A basic summary but I'm just going from memory so details and the timeline might be wrong. I might edit the post later if needed.

This is Madi Hart.


I don't mean to be anti-White or anti-Female but I definitely do mean to be anti-LA, but to sum up in a short sentence, Madi is a basic White bitch and talks and acts like her brain has rotted from LA-living and you, listening to her, risk having your IQ drop. She first became Internet Famous not too long ago when she made a TikTok video about feeling the feminism exit her body when her Chad boyfriend offered to pay for dinner and left her his credit card to be used on whatever. The right-wing scene championed this as a victory for traditional gender roles when in reality, Madi is still very much a leftist feminist in the progressive crowd. She just liked the feeling of being given money for free.

In February, she talked shit about her "deadbeat" father on a 2:20 TikTok in what was supposed to be in a lighthearted joking way:


Behind the scenes, her father asks if she could take it down, do another video with corrections, do a friendly father/daughter collab, or upload his own video to her TikTok. Because not only does it make him look bad, his business/capacity to make money to pay for child support (more on that later) might also be affected. She refuses to compromise in any way, so a few days later (I assume to have time to gather the receipts), her father Ben responds with his own video on YouTube:


A day later, Madi responds on a low-effort <2 minute TikTok with no receipts, just "trust me bro" allegations. Amazingly she contradicts herself on the facts multiple times in the same video:


A few days later (again, time used to gather more receipts), Ben responds:


Since then, Madi has returned to doing the normal female "speak what is currently on my mind at this exact moment" TikTok shit with no deadbeat dad-related TikToks. Ben has made a few more videos since then defending his side of the story.

The Deadbeat Breakdancing Father

Here are some of Madi's original allegations about her father:

He is a deadbeat and wasn't around his 4 children (3 daughters, 1 son).
He left his original wife and found a new wife.
He abandoned his career and children to pursue breakdancing at the not young age of 50+ or 60+.
He refuses to pay for Madi's medical bills.

The Reality

In reality, Madi grew up in a middle to middle-upper class lifestyle (some would say outright upper class) in a rich area and was privileged (in the true uncorrupted by leftists sense of the word). Ben Hart was a smart guy who worked in advertising and even wrote speeches for Ronald Reagan and was probably a millionaire at a young age. His wife Betsy Hart wrote articles and appeared on TV on a modest income. They married and had 3 daughters and 1 son.

According to Ben, Betsy was a spending type. While Ben, despite his income, would be happy with a modest sized affordable home, his wife was ambitious (despite her lower income in comparison) and wanted basically a mansion. At the time, Ben didn't look more into the situation and just went along with it, for the sake of the family. She also wanted to be part of some rich kids golf country club where the entry fee is $100,000 or something per year. That golf club is now owned by Donald Trump (you might remember him as the former US president).

Pictured is the massive house/mansion that Ben and Betsy's family lived in. Imagine being a progressive leftist and complaining about your struggles while living in this.

Eventually, their views on money conflicted too much so they decided to divorce. While most divorces would end up 50-50 or 40-60 (in favor of the ex-wife), Ben went above and beyond by offering 97% of his wealth ($1.8 USD million) as well as offering to pay $12,000 USD child support payments... per month. Again, for the sake of the family. This left him with $70,000 USD. He figured that he still had skills and knowledge (which he did) so he can build up his wealth again, while supporting the family. His total lifetime payment to his ex-wife and children is close to $5 million.

The full breakdown of the division of divorce assets are shown below:

The Ex-Wife Betsy and the Feminist Family Court Judge

Ben's core argument is that his ex-wife has been alienating him from his children by spreading lies about him and that he is not a deadbeat father because has been doing his duty supporting his family financially (The anti-Bens would argue that just because he pays $12,000 in child support a month, that doesn't make him a not deadbeat). It is possible that the children has no idea of the financial situation and that their entire lifestyle (medical bills, school fees etc) was possible because of Ben's contributions.

