Joe Lonsdale is worth a heck of a lot more than a Vienna anesthesiologist.


Bigger stakes these days. Read that a lot of Tiger moms wanted more than the run of the mill lawyer, doctor, IB DH for their DDs after Zuckerberg married his Asian GF.


Ellie got her pay off, but I guess she wants more ...


And what payoff did she get from this fiasco? She wasn't paid off and now her name has been dragged through the mud in a NY times magazine article. Doesn't seem worth it to me.


The civil suit will almost certainly end in a settlement. But she is clearly someone who gets off on feeling victimized and attention for that, so she is getting that payoff, too.

She went to Rome with him and shared a bed. It's a bit much to be claiming rape.

She went to TJ, graduated with over a 4.0, got into Stanford, got a degree even though she had at least two extended absences from college, and is now at a graduate program at U. Va.

She clearly has brains and good grades. What she doesn't have yet is any clear sense of self or identity, which is why she is repeatedly manipulated by those around her, including her mother, into being whatever she thinks they want her to be, whether it's a girlfriend, potential trophy wife, or a victim. It's sad, and every helicopter parent who has enough self-awareness to recognize that they sometimes treat their own children as extensions of themselves ought to view this as a wake-up call.


Did she get into Stanford because she was from TJ, had a good GPA but also because she is white, female and had unusual ECs coming from TJ?

She did end up at Stanford, so I think her grades were probably fine.

Cindy Crawford started out as a catalog model in high school.

I think he took advantage of a weak girl with an unformed personality. That isn't nice, but not a crime.

I think she is bonkers, as is her mom.

I hope that Joe finds a better mother-daughter gold-digging team next time...

She was a teen model. Not a good age to be working in a profession based on looks.
