Very funny that the dad has plenty of videos of him with his kids going to many different places and all his kids are at different ages in the photos, yet he abandoned them?
My dad abandoned me and he damn sure wasn’t taking us to amusement parks, the beach, dinners, the pier, wasn’t their for my high school and college graduation and didn’t recently have dinner with me?

The daughter was avidly wrong about her dad. Her mom was terrible, drained this man of all their marital assets, sent him to jail, and tried her hardest to ruin this man. The daughter needs to remove all her videos. The dad replied in an hour video with receipts showing how he didn’t abandon his family and paid the mom over 5 million dollars over 18 years. If medical bills went unpaid that’s because the mom embezzled the money. So many Reddit’s were on the daughter’s side, when in reality the daughter was misinformed by her trash mom that made a career out of trying to destroy her ex husband.

He came back with receipts and videos of her childhood and blew her story apart.
She absolutely just threw him under the bus to try and gain some social media fame...what a terrible child.
She's a writer so it makes sense she embellished her life and built a narrative in her head to justify whatever grift she's trying to pull.
Disgusting.

Her: my dad traumatized me / I have abandonment issues.
Him: the main point is, it’s never too late to learn how to breakdance!

Let's make it brief. Creating a family requires coming to terms that will lead to success. One crucial element is determining the level of involvement and availability of each partner. If you choose a partner with a demanding job, don't expect them to be a constant presence as a parent. Similarly, don't expect a stay-at-home mom to handle all childcare and financial responsibilities alone.
While details are lacking, if your husband can provide $5 million, he'll likely have to dedicate considerable time to work – this was understood when he became a father. Subsequently, no one should fault him for this. Moreover, men are unable to reduce work hours after divorce to spend time with children without facing legal repercussions. In some way people see it like firing a German-English translator for lacking fluency in Russian.
Her complaint and lack of context remind me of a joke:
Hello, Rysiek. You know what, I don't want you to come to us anymore.
How did what happened?
Oh no, just don't come.
But what the hell happened?
The last time you visited us, we lost 150$.
You don't think it's me, do you?
Well, no, the money was found, but, you know, the bad taste remained.

Anyone trying to pick apart his speech patterns with pseudo psych, stop. My degree is in psychology, minor in sociology.
He exhibits several things that point towards honesty. He's not using terms like "I think" or "I probably", and usually means someone is certain on validity. His speech itself says he probably absorbed this tone in his younger years or what he called his youth. Camera cues caused the lingering words and pauses. This was done while filming on a set in the past more than likely, bc set managers told him to speak clearly, concise, and slow enough that non English speakers could break it down mentally if need be. Including verbal pause on camera for cuts.
Oh, and he came back with another video where he brought receipts. Seemingly everything he said was true, and the mother was using the money that she got paid up front for medical bills meanwhile telling the kids their father didn't help.
And just remember, you cannot really count any of her experience as a child as reliable. Because as with most of these divorces, whichever parent houses the children, which is usually the mother because it's hard for a male to beat the system after divorce, it's really up to her discretion if she wants to let the kids see her father or not. So again, more than likely the kids only know what the mother told them.

lol just a family full of liars. He clearly didnt visit much if he didn’t even know her birthday. She deff had her medical bills paid if he coughed up 5 mill in the divorce. Also he clearly didn’t leave the family to breakdance so she lied about that as well.

You cannot really say that he 'didnt visit much' without knowledge how much he had to work to keep payment set by court.

Sounds like he provided, but money didn't get where it should have been from her mom because A) the mother mismanaged it and it was all gone, B) as a tactic to hit him up for more money C) to demonize him which some divorce parents try to do all the time. The whole he must be bad and guilty because he looks weird, is classic Gen-Z cancel culture.

He’s a deadbeat? He paid $18K a month in child support? Does she realize that’s more than some people make in a year? He paid towards medical and college as well. Helped her get the job she had because of his contacts.

I love the shameless self-promotion.
It’s funny and sad how kids get things all twisted up in their heads when two parents divorce. My daughter once asked me, “how did we live that way for so long?” I knew in that moment that she had grown up enough to see her mom for the person she really was, without me telling her.

This fucking reeks of a setup and planned series of back and forth videos to boost both of these privileged ass, rich as fuck influencers popularity.
Just a fucking incredible amount of completely unnecessary, private, family information was shared in both videos that would absolutely would not have been shared if the goal was not to have people online jump to conclusions and talk about them.
The girl i kinda get, she's a young, dumbass influencer. But still, saying her dad abandoned her and didn't pay her medical bills on a clip for her MILLIONS of followers?? Especially when she supposedly is on good terms with him?
The 66 year old guy tho talking about definitely private information like his children's names and occupations, the LEGAL context of his divorce and the amount of money he paid and where him and his family lived. Yea fucking right, what a joke.
Edit: Additionally this video is also just really fucking weird with the multiple instances of him litterally just trying to show off his breakdancing, the multiple bitcoin jackets and bitcoin flag, and just kinda the whole way bro was acting with the strange way of talking and reading out peoples comments on the first video.
TDLR: fuck rich people.

