Okay, we already know what you’re thinking: “Which one?” And you would be right. There are so many, it’s hard to keep track of them all. So, Kat, the infamous blogger (and one of our Biggest Offenders) whose known for twisting the truth, giving half the story, and even telling blatant lies just to smear other people’s reputations, has done it again.
(Note: we want to apologize. We’ve been meaning to post about this for a while. We just didn’t have the time. We’re really sorry!)
Now, if any of you haven’t already noticed, Kat’s changed her Buzz Worthy News, Scandalous Scandals posts to what is now called Controversy or Controversies. And not surprisingly, here are a couple examples (links) where you can see her smearing authors we know, who’ve been victims of the GR bullies abuse in the past: and . You have to scroll down a bit to read her smear campaign, but trust us, it’s there. What’s interesting is what Kat says in regards to the headache Amazon’s erroneous email gave Jamie McGuire:
You see, they were reveling in Jamie’s misery when all of this happened. And why do they hate her so much? Because she succeeded despite them. She was one of the authors who was viciously attacked last year and yet her book still became a huge success. Quite a slap in the face for the bullies. Kudos to Jamie.
For more information, read Beautiful Blunder: Dear Author Strikes Again!
Anyhow, moving on to we wanted to address this time. This one was regarding Eve Thomas and what happened to her back in May. Here is Kat’s version of the story (try not to vomit):
Kat’s right about only one thing here. They do need to leave Eve alone. And Darkwriter is John G., another well-known bully.
Now, if you read Kat’s entire post (and this is not the entire post), it makes it sound like some unknown reviewer, who has no history with Eve whatsoever, gave the book a bad review and Eve suddenly, out of nowhere, freaked out and contacted the police.
Doesn’t it make it sound like that? And we all know that this is not the case.
What Kat fails to mention is that that review came from a person (Coaxial or All Hail Grimlock, a bookseller whose real name is Shoshana B.) who has been part of a gang (Angela and company) who have been harassing Eve for months. There is a whole history there (of the attacks on Eve by these people) that Kat just conveniently ignores.
You see, everyone, it all started back in February when Eve tried to apologize for promoting her book on GR and was attacked for her apology. Then Coaxial threatened to leave scathing reviews of her books without even reading them. The bullies didn’t stop there. They crossed the line when they contacted Eve’s charity to try and discredit her and then later began leaving all kinds of psychotic comments on her book page.
So, if Eve went a little crazy this time and freaked out, it was because of this. It was because these bullies isolated her, cornered her, made her feel paranoid and alone, like an animal caught in a trap, being harried by its captors (just like what Kat did to Rebecca Hamilton and so many others).
So, what did Eve do? She lashed out. Then, the GR bullies (with their weapons of choice: the GR fora and their blogs) jumped in with another character assassination saying:
Oh, look, everyone! This author freaked out over a bad review and contacted the police. How crazy is that?!
We’ve seen this kind of thing happen to so many people. It happens far too often and we’re getting sick of it.
Furthermore, Kat makes it sound from the GR email above that Eve was warned several times in the past before her account was deleted. We know for a fact that she wasn’t and that her account being deleted from GR came totally from left field and had everything to do with what went down with Angela and the Asshat group. It happened at the exact same time and Angela, being as paranoid as she is, was convinced Eve was behind the info leak that led to her conversation being posted in Asshats Will Be Asshats. The fact is, Eve had NOTHING to do with that, but Angela was convinced it was her. THIS is why Eve’s account was removed. (For more information, see our posts Asshats Will Be Asshats and Something Rotten at the Core of GR). So, you see, there was something very dirty with what went down that week and it wasn’t because of Eve’s behavior.
Now, we haven’t researched into the . For all we know, this could be true or it could be completely fabricated. In any case, it is irrelevant to what happened to her months ago and what happened to her just recently in May. As far as the book itself is concerned, we won’t make any comment simply due to lack of knowledge, but we will say that how she was treated was wrong and unjust. It makes us wonder, when all of this was going down, how come none of these self-righteous people (who think so highly of themselves and their “high morals”, i.e. Kat, ., etc.) reached out to Eve with love to try and understand why she was melting down? If these people are really the good, pious people they think they are, how come they didn’t stop to help another human being who was obviously going through a crisis?
We’ll tell you why. Because they are bullies. Plain and simple.
