00:00:00.000 I'm probably going to jail for this.
00:00:01.780 I don't care.
00:00:02.640 I've stayed quiet long enough.
00:00:03.980 Two and a half years later, I decide to take two DNA tests.
00:00:07.340 Both of them said the same thing.
00:00:08.920 I was not the father.
00:00:10.240 Oh, not 52.
00:00:12.540 When I shared the results, she said that I was lying and that we tampered with the test.
00:00:17.440 Before you can all start believing his shit, some company.
00:00:21.580 Damn.
00:00:22.440 See, you guys would fall for it too.
00:00:24.000 This Asian thing slides in your DMs.
00:00:28.160 Do you guys see the crazy eyes?
00:00:30.140 What up, guys?
00:00:31.040 Welcome to the Audacity Network and welcome to another reaction series.
00:00:35.380 Today, I am going to be reacting to a man having a baby with a woman, but finding out it's not his.
00:00:42.100 Here we go.
00:00:43.080 I'm probably going to jail.
00:00:44.120 Okay, that's when you know a guy's going through it in court.
00:00:46.860 It's when he brings like a file that's like this big.
00:00:49.680 When I did the interviews, I always knew it was going to be a bad story if he's like,
00:00:54.120 I have these binders to prove it.
00:00:56.620 I'm probably going to jail for this.
00:00:58.980 I don't care.
00:01:00.000 I've stayed quiet long enough.
00:01:01.620 A few years ago, I agreed to be a sperm donor.
00:01:04.160 She said she just wanted the baby and not a relationship.
00:01:06.960 I was young and naive and I trusted someone that I shouldn't have.
00:01:10.320 When she told me she was pregnant, I congratulated her and moved to California.
00:01:13.920 I thought that was the end of it.
00:01:15.440 But then she started messaging my mom.
00:01:17.700 She said she had no one and she pressured us all to be at the birth.
00:01:20.960 So we did.
00:01:21.740 We were all at the birth.
00:01:22.700 I signed the birth certificate and I decided to be in the baby's life as a dad.
00:01:27.460 I let her and the baby live in my Airbnb for free.
00:01:29.920 I had to pay child support and she took over $52,000 from me.
00:01:34.000 I thought I was doing the right thing.
00:01:35.340 I thought I was being a dad.
00:01:36.460 She started asking me to be a family.
00:01:38.400 And when I refused, she called me a deadbeat online.
00:01:41.500 And I stayed silent throughout it all.
00:01:44.240 Two and a half years later, I decided to take two DNA tests.
00:01:47.840 Both of them said the same thing.
00:01:49.460 I was not the father.
00:01:51.440 Oh, my 52.
00:01:53.780 When I shared the results, she said that I was lying and that we tampered with the test.
00:01:58.620 Before you all start believing his shit, some company.
00:02:02.880 Damn.
00:02:03.800 See, you guys would fall for it, too.
00:02:05.340 This Asian thing slides in your DMs.
00:02:09.500 I don't even see the...
00:02:11.820 Do you guys see the crazy eyes?
00:02:13.580 With her DNA?
00:02:15.880 That could have been anyone's DNA.
00:02:18.340 She filed a restraining order.
00:02:20.200 A judge silenced me and made me remove all my posts.
00:02:23.300 Based on Maria's claim that I was actually the father.
00:02:26.500 Here is the court order DNA test that I had to request.
00:02:30.080 And it confirmed again, I am not the father.
00:02:33.760 And while I was silent, she kept going.
00:02:36.160 She was changing dates on photos, spinning stories.
00:02:39.500 Manipulating people online.
00:02:41.020 Some people believed her.
00:02:42.120 But while she was doing that, I was uncovering the truth.
00:02:45.600 Connections, manipulations, lies.
00:02:48.200 And the truth about who the real father is.
00:02:54.820 Guys will always play 4D chess.
00:02:57.420 This is just the beginning of Maria's web of lies.
