I’m not sure if there was any sort of rumblings before it but Howie Carr said Karen Read was going on his show with AJ for an interview. People got upset on TB’s behalf as they felt she owed him the first interview. TB said KR had said she was just popping her head in to say hello. TB had asked Howie Carr to join the interview and he said it wouldn’t work out with timings.
It turned out she spoke for a good few minutes. Then HC’s producer and TB got into a twitter spat, TB said he wasn’t going back on HC’s show ever again.
After that there had been some kinda comments made as TB would sarcastically say KR made him (or something to that effect I can’t remember the exact wording). TB also said he got some “not nice” text from KR the day after his show at the Wilbur.
TB had some problems in his legal team, an account for a long time was targeting his girlfriend Meredith O’Neil and it turned out to be run by a friend of TB’s lawyer’s paralegal. There’s a whole drama around that.
One of KR’s supporters, Olivia, joined TB’s team to help with Bederow’s “mega motion”. Olivia had some sort of online situationship with another FKR person from twitter called Joe Flipperhead. It cooled off, wasn’t talked about.
Not sure what kicked it off - it seems like maybe a football rivalry - but PurpleKoolAid and Joe Flipperhead started arguing and it’s alleged he said Olivia was catfishing him, wouldn’t cam up for 3 months, he went bonkers and contacted her family saying she was dead and her sister in law was impersonating her.
Bederow & TB had a teams or zoom call with her where she cammed up so they told JF she was actually real and he accused Bederow of now being in on the catfish.
Ultimately this lead to Joe Flipperhead sharing screenshots of texts meant to be from KR saying that she had fallen out with TB as someone sent a 30 min recording of their conversation to one of her attorneys. TB denied it but has also said it’s the same text he got after the Wilbur show.
Sean on the gulf, notoriously unreliable former DEA agent posted a clip with a recording but it’s weird and sounds like it’s put together from her angry voicemails.
That’s as much as I know, don’t know if they’ve figured out who is lying or not. I’ll add links to the twitter bits below;