« Happy Anniversary, STGRB! Author Hatred Growing at an Alarming Rate »
The reason none of them reached out to her to help is because they are all a bunch of self-righteous assholes! I’m sick of the lot of them!
This is horrible. Kat really is one of the worst when it comes to lies and twisting things. Never seen a bigger manipulator in my life. It’s scary how manipulative that lady is. I use the term lady loosely.
It blows me away that Kat is actually proud of her behavior. I wonder how she would act if she were face to face with the people she torments. I bet she would act differently. I bet all of them would.
She sounds like a stone-cold sociopath.
Of course she’d act differently. Her bravery is a consequence of screen cover, no more, no less.
Kat is riding the waves again! When she was at the height of her craze, she was screaming left and right she was writing a book, and that it was going to be better than any of the books she’s been trashing. I guess we’re still waiting on that book…
If I were you guys, I’d add her to “Scary. Run. Fast.” as she’s as nasty as both Angely, Ann, and Ridley. She might be working more in the background that the others, but she’s just as scary.
We’ll give that some thought. She is definitely one of the worst vipers in the book community.
And yeah, I wonder what did happen to her so called book. Still waitin’ on that one.
She underestimates how much publishers and agents watch online behavior. Any publisher or agent worth his/her salt would never publish Kat due to her online actions and insanity. So unless she self-publishes (joining the ranks of those she despises), that means she’s relegated to being a . . . mere blogger. Yep, the authors she lambastes write BOOKS. She writes . . . hateful blog posts with negligible followers. She will never be anything but mediocre. Those are always the types to scream the loudest for attention.
It’s what I’ve been thinking all along. That there is no way a publisher would touch her with a ten foot pole! I guess she figured that out somewhere along the way, and it’s made her even more bitter.
Like all of the bullies, Kat is a coward. She’ll never publish a book.
Ya’all took the words right out of my mouth. No publisher in their right mind would even go near Kat. She’s created such a bad reputation for herself. Too bad she has such disdain for self-publishing because that’s the only alternative for her.
As for trad and indie publishing, I’ve done both and there are advantages and disadvantages to both. Self-publishing isn’t any worse or better than traditional publishing. Both are hard and just because someone is self-published doesn’t mean their books are crap. This is an unfair bias that trad-loving people like Kat have propagated throughout the publishing industry.
Thank God it’s changing.
I love reading self pubbed books. You never know what kind of gem you’ll end up finding there! Of course there a lot of bad books in self pubbing, but trad pubbing pushes out a lot of crap as well.
Hahaha! Which one? That’s exactly what I was thinking! She’s so full of horseshit, all the crap that comes from her small mind soils every single post she writes. That’s what I think of whenever I read her posts. Horseshit. I almost threw up reading it.
There’s a saying: “When someone tells you who they are, believe them.” In Kat’s case, she outright states that she and her cohorts are “sadistic bastards.” Well, yep, they are. We fully agree. They’re more than bullies. They’re sadistic, vicious haters who spend their valuable and limited time on earth spreading negativity, pain, and hate. What a lovely way to spend one’s time. What a lovely contribution to the world. NOT!
Kat with that pronounced under-bite and hideous black soul… enough to give any person nightmares.
I was looking into the post written by Jenny Trout and she links to this article:
http://everydayvictimblaming.com/submissions/onevoice-how-helping-survivors-must-mean-listening/
When I read the screenshots, the impression I got was that Eve was trying to help this woman and the woman back stabbed her. Then, if you scroll down, you’ll see all the commenters on it are well-known trolls. I smell something rotten here. It’s almost as if they set her up.
Yep, I said that at the time. It really looks as if that woman set Eve up. I read through those Twitter comments and at no stage did I notice Eve saying a thing wrong. There was something very strange about the woman talking to Eve on Twitter. Something very very strange. Plus all of the conversation wasn’t shown, just parts of it.
Anyway why would any woman want to hold a private conversation on Twitter? The woman said she was living in fear of her ex and yet she was plastering it all on Twitter. A victim of domestic violence would never have a conversation like that on Twitter, no way! Eve kept trying to protected the woman’s privacy by asking her to talk through e-mail instead of Twitter, but the woman wanted to have the conversation in public. I have always thought the whole thing was a set up.