00:03:01.820 Dang.
00:03:02.400 Okay, let's go.
00:03:03.100 Part two.
00:03:03.740 Here's part two of Mossad.
00:03:06.260 Apparently, I've been in a full-blown relationship I wasn't even aware of.
00:03:09.960 Maria and I had a one-night stand on December 12th, 2020.
00:03:13.560 She was in her 30s and I had just turned 24.
00:03:16.040 And let me say this slowly to the people in the...
00:03:18.260 Yeah, that's what they do.
00:03:19.520 The older women.
00:03:21.660 So what they do...
00:03:23.520 Look, so if there's a good woman who's older, let's say, she can still compete, not with
00:03:30.340 the men her age, right?
00:03:31.360 She's aged out.
00:03:32.560 But of the men like 15 to 20 years older, right?
00:03:35.660 That's when you see like that...
00:03:37.200 Like that's the women that play things on smart mode.
00:03:40.460 You know, they just keep...
00:03:41.560 They age out of the men their age.
00:03:43.740 They just keep going older, right?
00:03:45.300 The 30-year-old can date the 50-year-old.
00:03:47.360 Boom.
00:03:47.720 Problem solved.
00:03:48.640 However, the ones that can't do that because the 50-year-old...
00:03:52.460 Once a guy hits 50, he can identify batshit crazy, right?
00:03:57.120 They can figure it out.
00:03:58.500 That's when they start going for the younger guys that don't know better.
00:04:03.580 So they become prey and the women are the hunters.
00:04:06.560 On the back, we were never in a relationship.
00:04:10.360 She wanted more and I didn't.
00:04:11.860 So instead of taking the L, she turned into a full-blown homie hopper.
00:04:16.020 Like back-to-back.
00:04:17.080 Wasn't even discreet about it.
00:04:18.180 She just went down the roster like it was her job.
00:04:20.560 I guess the logic was, if I won't date her, maybe I'll change my mind after I watch her
00:04:24.140 hook up with all my friends.
00:04:26.920 Bold strategy.
00:04:28.240 It didn't work.
00:04:29.300 And in case you think I'm still lying, her own cousin confirmed that we were never together.
00:04:33.460 I'm sorry, Hadley.
00:04:34.680 I know you hate this picture, but this is the time that Maria asked me to be a sperm donor.
00:04:38.560 So she doesn't want to do IVF, and I'm convenient because we've already slept together once.
00:04:43.240 She says she wants nothing from me, and instead of doing the smart thing and walking away,
00:04:48.080 I said yes, because I was 24 and apparently thought the best use of my time was becoming
00:04:53.660 a discount sperm donor for someone that I wasn't even texting back.
00:04:58.280 I was sticking with the wrong head, obviously.
00:05:01.680 She said, no strings, no drama.
00:05:04.040 I just want a baby.
00:05:05.020 I was like, sounds easy enough.
00:05:06.180 I can do that.
00:05:06.860 I really thought I could just sleep with her and help her get pregnant.
00:05:11.940 Yeah, okay.
00:05:12.820 Then go back to business as usual.
00:05:14.740 Like, thanks for stopping by.
00:05:16.440 Good luck with the whole parenting thing.
00:05:18.440 Top tier dumbass behavior.
00:05:20.720 I own that.
00:05:21.600 I know it.
00:05:22.320 But I genuinely believed her when she said it would be simple.
00:05:25.040 No drama and no strings attached.
00:05:27.460 That's not what happened.
00:05:28.500 That's the dumbest thing ever.
00:05:33.700 At least he's admitting it, though.
00:05:35.420 He's like, yeah, that was stupid.
00:05:37.200 Okay, let's look at part three.
00:05:38.780 Someone told me I got her pregnant the same day she got her period, and then accidentally
00:05:42.280 exposed herself on TikTok three years later.
00:05:44.980 May 7th, 2021, Maria gets her birth control arm implant out.
