If only a small portion of this is truthful, poor Faith. It's a shame her past behaviour has made her something of a unreliable narrator, and while she has done some awful things I have a lot of sympathy for her given her age, naivety and what she must have gone through living isolated with the Gunt for the better part of a year.
I do want to make three comments relating to the veracity of this, the first is the alignment with known facts. The second and third are general observations about behaviour consistent with abuser and the abused.
Most of the really bad things that Faith is accusing Ralph of are proven, and many others whilst not proven do have some evidence to back them up.
Things we know to be true are:
We know that Ralph and May tried to pressure Faith into a Polycule, and used her unborn child in an effort to gain leverage for this, as we have texts between the three about this exact event.
Ralph released that sex tape, it was filmed.
Ralph has also abandoned Xander and has made no effort to contact Xander, get his name on the birth certificate, or provide for him either even though he had ample opportunity to do so (Despite Ralph claiming that Xander was in immediate danger from Mr Vickers).
We know Ralph lied about the sex tape release, and we can be damn certain he was controlling Faith's contact with the outside world based on the video he made her post about him and the sex tape.
Things we can be relatively certain about:
May groping Faith.
Ralph being violent - while no confirmation is available, this was hinted at in the Polycule texts by Faith, and while we have no confirmatory evidence I do think that the consistency of Faiths story over time, and Ralphs behaviours lend credence to this.
Preventing her usage of electronics to control her - again, no confirmation but Ralph did make mention that she was going to avoid going online for her protection, but this is a classic abuser tactic to isolate them from friends and family.
Do I believe all of this? Probably not, him screaming "I'm a king" is too ridiculous. Then again - it's Ralph.
The second part of this I want to look at is Faith's behaviour. Lots of people quite rightly were perplexed why she went back to Ralph, why she believed him regarding the sex tape and why she kept up communication. It seems stupid, but here again I have to point out that abuse victims often do not behave in a manner which is rational. Many struggle to leave their abusers out of fear, and actively protect them.
Here is an example of a grown man who was physically abused by his girlfriend, who only admitted it to the police on a second visit after they removed him from the house and told him the neighbours had heard a fight. Now instead of being a grown-man, imagine you're a 19 year old fresh out of high-school, and instead of a woman attacking you it's an alcoholic felon who claims he's got legions of avid fans who like to fuck with people. I think this kind of fear, and the self-preservation instinct are a potential explanation for Faiths behaviour in DC before going back to the Gunt shack.
Finally Ralph, I speculated some time ago that Ralph exhibits a lot of the red flags of an abuser. This is an infographic regarding abusive and controlling relationships, and how they can lead up to domestic homicide. Just to clarify, obviously we do not know if Ralph is capable of murder - beyond the woman he killed in the Arby's parking lot - but usually abusers oscillate between steps 3-6, with the vast majority never going beyond that point. So how does Ralph fit?
Step 1: Ralph is an alcoholic felon, and has a restraining order from one of his ex's.
Step 2: Ralph moved Faith across the country and in with him after speaking to her on discord and potentially meeting up with her once. He quickly moved to get her pregnant and was very aggressive and possessive about her especially when talking to the family. Looking back at Nora, they married after meeting online, and he was very possessive as we saw with him and Andy falling out because Nora spoke with Andy.
Step 3: Lots of this has been discussed above regarding Faith, but Ralph does this with others too - he collects dirt to use on others he knows, he did this to Rand, Boogie etc. He uses this to exert control.
Step 4&5: Examples of triggers, Faith refusing a threesome caused Ralph to rage, her stopping talking to him at Disneyland caused Ralph to threaten Vickers etc.
So while I do not believe Faith on every little detail, I think the broad strokes are true and fit with what we already know. Hence, he's seething with his winky face Tweet and the Gunt Guard reserve units have been called up to post shit all over the forum and the image boards.
" and changing his bio is a good indicator of how "little" he cares about Faith's post and a sign that he is absolutely going to go lower and retaliate for being called a cuck/not the father (Ralph is not the father lol).
