[quote=Anonymous]Oof this just gets worse and worse. Apparently Aham has been in the comments on a bunch of Substacks talking about the book and just bullying people and being a jerk.

And then, all three of them (Lindy, Roya, and Aham) all wrote to the Scaachi Koul, who wrote a profile of Lindy around the release of this memoir. Here's the profile, I think it's empathetic and perfectly fair: https://slate.com/life/2026/03/lindy-west-polyamory-open-marriage-husband-roya.html

Lindy's and Roya's messages were critical but not aggressive. They clearly didn't like the profile and expressed that opinion, but in a fairly respectful way. But here's Aham's message:

[quote]This was such a s***** thing to do, Scaachi. You intentionally skewed the story to fit your own bitter narrative. You wasted my time and all of our time to write an article that was going to be the same no matter what we said. You absolutely dehumanized me and intentionally diminished my personhood and career. Roya and I were on a shared project in Boston. However you worded it. I was performing four shows at the Paramount and Roya is my producer. I am a person with a life and a great career and a complicated life. And you boiled me down to a cheater who was on a school project making a diorama or some s*** because you are mad about your life. You barely wrote about the book. You just wrote rage bait articles specifically designed to direct hate toward me. You are a s***** f****** person. You’re a bitter, untalented, mean girl and you should be absolutely ashamed of yourself. You f****** suck.[/quote]

Does that make everyone much more sympathetic to Aham and understanding as to why Lindy has chosen to stay in this marriage? He seems like a GREAT guy. Totally worth completely destroying all of you dreams for what a loving and respectful relationship looks like for.[/quote]
