Mom extorts Dad with surreptitious videos taken in his own home and after feeling drugged
Mom's side of the story is riddled with inaccuracies, shifty storytelling, and straight-up lies. These are their truths.
The Truth: Mom surreptitiously recorded and took photos of Dad in the privacy of his home. She then used these videos to extort him.
Mom recorded videos and took photos of Dad in the privacy of his own home and during medical examinations. Once caught she hid under the guise that she might "show him" how he was behaving. These recordings, made without consent, were illegal.
Not only were the recordings illegal in their creation, the myriad of purposes that Mom used them for were also highly illegal – she extorted him, she claimed she was going to use them to write a book, she was sanctioned for refusing to produce them, and she offered them to known con men.
Members can see the evidence for themselves:
The Lie: Mom secretly recorded Dad to "help" him and to "show" him.
The Lie: Mom never intended to release the videos.
The Truth: Dad did not know he was being recorded.
This is illegal under California Recording Law:

- She also set up hidden cameras in Dad's San Francisco home in March 2017. This was the same month Dad tested positive for Lithium.

- She claims the videos might be "useful" in their case.
The Truth: Mom threatened to release the videos if Dad did not drop the civil case and give her more 'child support.'
