but of course people have started talking a lot about Reddington's argument here because all throughout the trial the defense was arguing that Lindsay wasn't criminally responsible and that argument was because the trial wasn't uh what's the word I'm looking for split what's the word starts with a b whatever you guys know what I'm talking about um but because the trial wasn't split which he initially tried to do so then at that point the only real legal argument he could make is not guilty by reason of insanity so understand that as well but now Reddington is basically saying from this hearing like okay but you also didn't prove that she did it there wasn't enough evidence the investigation was bad all of these things now was that purely because that's the argument that he needed to make for a required finding of the judge to find her not guilty probably but it is an interesting shift because like I said everybody online not everybody but a lot of the people who do believe that either Patrick's involved or somebody else is involved said oh this is Reddington saying there's not enough proof there's not enough evidence he's actually now going to try to get Lindsay off entirely with not guilty I think that that is absolutely true I think that I don't think it's because he believes that she's not guilty I don't think that it's because he believes Patrick did this because not only has he spoken out in multiple interviews since the trial leave Patrick alone Patrick is a good thought was a good husband a good father all of these things but also he never disputed the fact that Lindsay did this which again I know that that was the argument that he had to go with not guilty by reason of insanity during the first trial but even after that he was vocal about the shortcomings of the health care system and all of those things but now if you're going to go to a retrial of course as a defense attorney your strategy is going to be get my client off by the end of the trial and then you're going to go to a retrial all means necessary whether that's saying there's not enough evidence to prove that she did this whether that's trying to bring in enough reasonable doubt probably not an alternative suspect because I don't think there's enough evidence to bring that in but certainly enough evidence with reasonable doubt you don't have to prove who killed the children all you have to do is prove there's not enough evidence to convict Lindsay of it a perfect example which is I think also a big reason why people think there's corruption and cover-up and all these things in this case is Karen's case. Karen Reed right they didn't have to prove that the Alberts killed John O'Keefe or that he was killed in that basement they just had to prove from the defense's side that Karen didn't do it or that I'm sorry they didn't even have to prove that and obviously it's not their burden of proof it's the state so I'm saying that loosely but their job is just to cast enough reasonable doubt and poke holes in the state's presentation they don't have to be they're not the ones who have the burden of saying well here's who really did it and let me prove why so I know that was really long-winded but all to say I do believe this is a strategy from Reddington trying to do whatever he can for Lindsay I don't think it's because he truly believes that Lindsay didn't do this and believe somebody else did not at all especially based on things he said and especially too because he is open to a plea deal which if he truly thought that he could prove that she's not guilty that there was enough evidence that she didn't do this remember he said he loves her like a daughter you think you'd accept a plea deal most likely not so strategy yes do I think that it's because he's going to finally have that mic drop moment and either implicate Patrick in any way or something else no I think he's going to say use it to his advantage of look they took it at face value for what it was there was never a really thorough investigation even looking into other people let me cast as much doubt as I can to prove that like to show that they didn't prove their argument that she did this there's not enough proof not enough evidence and like let's see what comes of it however a few days after that hearing Judge Sullivan made a ruling on that motion and on October 1st he denied Reddington's request to find Lindsay not guilty saying that there was enough physical and circumstantial evidence for a jury to potentially convict her he also said that whether the jury believed the defense experts who testified that Lindsay wasn't criminally responsible because of her mental health was ultimately for the jury to decide not him now there were supposed to be a handful of other motions that were talked about at this hearing too however most of them got posted postponed to November 2nd that's when the next hearing is scheduled to be but here's the thing that a lot of people are talking about in all of this the new trial date and what that potentially would look like when would that be how soon and how quickly would that come because that's what this hearing was originally supposed to be about well Judge Sullivan wanted to get another trial on the calendar however both sides had asked it to hold off until these motions that they had talked about were done the ones that got postponed until those motions were decided I personally think that that's because they are going to have some sort of plea deal in place that's just my personal opinion I think that they want to see how these motions are decided then the state is going to determine hey should we offer a plea deal which would in my opinion look like her going into a facility for X amount of years seeking treatment I don't think that it would include any prison time but that's just my guess and I don't think Reddington would accept anything that included prison time I do think he would accept something of her going into a treatment facility however