I am saddened to see that you joined the ranks of the anti Lori campaign, @Thirdstryker1. I always have known you as a reasonable, fair person. I am surprised that you would assume you have the whole truth. You clearly do not, but I am not inclined to badmouth people, especially this way.
No matter what has happened, every last one of you should have had the decency and the common sense to consider that maybe reality as you have been shown is skewed. Perhaps I am not “a bad actor”. I have nothing of secret in my world- and you guys really showed NO basic due diligence before loudly bashing your bewildered, former ally.
Throwing criminal accusations around as if they are simple insults seems sloppy and cruel.
Never has my heart been so genuinely immersed in something I loved doing - only to become the cast away from the few people who I considered friends.
It’s this bandwagon behavior that we are supposed to be against.🐑🐏🐑🐏🐑🐏🐑
Do you guys mind behaving in a civilized way? What’s up with the the angry mob coming at all angles?
🐑🐏🐑🐏🐑🐏🐑🐑🐏🐑🐏🐑🐏🐑
Don’t be sheeple. Think for yourself. Ask questions before ruining someone next time.
I am a distant person for you guys but from here, I am a mom, engaged to be married next year after loss you wouldn’t believe, and I have seen enough tragic shit in the last few years to fill a book. Still, nothing has been quiet as devastating as you all turning on me. Especially my mentor, the leader, the boss. Painful. 🥀
Be better than typical. I am no monster.
😭

If you're referring to the article which they finally have readable on the site – there's no proof.
In fact, a canny, thoughtful reader will come away from that feeling as though they have been misled.
Oh, sure, they make the assertion that Lori stole tens of thousands of dollars from them. They assert that quite aggressively. They don't actually talk about and what position she must've been to have access to that kind of funds, nor do they actually say that they are going to pursue criminal charges against her – as someone would who had tens of thousands of dollars which, theoretically, would impact day-to-day operations for a media operation would do.
All they do is assert that this bad thing happened, that she did it, that they're not going to tell us what happened, nor are they going to actually use the criminal justice system as it's designed in order to pursue what is not a small amount of money, but instead are just going to mildly smear her reputation.
Does that really, truly, come across to you as a company from which tens of thousands of dollars in operating funds have been embezzled? Seriously, this is a real question. If you come to this sort of announcement and have to judge the truth of it, absent any actual proof in the document itself, absent any engagement with the legal system absent any sort of supporting evidence, do you really come away with belief in complete truth of the accusation?
Because if so, you are probably going to have a very bad time pretty much anywhere. If that is the level of accusation and the support thereof that it requires to convince you of a capital crime, then I have this bridge in San Francisco that I can let you have cheap. While I'm at it, I'll sell you chunks of concrete which I guarantee came from the dynamited alien landing platform at Area 51.
I'm saying you'd be gullible, is what I'm saying. I'm saying your judgment would be more than questionable.
No one has to convince you that they are innocent in the mere presence of accusation. Accusations are cheap and easy. They typically cost the accuser nothing; there is almost no risk for making an accusation. If you are going to put the burden of proof, all proof, on the accused, you have made a decision which is going to end poorly for you in your life going forward.
And that's sad.
I am always willing to look at proof. I love proof. I'm willing to believe proof. I'm also willing to believe that people lie; all people lie. Accusers lie.
An extraordinary claim requires extraordinary evidence. We have the claim – but we have no evidence. Get back to me when that happens and maybe we'll have something to talk about.

The differerence is what I have in “evidence” is very damaging to my former friend, and despite the battle that has ensued, I won’t intentionally harm someone

This is all a word salad, just give me evidence you didn't steal the funds. Lori you made a poor error in judgement, either you prove you didn't steal the funds or you protect your friend. You must choose one. If you don't give us evidence I will continue to believe you stole the funds. That is life.

I think you should re-examine the evidence already provided to you. Then ask yourself who was actually the affected parties. You will discover that the person who suffered loss was House. Only. Not his company, not my clients... only House. I came to him with my confession of what had happened and he acted accordingly, to what he thought was the right thing to do, and everyone who was a client was, with my help, handled fairly and everyone ended up with MORE than what they even paid for in services. That being said, I feel that what transpired was between me and House. I truly made up for it- and beyond. I am not some thief, salivating with greed. Word salad is my way of protecting the remaining dignity of my own and for my former friend who didn’t show me the same courtesy. Think what you want but I suggest being courteous at least and doing some due diligence before reporting falsely that fraud was committed. It wasn’t.

One more sad thing: The “friend” I am protecting is the very same friend who has chosen to turn all of this on me at the most random of moments. It is House Who I was protecting with my silence. Well, now- I ask you to slow down on your accusations until you are up to speed on the truth, in context. You have been fed a spoon full of decorative bullshit. I was not going to insult you by feeding into this hate rally, and you will probably at some point see that your erroneous move was first to believe only what you have been offered without any such prerequisite probing, not even so much as a “what happened?” was uttered in my direction until I pointed out that you were assuming too much. Tabloid smut is what this is reducing it too. The cost, according to what House wishes, would be my credibility, my livelihood and my now empty pantry. However, I am not so easily snuffed out in the face of such abomination. I was protecting the hand that continues to slap me in the face while enjoying bountiful feasts of which I have none. He is the one I was protecting. Without his reciprocal courtesy I am inclined to take this to the next level. It isn’t my interests to convince you. It is my interest to survive. That’s proving to be a challenge with this shit fogging up my reputation and I don’t deserve it. 🔛