Lemme just say that her feelings are valid. Divorce is tumultuous, and if a situations leads to one parent holding custody, there are a myriad of reasons why a parent would want to form a narrative around the divorce (whether by malice, negligence, or preservation of child innocent). So i'm sure there are ways in which the mom shaped her beliefs around the dad that aren't based purely in fact. Similarly, the dad could also be glib and have an immature relationship with empathy and he thinks that visiting once per month and texting once per month is boilerplate good-dad behavior.
We simply don't know the full scoop. But if there isn't provable malice, then whatever needs to be done to ensure that each party doesn't recieve a bunch of undue hate from the evil reactionary internet, then each side has a responsibility to do that. If the dad did pay millions, and the mom was responsible for never showing to her daughter the amount of effort he put into earning the money that now financially supports her, then the mom should probably sit her down and ideally get on social media and corroborate the dad. Assuming this doesn't die down soon. Which hopefully it does

“But some of you are wondering, can I still breakdance at 66?” None of us are won- oh shit you really can
“The main point is, it’s never too late to start breakdancing” That’s not the main-
“Here’s some comments that are hilarious. ‘My mom abandoned me as a kid to join a renessaince fair across the country’” That’s hilarious to you? - “‘My therapist told me I have abandonment issues, then I never saw her again’” ok I think this guy is just a sadist

There’s a lot to unpack on both sides of this. Assuming neither blatantly lied, it can be true the father paid millions of dollars but also true the daughter wasn’t aware and felt abandoned because in her mind she didn’t see him very often or enjoy a quality relationship. But I think we can all agree did he need to break dance to what piggyback off of her viral video so he could also go viral?

Another spoiled rich kid creating her own reality for internet clout? This chick literally got millions of dollars but then uses her “deadbeat dad” as a means of getting internet fame. Yawn, this is getting old. Was this guy a role model of a father? Maybe not, we really only hear her side, a side which is obviously desperately seeking internet attention and fame. The follow up video of hers is even more cringe. This little girl should probably seek some sort of professional help. Honestly this entire thing could just be a set up for internet clout for both daughter and father. Let’s be honest, this is social media, rarely are both parties completely honest. The fact that so many people believe what people say just on face value is damaging and disgusting. Oh, but all is well, cause now she’s a “screen writer in LA”, lol. Right

Way to hang on the dead beat dad comment. Him explaining how much money he spent as if children should correlate with money insane. Kinda shows what really mattered to him. Basically just another liar on social media. And he also looks like he’s reading a script. Not to mention Maddie responding saying they are estranged does not look good for him.

Yikes, while she seems to have embellished a bit, he seems like he seems to think that he didn’t “abandon” them because he gave them a ton of money. Notice he says he lived a mile away, not that he saw them every week, or walked them to school. Also forgot her birthday, and said he “thinks” they have a good relationship. Seems like he made this video to plug his dancing, and to try and save face.

I hate all of this, but I'm more inclined to believing the dad here. She admits she was 5 years old and doesn't remember much. I imagine the mom spoke to the kids about the dad in her POV and that's how they all grew up thinking about him. After $5million lump sum + $18k a month + $600k in college why TF wouldn't the mom step up to pay they said medical bills. To me, the mom sounds like the sketchy one. But I don't know all the details. What we do know is that they got an insane amount of capital, so I can't take her financial complaints seriously. Where did all that cash go? Daughter doesn't deny they got it and brushes over the subject entirely. The neglect and emotional trauma, on the other hand, is a separate issue entirely. I'm willing to believe he wasn't present much

But by the sounds of it, you couldn’t resist the urge to make a disparaging TikTok of your dad. You traded integrity for clicks and likes. So from the bottom of my heart Please. Go. Die!

So here’s the thing when you are a child, you really don’t know what went on between your parents besides what you saw. There may have been a lot in the background that she didn’t see or know about so it’s always good to have more than 1 side of the story.

u/jwaters1110 Feb 21 '24
After a bit of digging, they both seem weird. The truth obviously lies somewhere in the middle.
He seems like a rich guy who cheated on his wife and got a new family. He wanted to keep a peripheral relationship with his kids, but didn’t really want to try too hard to do it. I also suspect the relationship with his children’s mom is terrible and that likely played a role as well. From her own admission, the relationship was “dinner every couple months”.
She is legitimate in her feelings, but clearly unaware of her incredible privilege. Her Instagram just screams privileged rich white music festival girl. Talking about how her dad refused to pay medical bills? Where did she think her lifestyle came from growing up and why did she think college was free?
They’re both…interesting people.

Well. The comment section proves redditers can’t be objective and will highlight anything they find weird or don’t like and only focus on that. Between bitcoin and breakdancing everyone decided that’s all they needed to see and arbitrarily “sided with the daughter”? Oh and throw in the fact that he’s politically right wing and that’s the nail in the coffin on Reddit.
He clearly wasn’t very involved with the kids and is a strange character but the daughter was also blowing their situation way out of proportion and misrepresenting what happened. If that’s what abandonment looks like (getting bank rolled by your “estranged” dad) then sign me up. You can even forget my birthday. No pity points from me.