what's interesting is people noticed that Reddington specifically said he would not be available for another trial until June of 2027 oh wow which interestingly enough that just so happens to be the same month that Judge Sullivan reaches Massachusetts mandatory retirement age so is that another strategy is that a coincidence who knows but people are definitely putting it together and being like oh is that because he wants a new judge entirely on this case what's going to happen there if he's delaying it is that more likely to box in the state into offering a plea deal because they don't want to wait until then and they don't want a new judge who really knows so for now Lindsay has not been acquitted another trial is yes still on the table but there is no new trial date yet everybody is going to be back in court for another hearing on November 2nd and I will be following it to see what comes out and I will bring you the updates so can you do that can you say I'm just not available for over a for like yeah if you're like schedule is so packed because think about if you're like a sought-after attorney you're working on things for a long time going through discovery all these things you could say like I'm not available until then but the judge probably could fight back and argue but but if that was a strategy you'd have to what fill your calendar with stuff yeah that's kind of crazy because then I feel like I don't know like where like what's the boundary there what if someone's booked out for two three years like you're just gonna I mean there's got to be something in place where it's like no sorry you have till then to find a new representation or something there probably is something because people do have um you have a right to a speedy trial I was gonna say that but I'm like I don't want to quote that wrong um however I do know in a lot of other cases too when it's been like a very complex case it takes so much time to even get through the discovery because it's boxes and boxes and thousands of papers and so they say like we can't go to trial for a year because we just don't have enough resources to even get through all the evidence and be well equipped enough and prepared enough for a trial so I don't know we will see wow I know everyone's so split on this one I know i saw them coming for you they were coming but that's fine we all can agree to disagree in the club we all fam well this next one everyone has also been asking about oh my gosh i know and it's a lot no it's so much i'm doing the deep dive right now yeah i honestly didn't even know this was possible so today we're going to talk through a very brief summary of krista pike and what happened with her execution but as annie said a deep dive is coming as soon as i heard about the failed execution i was like hold on what this like chick even do what's going on it's so much worse than i even could have imagined yeah i had never heard of her to be honest and it sounds like i don't want to know about her and look like i believe in the death penalty i truly do but i also would be lying if i said that after hearing what she did to even receive the death penalty i'm not kind of happy it didn't work really she was in pain and that her arm was burning and that she's incapacitated okay well let's get into it in your words let's get into it krista gail pike is a convicted murderer who became the only woman on death row in tennessee and the first woman to be set to be executed in tennessee in over 200 years she was convicted of first degree murder for the 1995 torture and killing of her 19 year old classmate colleen so in january of 1995 when krista was just 18 years old she and her then boyfriend and friend lured colleen into a secluded area on the university of tennessee agricultural campus colleen was tortured and beaten for more than 30 minutes a pentagram was carved into her chest her skull was crushed with a piece of asphalt and after she died krista kept a piece of her skull as a souvenir like i said yeah i lethal injection until you don't die but that your arm is burning i mean what 18 year old even thinks of doing that a psychopath that's wild yep so again very brief summary there's a lot that goes into this case but ultimately krista was found guilty and sentenced to death she spent the next 30 years on death row and on september 30th of this year she was scheduled to be executed at 10 a.m but as you probably know by now things did not go as planned less than two hours before the execution the sixth circuit court of appeals issued a temporary stay while they reviewed evidence surrounding krista's ptsd and severe childhood trauma but then later that evening the u.s supreme court cleared the execution to proceed then just before 7 30 p.m the curtains to the execution chamber opened and krista was strapped to a gurney with an iv in her right arm and her spiritual advisor by her side when she was asked if she had any last words krista said quote i'm going to leave this world the way i spent most of my life and that is with love end quote she also said she loved the people who were angry with her just as much as the people who were on her side and said quote i'm at peace and ready to go then the execution process started krista was given a dose of phentobarbital the medication that's used for lethal injections but within minutes she started complaining about her arm saying that it felt like it was about to burst open and that was really throbbing and instead of just like everyone had expected she continued moving around for the next 10 to 15 minutes she kicked her legs hard enough that the sheet covering her actually came off saying with her spiritual advisor lifted her head to look at the iv in her arm moved her jaw around and took these extremely deep breaths that witnesses said moved her entire body so much so that it looked like her body was actually levitating off the gurney could you imagine being there and saying that i feel like that would