The PR spin that her family tried and tried to get her help and are glad she is in custody is BS.

Their actions suggest, rather, narcissism and possible abuse of E that lead to another round of multigenerational abuse. Even now her father offered to be her custodian. SICK, and it did not start with her in all likelihood.

But her previous arrest was just for having sex in a park. Is that really a red flag for needing treatment? Lots of people like to have sex in “exotic” locations. I remember back in the 90’s, the “what’s the weirdest place you’ve ever had sex?” Was a common topic.

It’s cliché to say hindsight is 20/20, but so true. I think most if not all families with means and influence will wield it to protect a loved one, and hope and believe that THIS is the turning point, THIS is the moment that they will make a change. What parent wouldn’t try to work out a community service deal for their teen who shoplifted or a kid who got caught with a fake id? The instinct not to ruin your loved one’s future by snowplowing legal troubles out of the way overrides any idea of sitting back and allowing natural consequences. And it does work sometimes - I have a few friends from high school, whose parents quashed underage drinking and event dui charges and now the kids are normal law abiding adults.

I agree with you mostly except that her 2019 arrest she was 41 and married w kids. That’s different than a parent bailing out a teenager who shoplifted or a college age student caught w fake id.

Yup, that’s a good point.

Ok, but that’s a sign that the marriage is in trouble, not a sign that she has mental health issues.

I'm in the camp that is was both. I don't think we have any idea how long she was having issues/how long that has been known to her family. Obviously, what she's been arrested for now is a lot more serious than her 2019 arrest. I could barely read that daily mail article. Stomach turning.

Agree. It's been posted a few places that she has bipolar and hypersexuality is a common component. Maybe in college her behavior was normalized. Later, untreated bipolar combined with porn and sex addiction and is more about acting out and about one not being able to be in a stable marriage because of that. Per the DM she also brought a sex partner to the marital home when young kids were present. Likely less about the husband and more about her illness. She may also be acting out csa, hypersexuality and repetition compulsion can be components for some.

She’s 45 so I doubt he would be that old. I’m 50 and my dad is 74.

I believe he is 75 or 76. Went to school with Eleanor & Eppa and I recall their dad being close to my parents' age. Definitely not 80.

If I click that link my phone tells me it’s blocked…can you summarize what it says?

That quote was the only thing that I spotted as new. Someone else may have seen other new details but I did not.

I see. So it doesn’t say what EHH actually said/did to try to “smear her family”?

From the article

"Records show that Eleanor also tried to smear her family in an unsuccessful attempt to secure her pretrial release from the District of Columbia Detention Center.

She was charged with distribution of child pornography, seduction of a minor and attempted transportation of a minor with an attempt to engage in sexual acts.

Eleanor has pleaded not guilty and faces at least 15 years in prison if convicted."

The family clearly sees her as a liability and likely want her in jail which is where she belongs.

Thanks. But that doesn’t say what she actually did or said. To me “smear the family” implies that she accused her family members of something. The quote you posted above doesn’t give any details about how she tried to “smear” her family.

I know. I didn't claim to know what she actually said. I simply gave the article and quote.

The "usa.topnews.media" article, where it states she tried to smear her family, is most likely incorrect & clickbait (my assumption since you cannot revisit it after you have read it). At the bottom, there is a "source link" which clicks out to the NY Post article, which states, "Records show Eleanor also tried to levy her family’s reputation in a failed bid to win her pretrial release from the DC Central Detention Facility."

usa.topnews.media: "Records show that Eleanor also tried to smear her family in an unsuccessful attempt to secure her pretrial release from the District of Columbia Detention Center."

vs

NY Post: "Records show Eleanor also tried to levy her family’s reputation in a failed bid to win her pretrial release from the DC Central Detention Facility."

Probably just me, but does anyone else find it ironic that she was arrested in Warrenton, Va, which happens to be the same town where her great-grandfather, Eppa III (aka Eppa Hunton Jr.), who started Hunton & Williams, grew up??? Warrenton is not that large of a town.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eppa_Hunton_Jr.

"After the war, Hunton and his family moved to Warrenton, Virginia, where he attended private boarding schools."

Yep the father is still practicing law.

Lucky for her with her expensive and extensive legal troubles. This story is horrifying and surreal. Thanks to the early poster who mentioned elite deviance. My heart breaks for the many kids she has been in contact with who may have been harmed. Thank God she was caught and the case seems strong.

A 41 year old married woman with 2 kids and a St. Catherine's and UVA grad whose husband is a judge having public sex while undressed in a park in the afternoon?! That is very extreme behavior.!

Of course it’s extreme, but it’s only a sign that she’s sexually adventurous, which isn’t a mental health issue. It’s not a sign that she wants to have sex with children.

"Sexually adventurous" 🙄 is a pathetic understatement of what occurred.

Any anecdotes about what the family was like? Mom seems a bit of a cypher?

[Anonymous]

I don’t want to let her off the hook, but she sounds like someone who was molested as a child. Add that to the possibility that she it bipolar, etc. and it makes more sense.

[Anonymous]

Word around Richmond is that the ex husband pretty much had sole custody with her having supervised visitation before all this.

If you see the info in the daily Mail article, it details the divorce and the part re the ex requesting copies of emails, photos, attachments and texts she would have sent to other people suggest he must have been suspicious of her activities back then.

[Anonymous]

Per the DM she was soliciting men and women for sex while married and brought someone to the marital home for sex when the young kids were home.

I hope the supervised visitation is true but the order says otherwise and was not modified. Plus, they were school age by the time of the split. She was around so many kids, fiends of her kids, kids of her friends, through work, volunteering, etc.

Her claiming she should be released pre-trial because of restless leg syndrome was almost funny, so much privilege and such a sense of entitlement.
