What I want most is to see narcissists completely stripped of their lies and pretension. The only just outcomes are a complete breakdown wherein they realize what they've done wrong and how they've hurt others, or they fucking kill themselves.He still looks like a big, fat, roided toddler.
A Seattle man whose partner died after injecting his genitals with silicone to make them bigger has launched defamation proceedings against one of Australia's major TV networks. Dylan Hafertepen and his Australian partner Jack Chapman blogged extensively about their dominant/submissive relationship, in which Hafertepen was the "master" and Jack one of his "pups", before Jack's death in October 2018. They also documented for their online followers changes to their bodies, which included gaining enormous muscles, and Jack enlarging his genitals by injecting them with silicone.
When Jack died, from lung problems caused by a silicone embolism, it raised questions among their fan base — and in the media — about the circumstances of the death and the relationship. One report, aired on Network Ten's The Project on Nov. 6, 2018, featured a dramatic confrontation between Hafertepen and Jack's mother, Linda Chapman, filmed when he brought Jack's ashes back to Australia.
Now Hafertepen has filed a lawsuit against Ten in the Australian Federal Court, alleging he was defamed by the broadcast. The report was put together by journalist Hamish Macdonald, who was recently announced as the new host of the ABC's flagship political panel show Q&A. The segment focused on Linda Chapman, who described her son as a "gentle giant" who was "so loved" and who had changed after getting into a relationship with Hafertepen. Macdonald says in a voiceover on the program: "Dylan had introduced Jack to dangerous body manipulation and master servant role-play."
Cameras were rolling as Hafertepen came to deliver Jack's ashes to Linda. He can be seen in the segment looking in the direction of the cameras and asking her, "What's all this?" "They've come here to film the returning of Jack's ashes. They're going to be covering the wake," Linda told him. "Oh, OK," he replied. In the emotional confrontation that followed, Linda said to Hafertepen: "I believe with all my heart that you are wholly and solely responsible for my son's death. I wish you were dead." It ended when when she told him "Get out of my house, I hate you" and he left.
Jack was also known as Tank Hafertepen — and legally changed his name to this prior to his death — but is named in the Australian lawsuit as Jack Chapman. Before his death, he lived in Seattle with Hafertepen and four other "pups". In court documents Hafertepen complained the broadcast was "over-sensationalised" and that it falsely accused him of being responsible for Jack's death. He also accused Ten of "tricking [him] into giving an interview without informing him that it intended to publish the matter complained of and under false pretences". Hafertepen alleges the broadcast suggested a number of defamatory things about him, including that he was abusive, domineering and manipulative towards Jack; that he forced Jack to leave everything to him in a will "three weeks before [his] suspicious death"; and that he caused Jack's death by giving him silicone to be injected into his testicles. "Mr Hafertepen required his partner Jack Chapman to cut off all contact with his family, sign over his salary and wear a chain around his neck as part of a sick master/servant relationship," another alleged imputation read. Hafertepen is seeking damages and for the story to be permanently removed from Ten's websites. His barrister Sue Chrysanthou told the Federal Court on Monday morning that the "very serious allegations, criminal allegations" broadcast by Ten were republished across the globe and caused Hafertepen to lose his senior role at Google.
Hafertepen is himself currently being sued for wrongful death by Linda Chapman in the United States.
A BuzzFeed News report published in November 2018 looked at the suspicions cast on Hafertepen over Jack's death, and how some in the online community who followed the couple believe their dominant/submissive relationship had been abusive. Hafertepen told BuzzFeed News for that report, "I’m sad about all the speculation" and chalked up the talk around his partner's death to mere "misinformation" and "conspiracy theories". At Monday's preliminary court hearing, Ten's barrister Lyndelle Barnett said the network intends to file defences of truth and qualified privilege (whether the publisher acted reasonably). Barnett said "extensive investigations" and conversations with US-based witnesses needed to happen before the network could file a defence. “Any truth defence will need to be incredibly detailed. The lawyers will have to be satisfied there’s a proper basis for allegations put in the defence," she said, later adding "I want to make sure it’s right the first time". Chrysanthou said Ten had chosen to publish the allegations and rejected the suggestion that lawyers require a different standard of proof to journalists. "Frankly, I don’t think that’s the case," she said. "If a national broadcaster wants to call someone a murderer, effectively, it should really have all its evidence [in hand] before it does so." Network Ten declined to comment on Hafertepen's allegations as the case is before the courts. The matter is next in court in February 2020.
I'm sure the Australian civil court can't wait to hear in graphic detail how you didn't murder your boyfriend by making him shoot silicone into his balls as stipulated in the slave contract that you made him sign before forcing him to change his name and brand himself with yours, Dylan.I know it's Buzzfeed, but still:

Why would someone 2,500 miles away in a different country to Australia be the people to go and check ?What a shitshow. Any chance for Kiwis in the field to be able to check out the court proceedings, or is that not generally done with lawsuits of this type?
Are you just fucking stupid orWhy would someone 2,500 miles away in a different country to Australia be the people to go and check ?![]()

I'm sure the judge will be totally understanding once he hears how you lied to Jack's friends and family about the fact he was fucking dead in order to cover your own ass, and about how you financially abused him in order to keep him in a relationship he wanted to escape.
I'm sure the jury will be empathetic to how you proceeded to screw Jack's own mother and brother out of his inheritance for your own financial benefit.
What a shitshow. Any chance for Kiwis in the field to be able to check out the court proceedings, or is that not generally done with lawsuits of this type?
the MeToo movement doesn't even exist in Australia.
Channel Ten has asked for surety of $20K to cover costs should the case fail, and were granted this costs provision.
I can't map it out, but all of this is leading to Dylan crashing and burning.I was wondering about this, and it should be granted. This is obviously a bullshit suit by a killer to try to quell the negative coverage of his disgusting behavior. It's sad he's probably blowing his victim's money to try to cover it up.
