Why didn't she say something at the time instead of waiting until he was married and expecting a child? I find that interesting, now he is being punished before the facts are even known.
@RetRN Because she’s a psychotic, vindictive jerk who is incapable of taking responsibility for her own behavior during a bad relationship.
And you know this how?
@RainCityWoman I “know this how,” because I read her article, and I see numerous red flags which lead me to this conclusion.
First, this woman already had established psychological problems. She was anorexic, therefore not a healthy, stable young woman.
Second, she paints a picture of being a prisoner who wasn’t allowed to leave her apartment at night, talk to others in public, or have pictures of other men in her apartment. HER apartment? It seems like she wasn’t chained to a bed in his home. She was in HER home where she eventually started pulling her own hair out of her own head. He didn’t do that. “I did what he said. Including LET him sexually assault me.” She didn’t say, “He raped me,” she said “I let him.” “I made the CHOICE to accept his behavior,” she said. Very interesting choice of words.
Finally, they were together for 3 years. Not a nightmarish 6 months, but 3 whole years. When she met another man and told Hardwick she was leaving him, what do you think happened? Did he beat her, rape her, or threaten her? No. He begged her to stay with him and told her he was about to propose. She claims that following the relationship, he and another woman in show business tried to have her blacklisted to destroy her career. She provides no evidence - no name of the woman who attempted to help Hardwick destroy her, and no name of a colleague or friend who could verify this was happening to her.
I believe he was probably controlling, but only to an extent which was not abusive. She was ill throughout the relationship and based how she chooses her words and describes having suicidal thoughts, I believe she has gotten worse. What I took away from the article was that she is a sick person who convinced herself that she had to do much of the things she did in order to make him happy, but that he was not insistent on most of what she claims he made her do. I don’t believe the fact that she refuses to name him in the article is out of cowardice or refusal to name her abuser to give him any more of her time. I believe it’s because she knows he may be able to provide evidence to prove that she’s lying. And if he does come up with evidence or witnesses, he won’t be able to sue her. She can say whatever she wants, because she didn’t say it was him.
This is my personal opinion based on what I read.