Furthermore, his ex-wife is malicious and has been attacking Ben's business clients apparently trying to ruin his career and business. How is he supposed to pay child support if he can't make money? Well, he isn't supposed to, she apparently wants him in jail. At one point he was short $100,000 so the feminist judge, who has a suspiciously similar short haircut as the ex-wife, instead of giving him a chance to raise that money (which he obviously can), just sends him to jail. Betsy also apparently plays some kind of Christian grifter, writing books about her divorce, appearing on TV promoting it, trashing her ex-husband, and thanking God for her blessings when she should be thanking the double team of God and Ben.

Addressing the Original Allegations

Madi had made 2 TikTok videos about her father. They are stream of consciousness videos with no facts, no figures, no receipts. Ben had made multiple responses, all backed up with receipts.

He is a deadbeat and wasn't around his 4 children (3 daughters, 1 son): According to himself, he wasn't a deadbeat dad. Deadbeat dads usually don't pay $1.8 million + $12,000 month for years. Also, his wife has sold custody of the children and Ben had limited visitation rights so he did the best he could do which included having dinner as a family, being present at his children's graduations, going on trips with them etc. He had photos to back this up. In addition, he also communicates frequently by phone and text (with receipts to back it up).

He left his original wife and found a new wife: This allegation implies he was cheating or found a new wife straight after he got divorced. I don't remember the timeline but he remarried a decent time after the divorce. In fact, it was his Laotian wife (the opposite of privilege after having suffered from the communist regime in her home country) who went into credit card debt to support Ben while he was in jail. Furthermore, him and his wife bought a house across the street from his old family's home so they could visit whenever both ways (his children weren't completely accepting of Ben's new wife). This is the opposite of what a deadbeat dad would do.

He abandoned his career and children to pursue breakdancing at the not young age of 50+ or 60+: He pursued breakdancing for health reasons long after the divorce and it wasn't at a cost to his career so it wouldn't affect his ability to pay child support.

He refuses to pay for Madi's medical bills: Ben paid the original $1.8 million + $12,000 per month so Madi should be asking her mother Betsy to pay. Or be a strong and independent woman and get a job. Regardless, Ben did pay for her stuff and he has receipts: Madi is basically a spoilt girl... sorry woman, she is a grown woman daughter who begs her "deadbeat" dad for money by text. Ben did pay for he medical bills but the only one he didn't pay, the one Madi complained about, is the fact that she wanted to go to therapy for breaking up with her boyfriend.

With such a thorough takedown of her allegations (even if said in jest), she has not responded anymore and has deleted and locked down the comments sections of her 2 TikToks. Not surprisingly, the majority of Pro-Bens are male, while the majority of Pro-Madis are female (I checked some of the comments before she deleted them).

Conclusion

Obviously, I am on the side of Ben. I see a man with some flaws but a genuine intent to be a good or even great father, does the best he can with what he has (his money certainly helps) and he had been silent for decades about his family issues until Madi forced him to respond to her misinformation. I'm happy to change my mind if it turns out for example, that in private, he was a drunk asshole abuser or was cheating while married. But only if you give me the documentation and receipts, not just feelings.

This incident just proves even more that men and women live in different worlds. Women deal in feelings and emotions (I feel like my dad abandoned me) while men deal in facts and receipts. To be fair, on Madi's TikToks, there were some people calling out her bullshit (maybe that's why she locked it) and on Ben's YouTube, there were a few women (biological women, not trannies) giving their support. Many people comment, if Ben is a deadbeat dad, then I want to be adopted by him! There were a few anti-Bens on his YouTube videos but their comments are so misinformed, they might as well be retards/women.

Can Madi see the light and admit her mistake and forgive her father? Doubtful. She's probably too deep into the progressive unshaved armpit hair (not untrue in Madi's case) city girl crowd to be capable of self-reflection. She's also in her mid 20s so she had plenty of time to look up the facts and realize a lot of what she has is thanks to her father. In fact, it was her father who supported and encouraged her into becoming an Internet celebrity (her idea). Even if she did admit her mistakes, it would be suspect: Ben recently threatened to put her out of his will (I think it's a mistake on his part) so would she actually forgive him or does she just want her share of the pie.

