In response again to Tracy
Terhune's latest post on that blog he runs under the title of my book
Affairs Valentino to deceive and divert my web traffic, I say first
of all I will not be bullied into silence and I was and am again here
responding to unthinkable levels of abuse by him and his minions.
Unthinkable.
I wrote a book he did not
like and have had to endure a decade of his wrath and bullying. I do
not have any aliases and do not “lurk” on Facebook groups. I have
supporters who send things to me when they feel it deserves my
response. This was how I learned about Eleanor Gribbin informing someone not to buy
Affairs Valentino because it was the “workings of a mad woman”.
There are many intelligent folks who appreciate Valentino who support
our work. So I am “not alone” as Tracy Terhune so wishes I were.
Far from it. In fact, I am less “alone” almost every day now and
that makes me very pleased indeed.
There is little to respond
to in Terhune's latest screed and continued attempts to bury my
book... because the over riding issue which can not be ignored..is
the incredible hypocrisy he demonstrates in posting on that blog at
all. I am being accused of hate speech and bullying by someone who is
posting this on a blog which, since its inception 8 years ago, has
been Tracy Terhune's personal and deceitful effort to divert my web
traffic and threaten me with images of Satan, pigs, toilets, etc. while
providing a platform for someone who was found guilty in a court of
law of defaming me. This is incredible hypocrisy.
I will never be bullied
into silence and until my dying breath I will stand up proudly to
defend myself and my work and my loved ones. My response is just that
and I was responding to be called a “mad woman” again and to the
very public action to lie about me to impede my right to conduct a
fair business.
I do not write hate
speech, I do not attack these people's family members, I do not run
blogs under their book's titles.
These are the tactics of
Tracy Terhune who again has posted on his bully pulpit blog under
my book's title.... to accuse me of exactly what he is doing and tell the world once again I am someone I am not and
never have been and say I should be “canceled”. Who does he think he is... he is not the King of Valentino... So yes, I
respond. I respond again and again and I will continue to do so.
I wonder if Eleanor
Gribbin knows what it feels like for me to have had my very hard and
honest work desecrated by sniggering liars who feel it is some kind
of satisfying blood sport to write extremely offensive, false and
often sexual and death-laden posts about me, my friends and my family
members for over a decade.
I wonder if she knows,
that in telling someone inquiring about my book Affairs Valentino,
that it is “..the workings of a mad woman..” that she is now
supporting those who I consider some of the most homophobic,
misogynistic and cruel people on earth. I wonder if Eleanor Gribbin
knows the pain of having to endure this kind of torture from those
very people she appears to parrot.
Does she know what it was
like for me and my loved ones to have to endure all those images of
sexual and perverted scenarios which are still spread everywhere
online about me... and most sadistically all of those hateful posts
demeaning and insulting me personally, contorting my identity and the
identity of my Rudolph Valentino biography...on a blog under the
title of Affairs Valentino which is run by Tracy Terhune?
I read once that a
defining aspect of a cult is the leader's control of literature. Cult
leader's do not want their followers reading what they consider
subversive literature which might undermine their authority and
control. At all costs, this literature exposing them must be
destroyed. Books get burned as they have done with ours.
If the cult leaders and
their minions did not fear Affairs Valentino's powerful truth so very
much, they would not be telling people lies about me or the book for
a decade to prevent them from reading it. And yes they have been
trying to stop Affairs Valentino for eleven years and counting. All
of those folders Terhune shows on his bully blog which he likes to
claim are full of my “hate speech”? They are just more of the
same things I am writing here today and proof of just how long this
has been going on. Those folders are full of my defense and my effort
to salvage some truth about myself and Affairs Valentino.
In repeating the cult
mantra that I am “a mad woman”, Eleanor Gribbin dove head first
into the roiling vat of ten year's worth of putrifying, misogynistic,
homophobic, sadistic, voyeuristic, violating and hateful posts made
about me and Affairs Valentino and my husband... all made by her
counter parts on a blog which I closed out of fear hoping they would
all go away. She might think it is amusing to lie like she did, but I
do not.
In light of the fact that
most of the people who these sadists have targeted, were and still
are women, it saddens me that any woman would have a thing to do with
their endless misogyny.
I am a proud wife, mother,
grandmother and I am proud of Affairs Valentino, I certainly am. And
I am proud of my defense of myself no matter how wretchedly Tracy
Terhune attempts to contort my words and responses into something
they clearly are not.
Quite frankly, Tracy
Terhune can not be credible at all while posting on that blog. That
is pretty obvious.