make me pass out like of sheer shock yeah i would not even imagine what that was like yeah now eventually the curtains did close for several minutes and witnesses said they could clearly hear krista snoring it's believed that this is when she received the second dose of phentobarbital and then when the curtains opened again krista appeared to be asleep and loudly snoring but witnesses say that at different points it almost looked like she was choking she lifted her head let out a loud grunt and then continued taking these deep labored breaths and the way the witnesses described it was almost like it was a scene out of the exorcist which is what i was kind of envisioning just jerking and like involuntary movements is kind of how i was picturing it would be freaky to watch yeah but just after 8 p.m krista was reportedly gasping for air and the curtains were then closed again this time and this time they were closed for good but witnesses still stayed in that room for another 50 minutes afterward completely confused about what was happening and still able to hear krista snoring behind the curtain eventually they were asked to leave and as they walked out they saw emergency vehicles arriving at the prison krista was then taken by ambulance to the hospital for medical treatment and i think that's where an obvious question here is that a lot of people are asking is like why if this person is scheduled to be executed are they then having these life-saving measures and taking her to the hospital for medical treatment when they were again just trying to execute her yeah which that surprised me too well there were two big problems tennessee's execution protocol only allows for two doses of the lethal injection drug and krista had already received both and at that point leaving her there suffering while they waited for her to die raised constitutional concerns about cruel and unusual punishment and regardless of how anyone feels about it there are still legal limits on how an execution is able to be carried out and that varies by state as well at the hospital krista was placed on a ventilator and was in critical condition she stayed that way for about six days but then on tuesday of this week she woke up and not only did she wake up but she was able to speak her attorneys say that her prognosis is unclear but at a minimum she will have a very long recovery so what happened well according to an emergency court filing krista's iv apparently blew causing the phentobarbinol to go inside the tissue of her arm and spread throughout her body rather than going directly into her bloodstream so now her attorneys are asking the governor of tennessee to commute her sentence to life in prison rather than death and if krista wakes up with brain damage severe enough that she no longer can even understand that she's being executed and why she could potentially be deemed incompetent for execution automatically the governor has also stopped all executions in tennessee for the rest of 2026 while the state investigates exactly what happened and whether or not it will be a deep dive on this very soon and we'll have a lot more in-depth information and maybe even more updates on her condition at that time yeah i probably will have more updates on her condition but i mainly wanted to like dive into why was she found like why was she not why was she found guilty but why did she get the death penalty because i think she was like what the first woman ever to be executed she's in tennessee yeah yeah and like in death on death she was the first woman to be put on death row so i was like so i was curious like what was this crime that she did and once i started getting into that that's where i was like oh holy shit so i don't know if this was like divine intervention prolonged suffering or what happened here but i'm someone who likes to believe that like justice is justice is justice and couldn't have happened to a better person well what happened to the other two involved which i know you'll tell us but stay tuned for monday yeah stay tuned um yeah this is really freaking scary i don't know where are you what do you feel like do you feel like it's sad and bad and she should have just been put down do you think that like she should have had the firing squad instead because also think about that too i get lethal injection is not a pleasant experience however when you are getting a drug administered via iv and it's supposed to incapacitate you within seconds or minutes i only can think of when i've gone under general anesthesia that's what i was thinking about surgery and like no offense but it's pretty peaceful it's the most pleasant experience out there i'm like what's the street name for this drug no like you know whenever i've had to go under for surgery or anything it's like they just say start counting back and you go to sleep so i'm like and i get lethal injection from what i've been heard and i've never heard obviously from anyone firsthand but like maybe now i can but like from what i've heard it's not pleasant and it does burn when it's going in because of how strong it is but still like that to me seems like a much more humane way to die than the firing squad like the electric chair the electric chair what was that movie the green mile with the dry sponge when it when it went bad yeah like that's kind of what i like that to me is torturous i don't know i guess but like if you're someone who's so callous that you not only at such a young age committed such a heinous murder and you torture you yes you take the school like you are a sociopath so the fact that you get to just sleepy time no when i know you know the final word she said that you're going to talk about which again i didn't know anything about her at the or what she did i just saw her face plastered over the news and like of course read into it and immediately i thought what did this girl do at 18 and did have sympathy and then when i heard more of that i'm like oh no okay and