The bullies make Eve out to be a nasty villain. Yet, I have never seen Eve being anything but nice to everyone including the bullies. Even when the bullies attacked her on Goodreads she kept calm, she tried to reach out to the bullies. When Eve realized that the bullies weren’t going to leave her alone she just went quiet and left them to it.
Eve was never anything but pleasant and fair.
That’s exactly what I was thinking. A DV victim isn’t going to have a public twitter convo about it, let alone plaster the conversation on a blog giving it more attention. That would never happen. This was a set up. These jerks did a nasty smear job on Eve. All of us here are really sorry we couldn’t cover this whole episode sooner.
Johnny – the impression that I got is that Eve could see through this woman and was backing her into a corner. The woman was soliciting funds to get a divorce from a relationship that ended 2 years earlier and had no interest in free assistance. If you ask me, the woman is a fraud and Eve knew that. If Eve did not know the woman is a fraud, then yes, she was overstepping.
The woman’s story as to why she needed funds makes no sense and if by chance it were true, why doesn’t she get a job to pay the solicitor since her boyfriend’s income supports them fine? Lots of fraud online…
I think you’re right. I think this woman was up to something no good.
We just heard from a reliable source that the woman asking for money was lying. Eve saw right through her. You were right Anonymous.
We also found out that Linda Hilton and Mahala were contacting the survivors and trying to get them to severe ties with Eve. This is so wrong. Something should be done about it.
Yes, I experience this sort of thing on occasion and more of it recently than usual. It’s obvious the woman was attempting to game Eve and Eve was playing back. I always play back too and sometimes surprise my abusers.
Why these people have pursued Eve as they have is in question. What type of person harasses the person attempting to help domestic violence victims?
That’s a good question. A person who is either bent on revenge and doesn’t care who they hurt or someone who thinks that what they’re doing is the right thing, even though it’s totally twisted.
*sighs* Every time I read about Kat’s escapades, I keep hearing my big brother’s Run DMC albums:
“You talk about people you don’t even know
Talk about places you never go
Talk about your girl from head to toe
I said your mouth’s movin’ fast and your brain’s movin’ slow…
You talk too much
You never shut up
I said you talk too much
Homeboy you NEVER SHUT UP…”
Hey gyruleine! Long time, no see.
STGRB said: “You see, they were reveling in Jamie’s misery when all of this happened. And why do they hate her so much? Because she succeeded despite them.”
Yes, it goes back to jealousy! All they want to do is lie, lie, lie, deny, deny, deny, cuz they’ll never, ever admit to themselves-or anyone else-how absolutely green with envy they are.
That is mostly their real issue, is their all-consuming, raging jealousy. That’s why they can’t stop doing the things they do.
I don’t lie to myself, so yes, I get jealous of huge successes too, but I’d never make anyone’s life miserable because of it, because my jealousy doesn’t cross the line into pure insanity. At the same time, and I know this is a contradiction, I am honestly happy for self-published authors’ successes. BUT I’m normal like everyone else, and sometimes get envious. It’s not a big deal, really.
Funny how the first thing bullies say when they’re accused of bullying authors, they always say “oh yeahhhh we’re jus’ jellus of indie authors and their bad writing!!!111”.
At least they’re finally admitting it. 😆
I feel sorry for Stacia [not really]. Scores of indie books are outselling hers by a looooong shot.
Whenever I read things like this I always return to one question: who the hell put Kat in charge…or others like her…and who the hell gave her the authority to open her big mouth and slam someone else?
It’s too bad Kat’s heart isn’t as big as her chin. And that woman is all chin…Jay Leno with long dark hair.
Hi everyone I’m actually a very good friend of Eve’s and last night they totally backed her into a corner. A woman named Tina York who claims to be an advocate of DV attacked poor Eve in the vilest of ways, she too has joined in with Mahala, Coaxial and co.
she actually blamed Eve for the sexual assault and said why doesn’t she just move house!
I was so proud of Eve she actually defended herself for the first time but do you know what is really sad, she pushed her so much that Eve ended up having to disclose some of the horrific abuse she went through.
Eve has had a terrible life yet she’s such an amazingly strong woman and despite the bullies she’s always tried to ignore it but yesterday I saw my dear friend break down and having to tell the whole world on twitter how she was repeatedly raped, beaten and even set on fire, these bullies, these women are evil and cruel.
Eve has fought hard to change her life around, she’s fought hard to protect her girls and will always feel guilty as she feels she let them down.
