…pretend he's a swell family man instead of the reality - someone that abandons them when he wants to visit hookers.
This is precisely what he is doing. He’s been fundraising off of his family for years and has ramped it up since he has gotten exposed. This is coming from a man who actually had the nerve to accuse people of attacking his family in the days following his revelation of embarrassing details of their sexual relationship. His mention of his wife needing a job and possibly being laid off (and by extension his children suffering) was likely responsible for 1/2 of the new patrons if not more joining after that begging video.
The Lloydgate account on Twitter posted all sorts of screengrabs of him tweeting at the Australian govt., Qatar Airlines, KLM and just downright bitching about the possibility of his wife’s visa being delayed and how his family might not join him in Australia. It’s rather important to know what was going on behind the scenes since we now know he would have not minded going without her, perhaps even welcomed it since it would have given him opportunities to seek out sex. But he complained anyway about his wife not going because it fit his narrative that he was so devoted to them.
It is so disingenuous of Jabba the Hutt to keep planting his flag on the myth of him being a “family man”. We also know from that Dijana email that he only interacts with his children when it is on his time and when he desires it. When he’s scrolling dating sites they are simply a nuisance. Even when he does engage he emotionally manipulates them by crying in front of them in order to deflect blame towards their mother.
He’s hardly any benefit to his children. He’s just an emotional parasite.