isn't it with those last words beyond ironic like serendipitous isn't it ironic don't you think it's it's like your execution day oh not going your way it's okay okay does your new project involve singing no it doesn't it should i thank you thank you um oh okay so i hope that i didn't piss off a lot of people just now but because i know some people are very against the death penalty or conversely feel like this was an epic failure and she's a victim and she should have just like i mean definitely get your shit together tennessee and figure out what went wrong because that well it seems like the iv just blew and that i i've had ivs blowing me before and like two times it doesn't work well if they use the same port and just inject they wouldn't have known that it blew they would have used the same port and just re-injected i don't want to do a tissue again or not into it not yet into the tissue not the bloodstream yeah um all right so well if i haven't pissed people off yet in today's episode i was just gonna say you're about to if i haven't ruined your day yet it's it's here so this next story has absolutely exploded over the last couple of weeks and if you have been anywhere on social media you've probably heard people talking about the cornell seven it's been all over my feed you guys have been sending it to me i told you i was looking into it and i'm like oh my god i'm so sorry i'm so sorry i'm so sorry i did and here i am i'm here to talk with you about it today now it started with everybody on jane doe's side however now the tide is shifting a little bit not with everybody but with a few people and there is really a lot to unpack with this entire situation so for now what i want to do is i want to give you the basic rundown of what happened how this was originally handled and why the case is suddenly back under investigation and in the headlines all of a sudden i'm going to tell you a little bit about what happened and i'm going to almost two years after it happened but also for today's segment i want to stick with only the primary facts as always do your own research form your own opinions if you want a deep dive that goes into more of the speculation some of the audio calls some of the other stuff like absolutely let me know but this will be a lengthier segment in general but i wanted to just keep it very much like here's what we know without letting all the noise come in if that makes sense so this all goes back to october 19th 2024 when a 20 year old cornell university student who is identified publicly only as jane doe went to the chi-5 fraternity house after a night out with friends according to a civil lawsuit that she filed last month jane had already been drinking before she arrived then once she got to the fraternity house she says that she was pressured into consuming more alcohol marijuana and ketamine which i will never understand why ketamine is such a popular drug with you young people these days you're not just young people old people too but like when we were young it was fallen into the k-hole that's what everybody would like describe it as the fact that ketamine is like i was gonna say like the new age cocaine kind of because like when we were in school it was marijuana for sure and then people started loosely dabbling with cocaine i've heard from a lot of people that people still do cocaine yes but obviously are scared because it's cut with fentanyl and all the things but now that ketamine is way more popular for people to do and that's why it's so popular it scares me well it's used like controlled in therapy now yes and then i have heard and i've talked to people who actually have a prescription for ketamine oh and it's like comes even in the form of a nasal spray and it's meant to like i think curb anxiety and like it's by a doctor like am i wrong though isn't it also a horse tranquilizer or is that something else no that's what i always learned it to be so i don't know but i know there's these like psilocybin led therapy sessions where ketamine and like different drugs are used but yeah i was shocked i learned that this summer where somebody actually showed me they had their prescription ketamine wow and they're like yeah my doctor prescribed i'm like what well and yeah the fact that people are just using it recreationally i don't know maybe i'm a boomer but it freaks me out i think it's like that with everything though i mean marijuana is legal in a lot of places and i think a lot of people shouldn't be using it and misuse it and overuse it that's fair so anyway my point is she alleges that she eventually became so impaired by ketamine that she's like i don't know i don't know i don't know by all of these substances that she was drifting in and out of awareness and that over the course of seven hours seven different frat members sexually assaulted her and one of the most disturbing pieces of evidence that has come out in this case so far is a snapchat group chat of over 50 men who were members and alumni of kaifai fraternity i think it was 57 to be exact according to court documents and records from cornell's investigation at around 1 42 a.m while jane was one of the bedrooms a message was sent to that group chat on snapchat essentially quote advertising that she was in there and inviting everyone to come into the room and the messages you i'm sure have seen the screenshots they were incredibly vulgar one said free pussy in alum pu another said like you can walk in and whip it out then at another point someone asked whether the quote shop was still open and according to jane's lawsuit several fraternity members eventually did go into that room and allegedly sexually assaulted her so jane reported what happened to cornell university police about three weeks later on november 8th 2024 and she was formally interviewed several days after that however the criminal case went nowhere the da's office reviewed a six-page sworn statement prepared by cornell police which described jane