The other 2 daughters are allied with Madi, with one (Olivia) reintroducing her silent treatment of Ben (she had previously not talked to him for a whole year before deciding that 1 year of not talking to him was enough). According to Ben, the son is neutral and still on speaking terms with him. I don't want to judge based on appearances, but he looks pretty beta, maybe even a bit autistic. The fact that the son lives with 3 female siblings with a controlling malicious mother doesn't help. Betsy had remarried with another man but not much is known about his thoughts on the family feud.

Ben has his share of the mistakes: marrying the wrong wife, not clearly communicating what each person wants in life, getting pussy-whipped by his wife, and spoiling his children, even as adults. Despite his good intentions, his biggest mistake was giving 97% to his ex-wife. She was not any less malicious or demonic despite getting 97%.

Ben the Personality

Thanks to Madi exposing her private family issues to the Internet, Ben had become more Internet famous. He was already pretty well known as the Breakdancing Dad but he is also a Libertarian type writing non-Leftist newsletters when he was young on Leftist college campuses (who shut it down). It was through this newsletter he met conservative/Right-Winger Dinesh D'Souza in the early days (back when Dinesh was still left-leaning). He is also a fan of Bitcoin. Ironically, Betsy didn't care about his Bitcoins during the divorce so that was one source of wealth Ben was able to keep for himself. He also speaks for men's rights, especially about marriage (a bad deal) and the anti-male family courts.

Conspiracy Theory

There is also a conspiracy theory going around that this entire thing is a grift for views/subscribers that both Ben and his daughter are in on. If true, then they should both burn in hell.

I've been following it, but not that closely. On the face of it, obviously Ben is the more sympathetic character, however there are some red flags that I am wary of. First, the fact that he made his career in marketing and advertising makes me take everything he says with a grain of salt. I became particularly suspicious with his jail story. It tells too much like a movie script to be entirely believable. Locked on the basement of a county jail without any idea what his charges were or what the sentence was, immediately endeared to by the cast of zany prison characters who immediately try to help him get out. Warden personally comes down to hear his story and rescue him from the man hating judge.

He probably did do some time for contempt, but I doubt it went how he said it went. The suspension of disbelief was broken for me here, which throws the rest of the story into doubt. Other things started sticking out: the fact that each video is done with a speaking style that tells me he is reading from a script in a practiced way, small details coming out about him having violent encounters with the ex wife, him fleeing from custody, him having in Asian wife, etc.

I am suspicious of the whole story, and find the conspiracy angle to be a possibility, or he is just an asshole with a background in marketing trying to take advantage of his estranged daughter airing the family's dirty laundry.
 
I'm totally a Ben bro.

For what it's worth, I thought he gave his wife $5 million, not $1.8.

I also thought he owned his own ad agency. I'm pretty sure he did. Ditto for point one.

When people came to Madi with this, she said, "I was a kid and I wasn't really aware of the financial side," or something like that. Totally just blowing up her own premise.

Basically, her only point of contention was that he didn't pay for something that her university already provides for free. And this was like 15 years after the divorce.
 
You should still archive some of your shit if you want this to be a readable thread in the future.

I'll do it later

We're both right. I added a screenshot of the divorce assets in the main post. His initial payment was $1.8m + $12000 per month to his ex-wife. His lifetime payments so far to his ex-wife and children has been close to $5 million.

This is a prime example of people taking advantage of someone else's kindness, and that's partly Ben's fault for being such a pushover. He pays his family millions and they still hate him. Might as well just be a deadbeat dad from the beginning, the results would still be the same.

First, the fact that he made his career in marketing and advertising makes me take everything he says with a grain of salt.

I don't disagree. Like Null says, Total Advertizer/Marketer Death.

Maybe Ben and Madi are trying to write their own The Shawshank Redemption movie.

Other things started sticking out: the fact that each video is done with a speaking style that tells me he is reading from a script in a practiced way,

Counter-argument: Ben, as a man and the "abuser," needs to choose his words carefully and deliver it without negativity or anger because the anti-Bens will scrutinize and pick apart every single word and sentence he says.

