FABRICATION/LIES (78 messages)
[2017-03-25 17:18:09] TARA→ Therapist/Counselor (+15165079061): Hi I am testing positive on pregnancy tests. My flight is sunday, but I was going to cancel it before I see a doctor. I know you said flying during first trimester is a bad idea right?
[2017-03-25 19:07:35] TARA→ Stephen Russell (Ph1) (+14156019897): Every other time I have been flying I have miscarried so that should tell you something- it could be related to the stress of doing it or cosmic radiation- I started putting together research for you but I really just want to relax
[2017-03-26 00:43:34] TARA→ Therapist/Counselor (+15165079061): Steve is unhappy I am not flying back to NYC tomorrow and is making threats. He wanted me to go back there for a week and is not listening to my concerns being pregnant. He is away until 8pm sf time, in which I was going to lace for the hotel shortly to avoid interaction. I just don't know what to s...
[2017-03-26 08:57:29] TARA→ Westchester Friend B (+19143277168): I'm just flying home Monday
[2017-03-26 09:07:41] TARA→ Westchester Friend A (+19147742351): I'm just flying home Monday
[2017-03-26 12:15:39] →TARA Arizona Friend (+14803264584): Yeah just come home. Maybe yur ok flying while pregnant in the "grace period" u were talking about. But time is running out.
[2017-03-26 19:27:47] TARA→ Brienne Walsh (phone) (+16467971407): Hey I'm flying back today
[2017-03-26 19:31:14] TARA→ NYC Friend E (+19172444234): Hey flying back today
[2017-05-05 20:09:49] →TARA Therapist/Counselor (+15165079061): I know you're afraid of that n it's probably not true; he will come back around as he has before. Try no contact for the next 3 days
[2017-05-13 20:13:19] TARA→ Stephen Russell (Ph1) (+14156019897): R we flying out tomorrow night then?
[2017-05-15 10:28:20] TARA→ NYC Friend E (+19172444234): Steve said you said something to him why he made up how decision. It's for the best thank you for being a good friend. I can't sleep. Talk to you in the am.
[2017-05-16 21:45:14] →TARA Stephen Russell (Ph1) (+14156019897): No because you were seeing other people, lying, and you were miserable to me when I arrived.
[2017-05-18 01:41:45] TARA→ Stephen Russell (Ph1) (+14156019897): I said I love you this morning BC my period is 5 days late, which means I might be fucking pregnant AGAIN and that you lied to me and came inside me. I don't want to be pregnant, I can't even get myself to take a test. This is YOUR fault if I am. That is the truth. I'm just afraid
[2017-05-18 01:44:02] TARA→ Stephen Russell (Ph1) (+14156019897): You must have lied about not coming inside me. That's a vampire
[2017-05-21 16:04:03] →TARA Arizona Friend (+14803264584): Might be a False Flag operation. Might be legit. Similar to The Day After Roswell by Phillip Corso, which I think is authentic.
[2017-05-24 00:42:33] →TARA Brienne Walsh (email) ([email protected]): TARA definitely not true
[2017-05-25 20:56:44] →TARA Stephen Russell (Ph1) (+14156019897): I don't believe you because you have a tradition of lying and no woman who was really thought she was pregnant would act they way you were.
[2017-05-26 01:29:43] TARA→ Westchester Friend B (+19143277168): That's not true
[2017-05-30 18:05:08] →TARA Stephen Russell (Ph1) (+14156019897): You flying out.
[2017-06-07 20:58:34] →TARA Arizona Friend (+14803264584): Total opposite. I'm having a great day. I'm flying. Everyone else around is dragging. I thinkers the convo of a lot of fresh juice and 90min best yoga this morning. It really gets the Cobb webs out
[2017-06-09 22:08:13] TARA→ Stephen Russell (Ph1) (+14156019897): You always make it seem like you love me no matter what but that's just not true. I'm hysterical, pregnant, alone and you have abandoned me. I am heartbroken BC we have spent so many months excited to have a baby and now I might need to get an abortion. Please say something I don't know what to do
[2017-06-13 17:52:52] TARA→ Westchester Friend B (+19143277168): Oh I guess she was lying
[2017-06-24 13:04:01] TARA→ Stephen Russell (Ph1) (+14156019897): Brendan really lost it you replied to him again. He called me a sick bitch and told me he is printing out the texts to show to my parents. I would just really not say anything to him- he blocked my number I think. I don't get why he has so much rage
[2017-06-25 18:45:04] →TARA Arizona Friend (+14803264584): The point is there's a risk with flying.
[2017-06-25 19:52:37] →TARA Stephen Russell (Ph1) (+14156019897): I'll be flying to London
[2017-06-26 00:55:03] →TARA NYC Friend E (+19172444234): Yes, I think you should be cautious.. especially because you already know flying is tough on you
[2017-07-07 01:59:03] TARA→ Westchester Friend A (+19147742351): Is this true or false?