as voluntarily drinking and using drugs that night and described at least some of the sexual activity as consensual and based on that information prosecutors said that there wasn't enough evidence to prove a crime beyond a reasonable doubt which kind of frustrates me because in that moment they didn't even take into consideration that she could have withdrawn consent at any time even if you start having sex consensually at any point you can remove consent and say hey stop get off of me like i'm coming to i don't want to do this and they didn't even seem to take that into consideration they also i don't know if they took into consideration that she was sexually assaulted that it could have been pressured consent and that it wouldn't have been consensual at all at that point and that she was pressured into i don't know there are a lot of different variables and like i said it's incredibly messy and but stick with me so when jane's full police interview became public almost two years later it painted a far more complicated picture because while she described the initial sexual activity as something that she was quote pretty okay with she said that later in the night she became completely incapacitated and described of what happened as coercive and even told investigators quote i can say with 100 confidence i was raped now that full interview was never given to the da's office before you know they had decided not to bring charges and they never independently interviewed jane before making that decision either cornell however continued with its own investigation which included roughly 50 interviews with 32 witnesses and 12 days of hearings and by the end of it the seven men who jane and jane were in contact with were also in contact with jane and jane were in they did receive some punishments if you can even really call them that because in my opinion these punishments and i'm going to use air quotes here punishments are pretty freaking ridiculous two of them were expelled after cornell found them responsible for sexual assault two others were suspended and placed on disciplinary probation while a fifth person who had already graduated was banned from the campus for three years then the last two people involved received no contact orders were required to complete sexual misconduct training and they also were required to what has now become the most infamous piece of punishment again very loosely they had to write reflection papers because yes the main part of their punishment was that they had to write essays reflecting on the situation but absolutely no criminal charges were brought against any of the seven men or the other 50 plus men who were in the group chat didn't intervene didn't stop it and didn't report it now this lawsuit was filed on september 16th and within a couple of days journalists at cornell's newspaper reported on it which is really what brought it into the spotlight and eventually it was all over the headlines and all over social media which in total the report was 101 pages and it had been filed against the seven men cornell university chi-fi fraternity and several other defendants and in total it laid out jane's allegations in full detail including the snapchat messages and as more records from the first investigation started becoming public so did those details about what jane had told the police versus what the da's office had actually received so the case very quickly became a national story and eventually the da announced that the criminal investigation would be reopened but before that investigation could even really get started new york governor kathy hokal stepped in she said that the newly released information raised serious questions about the case and she said that the investigation had been handled the first time around and on october 1st she ended up taking it away from the tompkins county da's office altogether now whether that's because they did such a piss poor handling of it the first time around or because now it's tainted with the jurisdiction i don't really know but she appointed the new york attorney general as special prosecutor meaning that the ag's office is now going to be overseeing the entire thing meaning the da who didn't do anything in the first time around he's out and he's going to be overseeing the entire thing meaning the da who didn't do anything in the first time around he's out he's not going to be involved and again none of the seven men have been criminally charged or convicted in connection with jane's allegations as of right now some of the men have also denied participating in any sexual assault some have now even countersued or sued the school themselves saying that they are victims because they were under the influence so there are a lot of things that are still happening within this case now i also do want to acknowledge something because there has been a lot of conversation online over the the last few days, question. Jane Doe's version of events. And I don't think that it would be responsible to just pretend that that conversation isn't happening and only give you a one perspective point of view kind of look as to what's happening here. So newly reported text messages and investigative records show that in the days immediately following that night, Jane Doe did not initially describe everything that happened as sexual assault. Also describing some of the multiple partner encounters as being her choice. Even so much as saying to a friend that she was a willing participant, that sometimes women get blamed for when men don't and things like that. There were interactions that she initially characterized as consensual. But then on October 30th, after learning that she had been uninvited from a Chi High fraternity event, she sent a very angry text in response saying, the woman will always get the short end of the stick. And she accused the guys of covering for themselves. So that has now led some people online to suggest that being uninvited is what