00:05:49.160 She's from my hometown, and she was living in New Orleans at the time, so she could only
00:05:53.100 be here on the weekends, so she came in town the next two weekends, May 14th and May 21st.
00:05:58.740 We partied with my friends.
00:06:00.080 She stayed over.
00:06:00.980 She had someone take these pictures, and then later tried to use them to prove we were in
00:06:05.600 a relationship.
00:06:06.780 We weren't.
00:06:07.440 What was I supposed to say?
00:06:08.540 Don't take a picture with me?
00:06:09.720 And then I went to California.
00:06:11.460 While I'm there, I posed with another girl, Whitney.
00:06:13.580 She's only a friend, but Maria didn't know that.
00:06:15.500 Maybe she got jealous.
00:06:16.620 I don't know, but what she did next will never cease to amaze me.
00:06:19.920 On June 6th, 2021, Maria gets her period.
00:06:23.400 She knows I didn't get her pregnant, and she also knows I'm about to move across the country.
00:06:27.880 So she invites me to brunch, and she tells me she's pregnant, fully knowing that she's
00:06:32.660 not.
00:06:33.320 Then she starts drinking, like a lot.
00:06:35.580 We then leave and go to another restaurant and meet up with my friend Dylan, and she also
00:06:39.660 tells him that she's pregnant.
00:06:41.520 Dylan and I think it's weird that she's drinking, but she insists it's okay.
00:06:45.160 Here's the proof that this video is on June 6th.
00:06:47.380 This video is dumb, but it shows two things.
00:06:59.480 Maria was drinking, and I made it very clear that I was leaving.
00:07:02.720 And that's important because that brunch, that's the last time I ever saw her until the
00:07:07.280 week before the baby was born.
00:07:08.860 Here's how we found out that she was on her period when she told me she was pregnant.
00:07:12.300 Here's a photo she posted to TikTok to try to prove we were in a relationship.
00:07:19.720 She changed the dates from the photos, but we'll get into that later.
00:07:22.700 Then she posted this one.
00:07:24.440 I then tell my girlfriend, who's a nurse, that she took that photo the day that she told
00:07:28.780 me she was pregnant.
00:07:29.760 And I had these like, hold up.
00:07:31.240 There's no way.
00:07:32.660 Let me see that ultrasound photo again.
00:07:34.440 So we pulled the ultrasound that she sent my mom.
00:07:36.700 The ultrasound was done on January 17th, 2022, and it showed that she was 32 weeks in one
00:07:42.400 day.
00:07:42.880 I've since learned that pregnancy is calculated from the first day of a woman's last menstrual
00:07:48.240 period.
00:07:48.900 And if we count back 32 weeks in one day from January 17th, 2022, we get June 6th, 2021,
00:07:56.000 the day she told me she was pregnant.
00:07:57.820 And we didn't sleep together that day either.
00:08:00.040 Since she never saw me after that, that means that she knew from the beginning that I was
00:08:04.180 never, he was just the only one dumb enough to sign the birth certificate.
00:08:09.220 I bet she did this to like five dudes.
00:08:12.100 Furthermore, here's proof that I'm in California, the only weekend that she could have gotten
00:08:16.280 pregnant.
00:08:16.960 She trapped me before there's even a baby.
00:08:19.160 And the crazy part, we probably would have never found out if she wouldn't have posted
00:08:23.560 the photos.
00:08:24.300 She exposed her own line and it only gets crazier from here.
00:08:28.060 How can it get crazier than this?
00:08:30.240 Here's how I ended up the birth of a baby that I was only supposed to be a sperm burner for.
00:08:34.700 July 12th, 2021, she confirms that she's actually pregnant.
00:08:38.500 We only found that out later when she started posting on TikTok.
00:08:41.440 But at that time, she kept quiet from July 22nd through July 26th.
00:08:45.580 She's not on TikTok exposing all your secrets right now at this moment.