[2017-07-07 01:59:18] →TARA Westchester Friend A (+19147742351): False
[2017-07-13 20:48:39] TARA→ Westchester Friend B (+19143277168): I get very paranoid flying
[2017-07-13 20:49:46] TARA→ Arizona Friend (+14803264584): I am very anti flying too I using take my klonipian
[2017-07-22 20:14:44] TARA→ Mom&Dad (Walsh) (+15207305539): Ok! She's lying in bed with me now
[2017-12-22 23:30:34] TARA→ Arizona Friend (+14803264584): He even mentioned flying out Christmas Eve
[2017-12-24 17:20:40] TARA→ NYC Friend C (+19179160439): Maybe he's thinking of flying in.
[2018-01-01 22:51:04] TARA→ Therapist/Counselor (+15165079061): I don't want to mess up the chance to be with him- I just can't allow myself to be disrespected and lied to either
[2018-01-01 22:57:25] →TARA Therapist/Counselor (+15165079061): Then tell home exactly what you shared here: that you hv enjoyed his staying with you and treating you respectfully and that it is difficult to tolerate any lying or disrespect
[2018-01-02 00:10:06] TARA→ Stephen Russell (Ph2) (+14159993944): But I enjoyed having you stay here and treat me respectfully and show some kindness and help. I just can't allow myself to be lied to and disrespected. You put me in an awful position
[2018-01-02 00:27:29] →TARA Stephen Russell (Ph2) (+14159993944): I didn't lie to you. You went through my phone. Made up meaning in a text you dn understand and cast it as a betrayal of a romantic relationship that dn exist. Until you choose to live in the world things will not get better. Your sister is welcome to call me, but it would be a kindness if you woul...
[2018-01-02 00:32:36] →TARA Contact #75 (+14159993944): I didn't lie to you. You went through my phone.

[2018-01-02 18:01:47] TARA→ Brienne Walsh (phone) (+16467971407): Btw it's not true I said anything about withholding the baby from him if we are not romantically involved.
[2018-01-07 22:23:37] TARA→ Stephen Russell (Ph2) (+14159993944): But the other part of me gets you have 100% convinced yourself you have no responsibility in the situation, that you were coned and you owe me nothing. Its obviously not true, but I think it's the only way you can live with yourself
[2018-01-07 22:46:05] TARA→ Stephen Russell (Ph2) (+14159993944): For the most part no- I wish I did. I do think you put an effort into not lying, it's just you change your mind all the time
[2018-01-08 23:48:45] →TARA Brienne Walsh (phone) (+16467971407): Ok that's not true
[2018-01-15 00:08:59] →TARA NYC Friend F (+16464012064): You completely fabricated that in your head but as long as you have peace of mind, go for it!
[2018-01-16 22:34:24] →TARA Mom&Dad (Walsh) (+15207305539): Have u talked to Stephen today. Do u know when he's flying 2 NY
[2018-01-22 19:50:26] TARA→ Therapist/Counselor (+15165079061): Hi Rita- so Steve has been here last couple of days. He is not acting cruel or taking things apart, but he does have a full time security person sitting outside in car watching place. He also has a security details guy named Brian who flew with him from sf and is staying in hotel nearby. I met with ...
[2018-01-25 21:04:16] TARA→ Stephen Russell (Ph2) (+14159993944): I'm in pain uncomfortable even lying or sitting- so right now not in any state to move

[2018-01-30 00:12:04] TARA→ Sister (Walsh) (+16025350894): I'm good just lying here with Evie
[2018-02-02 00:16:03] TARA→ Brienne Walsh (phone) (+16467971407): Ok well I need to stay away from you bc that's not true- I'm not taking any drugs as not prescribed. You have no idea what you are talking about- your being evil
[2018-02-02 14:14:41] TARA→ Stephen Russell (Ph2) (+14159993944): Yeah just lying with Evie on the bed she's super chill
[2018-02-04 00:04:35] TARA→ Contact #91 (+13472043640): At least a few nights still figuring it out. I've got hit with a wave of exhaustion today don't think I've rested enough after surgery so just taking it easy. I'll talk to Steve about paying you anyway for the missed nights bc you probably are relying on the money.
[2018-02-04 03:28:24] →TARA Stephen Russell (Ph2) (+14159993944): You need to simply decide to stop lying and live in the world. Let me know if you do.
[2018-02-04 16:08:15] →TARA Stephen Russell (Ph2) (+14159993944): Stop lying.
[2018-02-04 16:31:04] →TARA Stephen Russell (Ph2) (+14159993944): Stop lying. Apologize for what you did and fix it.