She’s doing marvellous work and do you know something she doesn’t get paid a penny her only wish is that no one else has to go through the horrors she has.
On her first NYE out as a free woman she was sexually assaulted by another friends husband and what has followed is terrible, her supposed friend betrayed her, gave her new phone number to her ex husband and what followed was a nightmare for Eve and her children but do you know what Eve did, she didn’t scream and shout or attack she simply walked away with her head held high and tried to put it behind her. Now the courts here in England are demanding Eve give this woman and her abusive husband her phone number and despite Eve breaking down in court, suffering angina attacks and vomiting she’s been held in contempt of court for not providing her number, my dear dear friend is now facing committal proceedings.
These women and I use that term very loosely are cruel, evil bullies and voicelessnomore has now taken this too far. Victim blaming is very, very wrong and to back Eve into a corner this way is frankly deplorable.
I don’t know whether you’ve noticed but another author, a children’s author named Emma Tofi who wrote a children’s book on bullying of all things has joined in the attack, the GR bullies got to her too and she has attacked Eve also as well as start a hate campaign on Eve’s supporters. Eve has been advised to pursue criminal proceedings but do you know what she refuses and the answer to why she refuses is because these people were once victims themselves. Emma Tofi hates E L James and she’s angry that Eve has made the national papers here in England and has been on TV why you may ask because her story in the nationals was axed! Emma is also writing a book and wanted to call it Fifty Shades Of Abuse, are you all getting the bigger picture????
It boils down to one thing, jealousy because Eve has had an amazing idea that is helping so many people and charities around the world.
The bullies slag this site off because you name and shame them and speak the truth.
Eve doesn’t know I’m writing this but I had to because I’m sick of these bullies and there treatment of Eve.
Anyone who meets Eve will smile, she’s a tiny woman with a very big heart who has been through so much but yet is so warm and friendly you can’t help but love her.
Bullies if you are reading this it’s time to find a new victim, none of you know her and voicelessnomore and Emma Tofi are both ignorant, uneducated and two of the vilest women I have ever come across. Voicelessnomore has even admitted she has zero qualifications to deal with DV victims.
It’s very sad but if you need any more information please get in touch, I won’t keep my mouth shut!
Thank you for allowing me to post this and thank you for your support to my wonderful strong and very brave friend.
What’re the court’s reasons for wanting her to give her number over? They must have some reason to go as far as holding her in contempt.
The part that does not make sense here is the statement about the court intending to hold Eve in contempt for not giving her telephone number. No doubt that courts are different in the UK than here, but why couldn’t she give a number specifically for that purpose. Like here we sign-up for Google Voice to get a free phone number – don’t they have Voice in the UK? Or why not get a cellphone number for that purpose?
Please feel free to explain.
I don’t want to tell anybody what to do, but I really think that Eve should pursue criminal proceedings if she has sufficient grounds. It doesn’t matter if these people were once victims themselves, that’s like excusing an abuser by saying he was abused as a child. It only allows him to continue with the abuse, and eventually harm others. Because these bullies aren’t going to stop UNLESS someone makes them.
This is a blog Emma Tofi wrote and her side kick Natalie, these are the women who loathe EL James yet voicelessnomore blames Eve.

Jealousy that one word sums it up.
http://everydayvictimblaming.com/submissions/onevoice-how-helping-survivors-must-mean-listening/
This is actually hilarious. A site that has been created to stop victim blaming does just that!
Someone needs to tell this woman about this site:
Thread: Bullies on Goodreads
Yes, I’m sure that author would enjoy reading STGRB. At least she would learn more about the bullies and their bully tactics. It might also help her to read about what to do when the bullies target you.
I’m not sure if its such a good idea to post a link to her thread though. We all know how the bullies love to read STGRB, their never off this blog. If they see the authors thread it will just make them worse. Although in saying that I reckon the bullies will see the authors thread either way. We all know how the bullies work. They really plan their attacks. They bait the author. Then they stalk the author and wait for the author to react. Then once the author reacts the bully and the bullies gang normally attack brute force. Its the same every time. The bullies are a nasty lot.
I hope this author is OK. The cheek of that bully using those disgraceful shelf names on a children’s book. Children are going to have to read that foul language. The bullies just don’t care about anyone. Vile nasty creatures.
