So Dijana told you she was divorcing him? When did you hear that? Any other details about hiring an attorney, etc?
Yes, and she told Lloyd that also. He was in Thailand at the time. He was supposed to stay in Thailand for 2 months however when she told him that she wanted a divorce, he came back from Thailand pretty quickly as he doesn't want a divorce. He wants to stay married to her and only visit sex workers "every month or two".
Dijana had spoken to a lawyer prior to telling him that.

JLE, said is wife was at college?
Yes, Dijana is taking a course on something she is interested in, and also felt that it would lead her to a career path for herself, so she would be able to support herself and the girls. It had nothing to do with Lloyd. She worked for many years to support them through the translating business (before Lloyd became an "activist" fulltime, I don't think she would want to go through that again.

I think many of us have been 'victims' of Lloydy Boy's one way or another.
Thanks Kim, I am absolutely kicking myself for not finding this forum sooner.....I feel at safe here which is a huge change xx

I watched your original interview with him from a couple of years ago, before it was taken down. I think it’s a good idea for people who now find the channel problematic to ask for their videos to be removed.
I found his interview with you to be very insensitive. One question in particular he asked you was intrusive and somewhat inappropriate, probably because he was thinking foremost of views and likes rather that you, the person he was interviewing.
Thank you to the very kind person who taught me how to respond to messages, its not quite right, but I am working on it :)
I know the exact question that you are asking and you are right, it was insensitive and I felt very uncomfortable. I had said prior to the interview to a friend that I would not answer any questions like that, however I didn't hold my boundary very well and answered the question. I have grown a lot as a person since then. I asked him to take my video down shortly after this all blew up, and to his credit he did without an arguement.

Listener,
You are correct. Disclosing information wasn’t a decision that I made lightly and I was in a world of shock for many weeks. I tried my best to keep everything I disclosed directly linked to Lloyd’s activism and the community. I also have tried to protect Dijana.
Now that I have had time to reflect and am not getting yelled at as often online I do worry that by staying silent about other matters, I could be band aiding the problem and enabling him.
I also balance that with the “it’s none of our business” argument. Is it in the interest that the community be made aware? Do these things impact the community?
I don’t know the answer to these questions so I have remained quiet ….
Having re-read this and giving consideration to your point, I do see what your saying. I need to give that some thought, but I do take your point. Thank you for the question, you have me thinking. X

Slimboyfat,
I don’t know really. I think it will restrict his participation in government inquiries, media opportunities and activism groups etc and certainly anything to do with CSA.
Lloyd has been quoted as saying that it’s going to take him 2 years to recover from “this damage to his reputation”, which makes me think he is just going to keep shouting down and “cleansing” his channel of anything that could alert new followers/collaborators to the truth about him.
I am a classic example of this, I knew nothing about the AAWA issue, the crisis of conscience book issue, that he was funded by the community for his books and how heavily he has bullied the exjw community and the graveyard of activists that he has left in his destructive path.
If the community listen to those on social media who are accusing people of bullying and being obsessed, and to lloyd who threatens legal action and stop talking about it and holding him to account, then eventually he could rebuild.
I have done what I can to inform the community however if the community does not unite, learn from these experiences and move forward, he will weaken the community and succeed again.
I also worry about people’s attitudes towards other activists like mark O’Donnell. Some people venerate him and now want to move their financial support to him. I see that as handing the weapons from one army to the other and expecting peace.
Of course this would all be completely irrelevant if Lloyd is charged with a CSA related offense, and/or found guilty. If that happened, I don’t think anyone would expect him to survive that.
