I believe that Tess is stretching the truth here. She posts about said abuse in vague terms and I’m guessing what she is doing is not specifying that she believes she went through mental abuse. That way (in her mind at least) she’s not flat out lying. Even though her word choice makes it seem as if she was physically beaten IE the blood metaphor. On Twitter she’s frantic now that people are not believing her. She’s saying you can’t gaslight her on what she experienced.
She’s self conscious what the public thinks of her abuse statement (ignoring the thousands of comments supporting her on Instagram and Twitter and instead screenshotting select comments on a buzzfeed article). She’s feeling out the public before she possibly shares more so she can see if the majority is on her side.
In my opinion, she exaggerated something that is very serious. Nick was an alcoholic, he admits he had problems and hurt others while intoxicated. I’m sure he did and said things that were awful but Tess has a vindictive nature and her ego is bruised so now she is coming for him. This time she went too far, I think Nick will retaliate through divorce procedures or possibly suing for defamation. Tess said she is going on another social media break. I think she bit more than she could chew with these accusations.