I seem to have created a little bit of upset with my very truthful post about the vile Tofi and Tina, Twitter went mental last night. Everything I said is the truth and it was most entertaining watching voicelessnomore and Emma accusing different people thinking they had wrote my comments. A little tip so you stop blaming others ladies I don’t use twitter I merely observe and boy have I been observing you two along with your very small group of trolls.
Now I suggest you all think very carefully because you really don’t know who I am but let’s just say I am watching.
For anyone visiting this site please know this site was set up because bullies have destroyed too many careers in their needless but cruel pursuit of others, Eve is not their first victim. This site has been thoroughly checked out and monitored also and we see no problems at all. Yes they name and shame but good on you STGRB for doing this.
Thank you for allowing me to post here. Eve is safe and very well protected and we thank you for covering this for her.
Eve is going through a bad time at the moment and the police are heavily involved with a sexually assault case. Eve was held in contempt of court because she refused to give her number to someone who’s very friendly with her ex husband. She told the court she would willingly supply them with her number but it had to remain confidential. Her ex friend had already given Eve’s number to her x on a previous occasion and Eve had death threats, silent calls etc. Eve is a very honest woman and because she had sworn on the bible she wouldn’t give a false number and so was held in contempt and is now facing committal proceedings.
I want to thank you for supporting Eve she’s been through and is still going through a lot and I for one don’t know how she does it and this is why I had to comment on this so everyone can see the full extent of what she and her girls are having to endure.
The bullies, Tina voicelessnomore and Emma as well as End Victim Blaming need to leave her alone and have empathy for another human being. To blame Eve for the assault and say “why doesn’t she just move” is very wrong as is targeting a woman who only wants to help others.
I know you all will read this and I’m begging you please leave her alone now because you may all push that little bit too far and yes she’s strong but she’s also distraught at having to disclose.
Please leave her in peace now.
Hmmm… offering a straw man response doesn’t answer my real question Theresa Bell and to be clear, it leaves me doubting the entire story. So I’ll repeat the question for you… You claim Eve was charged with contempt for refusing to give the court a telephone number that would be shared with her ex… so why not use a specific number that only the court would be given? A Google Voice # or a cellphone # ??? Eve does not need to give the court and her ex the number she gives her friends. Besides, if there are children involved, they must be able to have contact with the father.
While I understand there are differences in UK and US law, your posts have too many holes and you’re not making much sense. If you’re seeking support, truth and honesty is important. If not, then why bother with the lengthy drama-filled posts?
Perhaps Eve had a good reason for what she did. We can ask her directly.
What other loopholes did you see in Theresa’s story, Anonymous?
Hi Athena – hope that all is well with you!
Well, for me that is a serious issue. To state that Eve was charged with contempt because she refused to offer a telephone number to the court is serious, but I think we all know that a person can have many telephone numbers, so why not have one specifically for the court and ex? Simple stuff there… you just answer it in the day and turn it off at 5pm when the court is closed. It’s not about giving a “false number” as Theresa Bell stated and that is a straw man response. I state this as one that has a total of 8 telephone numbers and each has its purpose.
But the other issue for me was what I view as an attempt to keep the ex from contact with the child / children. In the US, that ain’t happenin’. No clue about the UK.
I dealt with my own DV problem for a few years and the story had many twists and turns. Nothing I’d tell here, even anonymously, so I’m real familiar with the landscape. I have also dealt with many that had BS stories and I’m not easily fooled. While I’d love to feel empathy, we need to get beyond the questionable statements for that to happen. I’m also not a big fan of the ‘buy my book’ for $9.99 and all money goes to a questionable charity’ strategy. Here in the US, we have lots of fraud with charities. Check out this recent article:
http://cironline.org/americasworstcharities
Overall my main question that resulted in doubt of the entire story is the one that Ms. Bell chose to give the straw man response to. Who said anything about a fake telephone number? Hmmm…
But then there was also the attempt by another Eve friend to get us all to click on that Trout woman’s blog post by reporting it as abuse to Google. Really? Imagine if the entire gang made such attempts on this site – and they may have, but they didn’t succeed. Thank goodness. If you believe in free speech, you accept that your adversaries have the same. That is the issue I hate with GR – they actually believe that an author has no right to respond to attacks. I’m better than they are. I am a firm believer in the right of response. The Trout woman’s post wasn’t even that strong.
