April, I know there's a snowballs chance in hell of you seeing this but I have some suggestions.
April, it's a fair point. Honestly, I have critiques of you that are entirely based on things I see and hear, and they may be well off the mark. Having your own show--and you have experience running a show don't you?--would let you not only 'correct the record' but might well let you clean the slate.
I'll pile on...
Hey, April, I have an idea. What if - WHAT IF - the Internet was to 'see and raise' whatever the Rekietas have paid you AND got you out of that nasty NDA we assume they made you sign?
On that illegal NDA. See, there's this cool lawyer, Matthew Hardin. Josh Moon has him on retainer [or something]. You were pressured to sign it, right? To hide the criminal activity of this nasty couple who abused you, manipulated you, forced drugs on you, and made you a junkie. You were high or tweaking when you signed it, right? IANAL but I'm pretty sure there are laws against that.
GIRL. Think about it! You were stranded at that lonely house with no furniture or Internet! Made to resort to nitrous balloons with doomed hope of 'happily ever after' - clean drug tests for the empty promise of another round of step-mommying and a trust fund! Horrors!
As for your pay-off... c'mon, Ape. Everyone has a price. What's yours? I'm guessing they gave you +/- $20K. The Internet can raise that, and far more.
There's one pesky little issue: Josh Moon's sound ethics.
He'd want you to be truthful. An extra fundraising campaign for your "honesty" might be a bridge too far for our fearless leader. But, listen April, he has friends. PPP and Warski aren't above these antics.
So, y'know, Ape. It's just a
conversation. Josh Moon is a simple email away and has well-established sympathy for women abused by Lolcows.
Think big, Ape. You could have Josh Moon, Matthew Hardin, and the entire Internet behind you.
Edit to say: Same goes for you, Kayla, with a different narrative.
