It is True

One more receipt from the files - proving the cult's censorship, defamation and attempted erasure of our work and personal integrities. More about Valentino's vision in the link to our podcast below.

I Never Forget

I did not fade away. We kept the receipts. For a very long time they have accused me of doing precisely what they were and are doing. 100% The comment I shared below from someone reading this blog is correct. Shameful is the word. A few of the receipts from the thousands. For the record, Trt... I have never used any other identity but my own, have never been arrested, never had a warrant out on me and do not commit fraud...i.e. as in running a blog under someone else's book title with the motive to defame the author. I have been blamed for years on end for my honest reactions to this shameful behavior. 
Fiat Justitia Ruat Caelum.

Renato's Quiet Archive of Truth

 My beloved Renato spent years shielding me from the worst of the poison hurled our way — especially the bile spewed on a blog which brazenly uses my book’s title, Affairs Valentino, and is run by Tracy Ryan Terhune. I still remember his opening post, posing as me writing, “My Book, Affairs Valentino is Pure Fiction.”

Today, I opened an oddly titled folder on Renato’s hard drive — catture schermo (“screen captures” in Italian) — and found it overflowing with screenshots from Terhune's Affairs Valentino blog which I had never seen. Every one of them documented Terhune’s smear posts, meticulously saved.

I’ve long ago told the story of how David Bret extorted me into closing my original Affairs Valentino blog in 2011, threatening to open blogs in my family members’ names. Terhune seized that moment, promising to run a blog under the title of my book, “for the good” — but these screenshots show what he was really doing: running a dedicated hit site for his campaign to destroy me.

The flood of insults and lies upon lies number in the hundreds. In his comment section, he provides a platform for David Bret to violate a court order and run rampant. I scrolled through Renato's, “catture schermo” file, in slideshow mode, barely able to keep up with the sheer volume of attacks. And there, in living color I found the ultimate proof of their obsession with my book and with me personally.

Renato quietly collected it all, sharing some but never telling me the full scope. I realize now what a testament that was to his love for me — protecting me from the worst of it. But now I have it, every word, every fabrication, every grotesque twist of the actual truth.

Terhune has spent years gaslighting his audience into believing my responses were “unprovoked.” These screenshots prove otherwise. My god — they were provoked. Over and over and over.

In my opinion, after witnessing years of his documented malice conducted under my book’s title, it is a disgrace that this man plays any role in the public remembrance of Rudolph Valentino. He went too far. We had every right to defend ourselves. We courageously did. I still do. And now, thanks to Renato, the record will remain.

Below: Renato, preserving the record with steadfast love and vigilance.

On the Censorship of Our Work

The truth is not subjective when supported by documentation and facts. For fourteen years Renato and I shared a treasure trove of documentation to prove facts about the subject of Rudolph Valentino, Natacha Rambova, S. George Ullman, Frank Mennillo, Robert Florey, etc.

But the Valentino “mainstream” as they like to call themselves plugged their ears. And they went even farther to deny the truth be told. (banning even the mention of us on their two Facebook groups, Mad About the Boy and We Never Forget)

They censored, they lied and basically they panicked. In their continued efforts to silence us, we were portrayed as lunatics, criminals who forged documents, dottering senior citizens and described precisely how this hysterical “mainstream” behaved and behaves themselves. Renato and I were anything but. We were working hard every day, sharp as tacks, full of energy and inspired to find honest answers to our many questions... which we did!

Fortunately there are many in the world of Valentino who have questioning minds, who read our books for themselves, checked our citations, listened to our podcasts and learned some truth along the way. To them I say bravo, you are heroes!....again and again.

To those who decided it was not such a big deal and better to suck up to the “mainstreamers”? I say wake up. Your complicity is sad and embarassing. By supporting them, you support their behavior which has been proven by them year after year to be deplorable.

To censor, to shun, to taunt and harass is to bully. This is what they do. They are bullies by definition despite their ridiculous shrieking to the contrary. Their peep, peep, peepings that they are the victims is pathetic. "Mainstreamers"? I call them bullies, censors and liars. 

I assure them no matter how distraught I am now as I grieve the loss of my great love, it will be for him that I will seek and have justice... “Fiat, Justitia Ruat Caelum” ! Below, Renato in 2014 when we visited Matera.