motivated her allegations of saying this was sexually assault. That early on, she said that she was complicit, that she consented. Then after being disinvited, she felt like she was no longer welcome and felt like they looked at her a certain way. And so that sparked her to file these allegations. However, the actual timeline, when you break it down, it's far more complicated than that. Because a roommate had told investigators, that around October 28th, which was before that text message, she overheard Jane Doe confronting one of the men, asking him, how could you let this happen? And by November 3rd, Jane Doe was explicitly telling one of the men that she believed 90% of what happened that night was not consensual. She also sought a rape kit days later and ultimately went to the police. So yes, while there are some discrepancies between how Jane Doe initially processed and described parts of that complaint and the allegations that she's making today, those discrepancies are absolutely relevant and they undoubtedly will be scrutinized. But I think that we shouldn't collectively be so quick to, I don't know, discard what she said, think that she was lying, or, I don't know, jump to conclusions yet. It's so much right now, he said, she said, and there's not enough information or proven fact about what really happened that night. And that's not to say she's lying, that's not to say they are lying, I'm just saying, like, we don't know enough at this moment to say conclusively one way or another. And so I think we need to be very careful about making the leap from her account evolved to she fabricated a rape because she wasn't invited to a party. At this point, there simply isn't enough evidence establishing that as a fact. And there is other evidence, though, that has to be considered alongside those inconsistencies, including the fraternity Snapchat messages, the of her from that night, witness accounts, and Cornell's own extensive investigation. Because the truth is, even if she did consent to a three-way, even if she consented to a five-way, she didn't consent to being offered up sexually to a group of 57 men in a group chat. Surely she didn't. And also, I want to just point this out, too. This all happened within days, right, of her texting saying that it was consensual to then rescinding that and saying that it was not. It's very normal for somebody to not fully process an event or even to try to rationalize a traumatic event in the early days while trying to figure out what really happened. It's easy to be like, play it cool and be like, no, I was a part of it. I was a willing participant to then being like, wait, I wasn't. I was so impaired. I really wasn't. And I don't even remember X, Y, and Z coming into the room. It's not uncommon for it to take multiple days to process something fully. And after trying to rationalize it earlier. So I just want to point that out there. Now, can somebody years later go back and say, yes, it gets murky. It gets murky if somebody's changing. You can withdraw consent in the moment. You can't withdraw consent after the fact unless you realize that you weren't actually in a state of mind to give consent in the first place because you were so impaired. I hope that's making sense. Well, yeah. And I feel like it's kind of talking in circles and I'm trying to do my best to explain it objectively, but like it's complicated. It is. And like a conversation I know we've had here at the office is just like when you're that age and you're in college, everyone's impaired and at these parties. And so I'm not saying that means certain things should be allowed or not. Of course not. Like, but I think it's more than anything to me, like an opportunity for education, which sounds so cheesy, but it's true. It's like parents should be teaching their sons, not, not to abuse. Of course, that's, goes without saying, but also just if you're intoxicated, you may perceive something as consensual and it might be consensual to both, but you're both in a position where you shouldn't be making that decision. So like understanding the responsibility of that. Yeah. Having the conversations with your sons, your daughters, what consent looks like being very careful. And like I said, even if she did consent to having this three-way or having a couple other people join in after the fact, it's my belief that she did not consent. To being offered up to the entire fraternity group chat saying, come on, free pussy, come get it, dah, dah, dah, dah, dah. Maybe I'll be proven wrong, but this is something bigger in my opinion and a big problem. I mean, in recent years, it's been coming up the revenge porn where you're not even allowed to share messages of people that are, you know, exposed or whatever. And so even just sending that out, regardless of the context of it, you're not supposed to be doing. So, I mean, she was, her privacy was violated in so many ways. I agree. And I, it's, it makes me frustrated because I've seen a lot of people now saying she's not a victim, that she's doing this as retaliation because she was trying to impress one of the guys. And then she got disinvited and was no longer a part, like the cool girl in the frat. And so she did this as punishment. I believe wholeheartedly that she was a victim in this. Now, to what extent, we don't know, but I don't believe everything that happened in this situation was consensual. And I think it's like, if you're, even if you, to your point, even if you say it's consent, it's like, if you're too impaired, like it blurs the lines tremendously. And like this crossed that boundary in so many different ways for, for what these guys did. And so the fact that people are now saying she's not a victim and questioning her integrity, that's tough because so many people are already so scared to speak up and like speak their truth when something happens. And so I think it's, it's especially if they were under the influence because they carry so much shame