I read the statement last night ( didn’t realise he had put one up on his website) - I don’t believe a word of it. His receipts that Charlotte is lying are bullshit - having gone through the same thing ( the perp was our next door neighbour but one) - I also played “nice” if I bumped into him ( which luckily wasn’t often). Why you may ask? Well because I have been trained to believe that if rape happens then it’s the woman’s ( in my case I was a young teen) fault. I was also in still in denial and also too young to know how to respond to the situation.
These messages don’t mean anything - it just shows that Charlotte was grateful to be included in the tours ( she was more than likely worried that her position at work was in jeapordy) .
It’s also not just Charlotte - there was the other lady who came out in support of Charlotte who had a similar experience . Is she lying also? I highly doubt it. It’s also an insult to the other influencers who have unfollowed him to assume they have unfollowed based on a lie - I can say for sure that at least one ( tea2triceps) will have looked carefully at both sides of the story before hitting the unfollow.
As for the section which he removed “because he felt angry “ about the situation where hoards of women throw themselves at him on his tours?Lets just blame the women- it’s not me at all. I am just a poor unsuspecting man who is not responsible

duck off Macdonald. The problem IS YOU. Not the women who have been unfortunate enough to have crossed your path.


Yes I don’t know what( or who) is ISSN either ?

Yes, I agree. I have a similar story and continued to be nice to him afterwards because I knew him and really just wanted to sweep it under the rug for fear of no-one believing me..

I also have a male friend who was accused of rape but later the girl admitted she was lying and literally broke his world. So I'm sensitive to both sides..

I don't however feel as though this many people are lying in this case.

Is the lady you mentioned the one who said he sexually harassed her in the hotel room? Or is there another rape allegation?

I haven’t read the statement M has put up yet, however I don’t really need to because having experienced first hand what he is capable of, I can pretty much guess what he’s said word for word.

M has labeled himself a megalomaniac, on many occasions.
He has proven year after year that he really is.

M is a sexual predator.
His typical victim profile tends to be vulnerable women who are attending his conferences, doing his course or staff.
Vulnerable in the sense that they have recently become single or are attending on their own, suffering with mental health issues and don’t know many people.

M will also select his victims from DMs of women who ‘fan girl’ him, so he’s making them feel starstruck that this fitness influencer is paying them attention.

His main tactic is to love bomb and compliment you to the point that you feel like the most beautiful woman in the world and feel so special.
He makes you feel that he’s never felt that way about someone before and how lucky he feels to have met someone like you.

He creates this environment that you would do anything for him to keep him happy.
He would say things like ‘if you loved me you would do it’
And asking for naked photos, rude videos, asking you to have threesomes.
M would emotionally blackmail you to get you to do what he wanted, even if that meant you felt uncomfortable and shameful.
When someone knows how to manipulate you, using the right language, the right words - which he does very well!
Even when you are feeling uncomfortable you will do it because he makes you feel like you are doing it to make him happy and special.

M had affairs when he was married.
Telling women that him and his wife Katherine were broken up, but living in the same house for the kids.
He would tell you that he hasn’t had sex for years and that he is lonely.
When in reality - his then wife had no idea that anything was wrong and was married to the man and thought she knew.

There has been other staff members years ago, Holly I think her name was, that was targeted by M and ended up leaving on bad terms due to manipulation and harassment.

Students are targeted a lot my M.
He abuses his position of power with them.
It’s a dangerous and toxic environment.
It’s an environment similar to Epstein and Weinstein.
The man in power abuses his position by making their victims feel ‘privileged’ that they are in his presence.

It’s mentioned in this thread that he’s sent disappearing screenshots to prove his innocence?

What about screenshots, transcripts and photos from over years and years of communication from M, that proves how much of a monster he is?
That his weird obsession of rape porn and women getting abused turns him on?

It’s disgusting how much of an abhorrent human he is.

That part about DMs… I can remember someone asked in the question box once, what’s the best dating app and he said Instagram

This is just sickening to read. How do you know all of this??

Sounds like there’s quite a bit of first hand experience in this thread

he’s been doing this for YEARS

Yes sorry the first paragraph explains that! I'm just so shocked by it all. Gross. Gross. Gross human.

 

[halotophitter]

I wonder if national newspapers will run a story to expose predators in the health and fitness industry.

or if a website can be used to run statements from survivors of M.
Except sharing screenshots and photos and transcripts that aren’t disappearing and can be seen ALL the time.

I do believe that M releasing a statement was off the back of ISSN dropping him from the lineup and the noise of him losing the court case created.

Did Martin MacDonald lose the court case?

It’s the lady who he harasses - is her name Kathryn? ( something with a K? Apologies I can’t recall her name).

I also felt like I would not be ( and I still do if im honest with myself) of not being believed. I still feel the need to justify what happened. No idea why when the reality is he pounced on me.

Did Martin MacDonald lose the court case?

It sadly got dismissed due to a lack of concrete evidence.

The case being dismissed does not equal Martin not being guilty. He can maintain his plea but a magistrate or a jury in crown court renders a not guilty vote. Lack of concrete evidence means a court would not be able to come to a verdict either way.

Sounds like you have had first hand experience of him.

I always got the impression he targets students as he can pay them a shite wage and take as much advantage as possible ( and I thought this when I actually was still following him)

I believe what you say - there is no smoke without fire and I find it hard to believe that so many other public influencers , tattle posters and the women who took a stand against him are wrong and are just out to muddy his name.

 

[Tigger20]

He’s foul.

 

[halotophitter]

The ex staff that he invited to his hotel room to do some work on a business retreat holiday, was Kathryn.
He then played porn in front of her and masturbated.
A manager and business owner to his staff member.
Disgusting and ugly behavior.

Holly - I’m sure was hey name left after having encounters with M I believe and being manipulated to the point of mental breakdown.
Seems to be a common theme between his survivors.[/QUOTE]

Cory Crowley (coco_ryry) was another who left within a month or two of landing her 'dream job' with them.

 

[Inforthecomments]

What was the evidence?

Sorry for the delay. Not sure how comfortable I am posting the other screenshot here publicly but this is one of them. Its made me question things but that’s why I wondered if anyone had seen anything else. I see he’s now added more bits of evidence to his open letter thing.

How exactly is this evidence that a rape didn’t occur?
The name on the WhatsApp could easily be changed and this message from anyone.
It is also very possible to be raped by someone you love.

Where’s the rest of his reply?

 

[Crumpet41]

Where’s the rest of his reply?

I thought the same - why is it just one line shown!? I’d say MM is 100% reading tattle as why is he now publishing “ receipts” ( I use this word lightly). That screen shot doesn’t prove anything ( I assume he is trying to say Charlotte has cried wolf) . Anyone else think he is protesting too loud?

I am also disgusted that he is trying to make out that Charlotte is psychotic.