What I do believe is that Eve knew the Twitter person claiming to be a DV victim and soliciting funds on that site was a game and acted accordingly. What I wonder is what happens to the $ the woman raised for her alleged cause – because I did not buy her divorce saga anymore than I buy Ms. Bell’s story of a contempt charge for Eve over a telephone number.
I see what you’re saying. I will ask Eve directly what happened regarding the phone number. I’m sure she had a good reason. When I asked her about the woman soliciting funds, she told me exactly what you said – that she saw right through the woman and was backing her into a corner.
But then there was also the attempt by another Eve friend to get us all to click on that Trout woman’s blog post by reporting it as abuse to Google. Really? Imagine if the entire gang made such attempts on this site – and they may have, but they didn’t succeed. Thank goodness.
They tried really hard to get us shut down the first six months. It didn’t work. What makes me angry about it is that these people have learned this kind of behavior from Goodreads, thinking they have the right to freedom of speech and others don’t (in particular, authors.) I think the reason these people behave the way they do is largely because GR lets them and in their minds, if GR lets them, then it must be okay, right? We noticed this when Minerva (in Minerva Gets Burned) was so shocked when Wikipedia scolded her for trying to libel an author on the author’s Wikipedia page. We told her she would get in trouble and she didn’t believe us. The reason? Because she has been taught by Goodreads that libeling authors is something that is good and allowed. It’s not.
If you believe in free speech, you accept that your adversaries have the same. That is the issue I hate with GR – they actually believe that an author has no right to respond to attacks. I’m better than they are. I am a firm believer in the right of response. The Trout woman’s post wasn’t even that strong.
I agree.
Sorry but I would have done the same thing as Eve. I am pretty literate about computers and the net but this is the first time that I have heard about the google number. I never post my phone numbers online. Never. So I can certainly see why Eve wouldn’t want to give out her number. Also, with her past abuse, can you blame her for not giving it out? Even in the US, the court system sometimes fail to protect the victims.
I agree, Torqueen. I would have, too. I only have one number and I have to admit, I didn’t know about google number, either.
I’m the one who was disgusted by the Trout blog post where she libeled Eve.
No I am not Eve’s friend or associated with Eve Thomas in any way. Shape or form.
Once again, I was disgusted by the post on Trout’s blog and perhaps overreacted. I only know that if I was the one on the receiving end of such nonsense, it would be difficult to deal with. So no, again, Eve is not my friend, nor AM I Eve herself. I am merely sympathetic to Eve Thomas, and can only imagine how I’D feel if I were going through the same thing.
Should I say it again? I’m not Eve. I don’t KNOW Eve. I’m not a FRIEND or acquaintance of Eve Thomas.
Okay?
We were disgusted by Trout’s post, too, and we’ve recently found out that the majority of her accusations against Eve are false. We will be doing a post on it soon.
Sorry – the direct link to the America’s Worst Charities article is:
http://www.tampabay.com/americas-worst-charities/
I had the other one bookmarked as I found the article via that site.
I’m going to try and answer your questions but please understand this is a legal case. Eve’s children are both over 18 and were also abused and do not want any contact with their father who was convicted of battery. Eve’s friends husband sexually assaulted her and at first Eve kept this to herself as she was going through the trial and giving evidence against her husband. I cannot and will not go into the details of the full extent of the abuse that Eve and her daughters went through but it was horrific and ended when he had them trapped in the house with petrol and a lighter, Eve and her girls were lucky they escaped and are alive today.
The man who sexually assaulted Eve took advantage of her when she was very vulnerable and scared and when Eve eventually got the courage and told her friend she of course sided with her husband and Eve’s x. What has followed has been awful, her so called friend took Eve to court in revenge because Eve disclosed what her husband did and the civil courts here in England state what they see everyone sees and so when the court asked for Eve’s number she refused explaining fully to the court and having to disclose the assault. Eve told the court they could have her number and had she had knowledge of the process she was enduring she could have given another number or at least bought a cheap payg phone but this surprised Eve as much as its surprised the police and other agencies, a big mistake has been made that has exposed the courts and how they have made a victim vulnerable. The court, a Mr Monaghan held Eve in contempt of court and she’s now facing committal proceedings. She has since offered to supply the court with an alternative number but they say the committal still stands.
