Um no. They are not. Manipulation is an aspect of abuse. Not every manipulation is undertaken by an abuser. Moreover, there is a spectrum of manipulation. Ted Bundy manipulated women. Bernie Maddof manipulated people. Scott Peterson manipulated people. Cosby manipulated people. I told my mom I liked her outfit even though I don’t like it all that much - that’s manipulated love too. Are you not discerning enough to see the difference? You sound unhinged, poorly informed, and hysterical. Like a mob yelling, “Burn the witch”. |
Ok! Manipulating others is not abusive. Got it. Thanks, Dr. Phil.

Appreciate your credentialed psychoanalysis. You're an excellent physician. |
People will believe someone and give them the benefit of the doubt about their identity because... why would you lie about something like that?! I am an Arabic speaker and if I met someone and they told me they were Lebanese and raised between Beirut and Boston and their accent in Arabic was a little funny, it wouldn’t even OCCUR to me to question their truthfulness; I would be finding reasons for the discrepancy in my own mind, like maybe their more formative years were in the US, maybe they don’t speak Arabic as much in the home, maybe their schools focused more on French and English. Them being a manipulative liar would be last on the list! |
+ 1 I also feel that the person who is posting against Hillaria is so rabid and hurtful that there has to be something very wrong with her mentally. She is reminding me of Samantha Markle. This is the face of insanity and mental illness. |
This. Feeling sorry for him seems OTT, but I do too. He seems to have been conned. That would surely explain having so many kids so quickly. Once he started to suspect, play on his not wanting to look like a sucker and then make him part of the lie. They probably do need the $$ she generates (in addition to his), which is based specifically on being Alec’s semi-exotic yoga teacher Spanish wife, to support 5 kids in the lifestyle for the next 25 years. |
See, she was not only lying to Alex, but making a brand out of lying to everyone. Not to mention, the cultural appropriation. For a lot of us first generation Americans, and what we have had to go through, this is unfathomable. Those trying to shirk her extremely long running deceits (plural) as a one off are not doing their homework. He may have some sympathy, as he is a narcissist, himself - but the rest of us don't forget, much as her sub par PR firm wants us to. The joke is, most men would be happy with a "pretty, rich, woman from Boston" - why did she feel the need to do this? I think it was because she stalked him, and she wanted to be opposite the beautiful ex wife, actress and model Kim Bassinger. Maybe I know too much about this situation, but this is my two cents. |
Agree with all this, but missed the part about there being one supervillain who outed her. I thought it was just an obvious realization? No? |
I think it really matters what the definitions of is is. |
I don't believe you. She signed up for this life, and could get out any time she wants, and get half. Even you don't believe she wants to give this up. |
To add, some people have big families to "keep" their man, for financial reasons, or otherwise. Think of the big families you know, and who the wife is (often a SAHM - or at least lower paid than the husband), vs. who the husband is (doctor, actor, etc.). |
| So not only does this all make Alec appear unstable, full or rage, pathetic for believing the obvious lie and desperate to keep believing it, but he’s also old, aged out of popularity, shacked up with a nutcase knockoff Spanish wife and a billion kids and seemingly broke. Why does he keep coming on here to tell us we’re jealous of his life again? |
x100000 BINGO. |
Some PR firms comb the internet for negatives. It's not Alex. |
Outed her for what? The Baldwins think she didn’t do anything wrong it was the media who misquoted her. So I can put CAA for claiming (for years) that she was born in Spain. Hola said she was Spanish born incorrectly. The Today show takes some blames for making her nervous and having a brain fart. The list goes on. Basically, like Trump has attested to for years, the media lies. |
