Hoffman got so much shit wrong about that case that it actually made me angry listening to him pontificate about how Nick owes the mom an apology. If the mom's boyfriend did nothing wrong, why was he later arrested for DV and violence against a child? Are we completely disregarding Sophie's testimony and that utterly horrific video of her fighting not to go back to her mother that was scrubbed from social media? Isn't your big thing bringing light to child abuse, my guy?I was gonna say, I barely remember the case but shit was very very bad and Sophie needed to gtfo somehow. Then the dad straight fled to Mexico with her, also bad.
It’s really a sad example of how, in many cases, both parents can be shit and the kid gets caught in the middle with no real recourse.
I do think Nick's previous support of Michael Long is interesting to bring up, though, since he's now trying to paint Elissa as a monster for "supporting a child abductor" when he himself platformed the same abductor and took his side. If Nick was less swiss cheese-brained it might be fun to watch the mental gymnastics he'd pull out in order to avoid admitting that he'd ever been wrong in either direction, but sadly we'll probably only get more of him petulantly calling Gabe Hoffman short and gay.