00:08:54.720 She would never do that right now.
00:08:57.180 You got to treat your woman like a terrorist because you don't know.
00:09:00.240 She, she's never done that before right now.
00:09:04.280 I was with my friend Whitney.
00:09:05.860 She met my mom and she posted it on Facebook.
00:09:08.320 Maria didn't know she was just a friend and based on what happened next, I think she got
00:09:12.460 jealous because not long after, Maria starts messaging my mom.
00:09:16.040 Hello.
00:09:16.860 Hey, mama.
00:09:17.640 The night, I guess, that we first met, I guess it was that night at the half show.
00:09:22.660 One of the first things after we introduced ourselves and sat down, I can completely, you
00:09:28.000 know, remember her saying to me that she hoped that I didn't think that she took advantage
00:09:33.500 of my son.
00:09:34.200 And of course, I gave her quite an answer to that.
00:09:37.700 We went on to discuss and she mentioned, you know, how, I guess she was impressed with
00:09:43.500 you to be so young and so successful at that age.
00:09:47.200 I can remember her mentioning your house and all your toys.
00:09:51.120 From that point on, Maria started pulling my mom in deeper.
00:09:54.300 She would ask for baby pictures of me and she told her mom that baby's going to look just
00:09:58.700 like me.
00:09:59.280 She made my mom feel important and needed and when Maria told her that she had no one,
00:10:04.140 my mom felt pressured to come to the birth.
00:10:06.540 She told me if something ever happens to her, I want you to raise the baby.
00:10:11.180 And I just remember thinking that the girl has no one.
00:10:14.240 By then, my family was...
00:10:15.780 If she's got no one, it's for a reason, right?
00:10:19.340 It's for a reason.
00:10:20.660 No one wants to be around.
00:10:22.420 They were planning to be at the birth and I was about to be too.
00:10:24.960 My mom tells me that Maria told her she has no one coming to the birth, no family.
00:10:29.360 No support.
00:10:30.200 She's scared and she really wants me to be there.
00:10:32.380 Like, do you know how bad you have to be as a woman that no one wants to be around you?
00:10:35.600 Because we're the center of attention below...
00:10:39.020 I don't know.
00:10:39.560 Let's even be so generous today.
00:10:41.700 Let's say below 40.
00:10:43.000 We're still the center of attention in every room because there's someone that's trying
00:10:46.620 to do it.
00:10:47.240 Do you know what I mean?
00:10:48.140 So if you're below 40...
00:10:49.720 She was still cute, right?
00:10:50.980 You guys...
00:10:51.500 It's still a wood from you guys.
00:10:53.100 Um, I know.
00:10:54.360 I know you fellas.
00:10:55.340 Um, so how bad do you have to be as a woman when people are fighting to be in your life
00:11:00.720 all the time?
00:11:01.540 Like, men are trying to give you money.
00:11:03.040 Men are trying to take you on dates.
00:11:04.320 But even then, they're like...
00:11:05.980 Like, everyone's like, ooh, you're that crazy.
00:11:08.140 So, I booked a flight on February 23, 2022, and it's $677, and I sent Maria the screenshot.
00:11:16.500 By this time, Maria has already had two separate baby showers and never posted anything about
00:11:21.680 it.
00:11:21.860 Not one bump photo, nothing.
00:11:23.440 And then, a few hours after I booked my ticket, and on the same day that I sent her the screenshot
00:11:27.440 confirming I was going to be at the birth.
00:11:28.980 And at eight and a half months pregnant, that is the first time she ever posts that she's
00:11:33.180 pregnant.
00:11:33.440 And she uses my last name.
00:11:35.720 She waited until I was fully in, and then she told the world.
00:11:38.840 She didn't just lie.
00:11:39.920 She made sure the lie had backup.
00:11:41.600 The day the baby was born, I was there, and I was the first person to ever hold the baby.