Madi, as the "damsel in distress" and "the woman victim", has the privilege to say whatever she wants, however she wants, the more emotional she talks, the more believable her story is. She gets to make two 2 minute low-effort videos and everyone believes her. Ben has to respond with hours of video to share his side of the story.

small details coming out about him having violent encounters with the ex wife, him fleeing from custody,

Could you remind me again what those violent encounters were? The only one I remember was when Betsy held her ipod in front of him, taunting that she has been secretly recording him (not sure about the legality of this). Ben got mad and let his emotions take over him, snatched it out of her hand and got inside his car. She dived into his car and they had a struggle. The children may have witnessed this. Eventually Ben threw away the ipod and it has been lost since. Ben made some bad decisions here but hey, women are always telling men that they should show their emotions and feelings more right?

I am suspicious of the whole story, and find the conspiracy angle to be a possibility, or he is just an asshole with a background in marketing trying to take advantage of his estranged daughter airing the family's dirty laundry.

If he thinks that what Madi has said is untrue, then he had no choice to respond and he had a duty to respond, as we all do. Might as well make the most of a bad situation. It's like when that Internet company falsely accused Kiwi Farms of hosting CSAM material so Null had no choice but to get a big stick ($150000) and wave it at them.

Speaking of Madi Hart, her degeneracy is viral again (no thanks to Tim Pool, The Quartering etc for giving her attention). She made a TikTok where she had the epiphany that "Pro-Choice" means "choice to kill the baby" as well as "choice to keep the baby."

She has now updated her stance and now identifies as pro-abortion.
 
Ben Hart has officially cut Madi out of his will.

Good. I love it when entitled people finally discover there are consequences for their actions, especially spoiled princesses.

An absentee dad isn’t necessarily a deadbeat dad. People with dads who weren’t around as much as they should’ve been but at least paid out the nose making sure the kids lacked nothing else, should STFU. Most parents would laugh at kids expecting them to cover their medical expenses when they’re adults (or covered by a pricey university like Northwestern’s plan). They should especially STFU when their dad is wealthy and has provided for them further in his will. Nobody has to leave assets & money to spoiled ingrates, they can leave it to charities or endowments, or more deserving parties like the wife that grew up in real poverty yet supported her eccentric husband in everything. That mansion this little bitch grew up in makes Home Alone Kevin’s look like an Appalachian shack.

And not a moment too soon. He should've removed her from his will a long time ago but at least by doing it so late, he can say that he had given Madi many chances to grow up (spoiler: she didn't) and make amends. Ben seems to be a genuine guy that cares about his children and doing the best he can but his main mistake was he spoiled his wife and the children too much with money. Spoiled children are a real thing and Madi is the ultimate example. Imagine being Madi, growing up in a middle-to-upper (more upper) class household, moving to LA, talking shit about her father in her comedy standups/TikTok videos, while in private messages (proof in above video), constantly begging her father to pay for shit.

Half of the video is him recapping the situation, but a new interesting thing he has shared is that Madi has been talking shit about Betsy her mother (Ben's ex-wife) in her comedy standups. Betsy if you forgot, is some kind of "I'm a strong and independent woman and a single mother of 4 children and Christ is King" grifter in public while character assassinating her ex-husband Ben Hart to her children in private.

So Madi is a mentally fucked up woman made even more fucked up by her pozzed Californian peer group, regardless and independent of the influences (negative or not) of her father and mother.

Also, interesting, he compares the current prosecutions against Trump with democrat prosecutions he hav experienced himself. Not a new things for he democrats to use the jsutice system as a political sledgehammer.


I found this very interesting, he compares his current wife to Kamala Harris, very interesting to hear the story about the wife.

He's also friends from way back with former democrat turned Republican/Conservative patriot Dinesh D'souza who also had the legal system used against him by the Obama administration for what was ultimately minor transgressions/an honest mistake (I think it involved political donations or something).

And as a follow up, how black is Kamala?


tl;dw She's mostly Indian and Irish but she only talks about her blackness. She's 1/4 or 1/3 black at best.