[2018-02-05 19:11:31] TARA→ Brienne Walsh (phone) (+16467971407): That's not true I just read it all- it says nothing about him
[2018-02-06 22:43:27] TARA→ Westchester Friend B (SMS) (+19143277168): That email was totally not true
[2018-02-12 01:45:06] TARA→ Westchester Friend AI (+19145579475): It's just hard bc I'm relying on him and still not talking to my sister
[2018-02-13 01:52:51] TARA→ Westchester Friend B (SMS) (+19143277168): U never replied to my feedback for the website with the black
[2018-02-19 18:25:01] →TARA Kiara Rear ([email protected]): oh ok well if this is not to much to ask could we both have one? Don't worry about replying fast.
[2018-02-23 20:12:05] TARA→ Mom&Dad (Walsh) (+15207305539): He sounded like he just woke up when I called- I was calm and not crying. He said it's basically my fault she's sick bc we are not there which is not true. He hung up the phone when I asked for money to pay the night nurse
[2018-02-23 20:13:10] TARA→ Mom&Dad (Walsh) (+15207305539): But even if I was in tears, which I can be bc I'm going through changes with hormones and I'm extremely tight with money. I spent years flying back and forth with two dogs, which was not easy by any measure. He can fly her to see his newborn daughter a few times
[2018-02-25 19:38:36] TARA→ Stephen Russell (Ph1) (+14156019897): Maybe you should think about flying back with Albert. Now I'm getting upset again - it's so unfair and cruel what you are doing. I didn't ask to do this alone- there is no way we could come in a few days it's literally impossible. And I don't feel safe- it goes against every ounce of my instincts.
[2018-02-26 15:51:13] →TARA Mom&Dad (Walsh) (+15207305539): On plane and flying here not sure I overheard right
[2018-02-27 01:17:34] →TARA Mom&Dad (Walsh) (+15207305539): Send flying stuff to Stephen to read please
[2018-02-27 01:45:00] TARA→ NYC Friend F (+16464012064): I'm like 70% sure I will go on Friday if you want to still come with. The doctors just need to clear her flying. It would be a huge help and it will be fun!
[2018-02-27 22:00:27] →TARA Contact #166 (+13853367340): I completely understand how scary red alerts can be. Your eyes and ears are your best tools in this situation. If you believe the alert was real, I recommend that you contact your doctor and seek for medical assistance. If you believe the alert was false, I can help check sock fit. Let me know what ...
[2018-02-27 22:01:34] TARA→ Mom&Dad (Walsh) (+15207305539): Yeah but then I would rather stay here for a bit longer and spend time with my grandma- I'm trying to remain calm but his mind is made up. I seriously just found out she has terminal cancer- she's been more of a mom to me then my own mother- she reminds me of you actually
[2018-02-27 23:06:56] →TARA Therapist/Counselor (+15165079061): Hi Tara, I agree that it is unwise to go to SF at this time. He is bullying you and I know you had mentioned having to take Evie for tests related to heart murmur. I know you miss him and his threatening you financially to get his way is harmful. If you do go, it is reinforcing that he can successfu...
[2018-03-01 21:18:24] TARA→ Stephen Russell (Ph2) (+14159993944): And that's what I've been the past few weeks- bc what we have isn't a real relationship- you haven't been treating me with love. You've bullied and pressured me into a corner and I can't survive where I am.
[2018-03-01 21:46:59] →TARA Stephen Russell (Ph2) (+14159993944): I am flying the woman I love and my child on a private jet so they can be cared for and Mom gets a much needed vacation in Hawaii. I can't do better than that.
[2018-03-02 21:58:24] →TARA Stephen Russell (Ph2) (+14159993944): He is lying
[2018-03-03 01:26:52] TARA→ Therapist/Counselor (+15165079061): Also the doctors approved her flying by the way
[2018-03-03 12:55:11] →TARA Westchester Friend A (+19147742351): You're flying private.
[2018-03-05 00:39:11] TARA→ Westchester Friend A (+19147742351): Is Matan's Dad definitely in the mossad or could Elan have been lying?
[2018-03-05 00:43:20] TARA→ Westchester Friend A (+19147742351): Yeah lying or yeah in mossad
[2018-03-05 01:17:34] →TARA Arizona Friend (+14803264584): If u never told her you'd be flying back 1st class she def shouldn't be expecting it.
[2018-03-06 23:49:00] TARA→ Contact #178 (+14154248999): Ok I definitely will! Sorry for the false hope
[2018-03-07 01:51:17] TARA→ Stephen Russell (Ph2) (+14159993944): But have fun whatever you are doing- I'm not an idiot and I know you lied both night who you were going out with

To be honest, no client in the 5 years I have had my business ha...
[2018-02-19 01:35:14] TARA→ Stephen Russell (Ph2) (+14159993944): How dare you take back giving me financial support- all you do is create hell situations for me. You just torture me and it's cruel