I hope this clarifies somewhat for you all. I’m sure if you contacted Eve she would explain to anyone. Eve has exposed a massive injustice in the civil court process here in England and is taking this to parliament so hopefully no other victim is put in this situation.
What I don’t understand is how come she is asked for a phone number in the first place? As far as I know no one is obliged to own or have a phone yet. So simply stating “there is no phone” should have been perfectly enough.
I also wish to state that Eve’s ex husband, the father of her girls relinquished all rights as a father when he physically and emotionally abused them for years. I’m sorry I actually came here to defend Eve, no one has the right to abuse and especially not a child. I shall not be posting here again as I’m sorry but it seems you also want Eve’s horrific life playing out for you.
Butting in here and giving my .02 cents. I’m sorry you feel like you’ve had to defend Eve to us, I know a lot of folks here are curious as to Eve’s story, but please, don’t feel like you *have to* explain anything to us. What has happened to Eve is beyond horrible, I can’t even begin to imagine what she’s gone through.
I know the legal process in the UK is slightly different to the US and even most countries in the EU. I’m glad Eve is strong enough to not only fight her ex, but also the legal system. She’s a hero! She should *not* have to deal with mental abuse by random people on the internet who know nothing about her, and are certainly not looking out for her interests.
I’ve been following Eve’s fight with the bullies, and I really hope the STGRB website will continue to be a safe haven for you and Eve, even if you guys do nothing else but read the posts here, or even just to vent once in a while. Personally I hope this isn’t the last we see of you.
Well said, Belle. No, she shouldn’t feel that she has to explain and she should also feel welcome here, too. Eve has been through a horrible ordeal and I can see how she wouldn’t give up her number. I only have one number and if I was in her situation, I would have refused, too. But I also know that in the US, if you feel as if you or your loved ones are being threatened, you have the right to withhold information. I don’t know how the UK operates but it sounds like Eve’s case found a problem with the law.
Theresa, thank you for all the information you gave us about Eve’s story. I don’t find it odd that she refused to give her number based on the reason you stated. Makes sense to me. We’ll be doing a post soon about it using the information you gave us.
GB is right. After all that Eve’s gone through, she shouldn’t be exposed to even more abuse by random strangers online. Please feel free to keep posting here.
Thank you everyone. Eve’s only wish was to help others, I watched tonight on twitter the attack again and yet Eve has once again reached out, I swear I don’t know where she gets the strength. Yes her life has been bad but she’s using it wisely and to aid others and growing herself as a woman and a human being. The laws are much different here in the UK, we wish we had the protection you have in the States. Eve has taken this on board and will be using the information when she presents her proposals. Victims are not protected the same, to withhold information is contempt and one faces committal which unfortunately Eve is now facing. She’s gathering a lot of support both for herself and #OneVoice and I personally thank you for supporting her too.
A statement has now been released on Eve’s website http://m.evethomas.co.uk/Eve-Thomas-Public-Statement.html
Yesterday the world watched in disgust as a person contacted Eve seeking help this person was in desperate need and sought Eve on Twitter, Coaxial and voicelessnomore tweeted her trying to discredit Eve, the person was petrified and confused as well as suicidal, it was disgusting watching Coaxial and company attack this way when a person so desperately needed help. Eve did what she always does and reached out once more. I’m going to quote Eve now because she’s bang on “the abuse must stop.” This has gone too far now, a persons life is at stake.
Coaxial – Shoshana Bick-is one disgusting, vile human being. She is as hideous on the outside as she is on the inside. She spreads nothing but hate, which shows how curdled and rotten her insides are. She must be one miserable human being.
I really wish these people would think about what they are doing and realize what they do affects real people. Do they want someone to commit suicide? Do they want people to suffer? I don’t understand this mentality. I honestly do not understand how any human being can be so vile and evil. And that they do, all of it, is pure evil. Don’t they see that? It is no different than LGBT children and adults getting bullied to death for who they are–the people who do the bullying use all the same excuses for their torment just wrapped in a different package.
Off topic, but I noticed one of Melissa Douthit’s book-covers and description have been re-uploaded to Goodreads. Is this an attempt at harassment, to see how many take-down orders she’s going to have to send them, or did she put it up herself?
Thank you for bringing that to our attention. She probably doesn’t even know. We’ll tell her.
Free, I’m free from GR, oh the relief I feel has NO words. Just clicking that delete button who would have thought. Thank You for everything, truly.