with that. And so, I don't know, like I said, there are a lot of conflicting accounts here. That's why this needs to be fully investigated based on the evidence rather than tried on the streets of TikTok. But I wanted to at least address it, share what we know. Like I said, do your own research, come to your own conclusions and form your own opinions. I certainly have mine. I believe she was a victim and I believe these men need to be held accountable. Absolutely. And I think the story has, evolved so much since it came out. I'm sure there will be more details that come out. And again, I think there's just an opportunity for everyone to learn, like learn from this and like, it's so horrible. And so many people were affected and how easy it is to just jump in with your friends, not in that case, but just on a group chat or, and like, you should speak up. I think that's a good point too, is like, don't only have the conversation with your kids about consent and with your girls about consent as well, but also have the conversation about if your child is privy to information like that or see something to speak up and to do the right thing and to intervene. And like I said, I believe she was a victim. I believe that a lot, if not all of these men are to blame and that there wasn't consent. However, because they have not been criminally charged, that's why I made it a point to not share their names in this episode, because right now it's all still allegations. It is very confusing. There is a lot of conflicting stuff out there. So. Once we know more and once we are able to iron out the fact versus fiction, I will probably do an update, but also if you guys do want that deep dive, let me know and curious to know your thoughts on this. Yeah, definitely. And look, I know that a lot of people have different opinions on this and that's why I said, do your own research, form your own opinions. However, that being said, I came across a clip recently of the Megyn Kelly show where she's discussing this case. And I have to say, I don't know if you've heard of it, but I've heard of it. And I've heard the things that she is suggesting about Jane Doe disgust me and really upset me because I'm going to play the clip for you, but I'm paraphrasing here. She basically says that because Jane Doe is ugly and overweight, that she wanted this, that she was happy to get the attention from multiple male people and that it was, you know, a wanted interaction because of that, because otherwise she's not known as the pretty girl. Who gets the attention. And I have to tell you, when I first saw this, I thought maybe it was AI. I was like, there's no way that this is a real take from a human being and that these words are coming out of her mouth. However, it appears it was on her show. And what I find so rich about this, because she also goes on to say at the very end of the clip, how she, how Jane Doe only brought these allegations forward. And I think that's a really good point. I think that's a really good because she. She was uninvited from that party and she was spiteful and how she was pissed off then, which I find that really rich considering we know from if you've been following lawsuits and all the Fox News scandal back years and years ago that Gretchen Carlson had filed a major lawsuit against Fox News for the unwanted advances and sexual harassment by one of the top executives there. And Megyn Kelly herself came out and said that she also experienced that and had self-harm ideations because of it and she didn't come forward with that information publicly for nearly 10 years. But yet now she's shading this girl who arguably was trying to process a very traumatic event, figuring out what exactly even happened and started confiding in people days after it happened. She didn't even go public with what happened with her. And I'm not saying everybody has to go public when they experience something like that, but my point is certainly she can draw from her own experience to know that it is not always easy to come forward and to share these things and that sometimes it takes time for your mind to understand what happened to you. And so I found this clip deplorable, disgusting, so vile. It is one of the hottest takes that I have heard in a very long time and I cannot even believe that it is. Again, I want to emphasize that I do believe everybody should form their own opinions and come to their own conclusions, absolutely. However, sharing that somebody would ever potentially ask or welcome sexual assault because they are ugly or overweight feels grossly irresponsible. So take a listen to the clip and you tell me what you think. The absolute freak out by all women, not all of them are freaking out, but the ones who are. Over this accounts for zero agency for women whatsoever. They no one will even consider the possibility that this woman made a decision to get it on with four men total, not seven, and enjoyed it because I'm just going to be honest. She's not the most attractive gal. She's extremely. Beefy in like her arms and her legs. She has a whole video online talking about her cankles. And she possibly enjoyed being admired. This is how women make these mistakes admired wanted some women even foolishly say loved by these guys at Cornell. This is probably a first for her. She's probably thrilled to be so admired because she clearly didn't grow up the incredibly beautiful one. I'm not trying to be insulting. I'm just trying to tell you the narrative that is likely to have occurred here, in my opinion. And why can't we account for that possibility that the girl who was never the most sought after suddenly had four guys who wanted to have sex with her and she counted this yeah in her inebriated state as a win and liked the feeling of being sexy and desired and wanted it happens sorry it does and that's why she kept saying yes. Why do we have to go right to she's a victim? I'm not trying to be sarcastic. I'm not trying to be sarcastic.