00:11:45.960 And I just remember thinking, this is what it feels like to become a dad.
00:11:49.060 I didn't care about anything else in that moment.
00:11:50.760 My parents are there, posting about how they're grandparents again.
00:11:53.440 And then, the nurse comes in, and she brings in the forms for the birth certificate and the
00:11:57.820 acknowledgement of paternity.
00:11:59.020 I can hear the older men in the chat saying, don't do it!
00:12:06.340 He did it.
00:12:06.880 I signed everything, because I thought the baby was mine, and Maria knew I wouldn't.
00:12:11.140 After the birth, she scheduled a full-blown newborn photo shoot.
00:12:14.640 She posed me holding the baby, and they would jump in the photos.
00:12:17.560 She had my dog in the photos, too, and had already ordered a bandana that said Big Brother.
00:12:22.000 She shared the photos online, but I had no idea, because I was already blocked on Facebook.
00:12:25.620 She was posting pictures of me and the baby, making it look like we were this perfect little
00:12:29.760 family.
00:12:30.440 And while I'm across the country, she's messaging my childhood friends.
00:12:33.800 She's asking my best friend Dylan and his girlfriend Megan to babysit, and they do.
00:12:37.960 She starts asking my friends and family if they want to be the godparents.
00:12:41.140 She didn't just ask one or two people, she told multiple friends they might be chosen.
00:12:45.440 Literally, this is what my brother posted of me, the baby, and my friends.
00:12:51.900 He joked, the godparents who didn't make the cut, and Maria liked the picture.
00:12:56.400 At first, she kept things peaceful and calm.
00:12:59.160 It's like she didn't want to risk pushing me away too fast.
00:13:01.720 Once I was settled into this nice little world she created for me, that's when she started
00:13:05.460 to tighten her grip, and that's when the real abuse begins.
00:13:09.140 Part 5 coming tonight.
00:13:10.460 You don't realize it's abuse when there's no bruises, but she didn't need violence.
00:13:14.540 She used my love for the baby to control me.
00:13:16.800 She waited until I was all in.
00:13:18.300 Once I settled into my role as a father, once she knew I wasn't going anywhere, that's when
00:13:23.240 it changed.
00:13:24.440 The control started small, a comment here, a demand there, but it escalated fast.
00:13:29.760 It was Easter 2022, and I flew home to see the baby.
00:13:32.560 I spent nearly $900 on flights.
00:13:35.000 My whole family was at the house.
00:13:36.320 My parents, nieces, uncles, aunts, cousins.
00:13:39.520 I blocked off my Airbnb, and I hosted everyone, including Maria and the baby.
00:13:43.720 At first, things seemed normal.
00:13:45.200 She was upstairs drinking, talking with my mom, being friendly.
00:13:48.760 I was downstairs with my cousin, just hanging out.
00:13:51.100 The more she drank, the more her attitude started to shift.
00:13:54.260 There was this edge to her, you know, sharp glances and short responses.
00:13:58.260 I could feel it building.
00:13:59.640 Then, out of nowhere, she leans over the upstairs balcony, clearly drunk, and screams down at
00:14:04.320 me in front of everyone,
00:14:05.200 Get your ass up here and take care of your child.
00:14:07.720 My mom says this is the first time that she saw it.
00:14:10.500 That Maria expected something from me way beyond what we agreed to.
00:14:13.980 For me, it was the first sign that if I didn't do what she wanted, she would humiliate me
00:14:18.980 in front of everyone.
00:14:19.860 After that day, things shifted, subtly at first.
00:14:23.140 But every time I didn't respond fast enough and give her what she wanted, she would use
00:14:26.960 the baby against me.
00:14:28.180 May 16, 2022, she asked if her and the baby could stay in my Airbnb rent-free.
00:14:33.220 I don't answer right away.
00:14:34.520 A few hours later, she threatens to take the baby away from me, so I say yes.
00:14:38.420 She moves in.
00:14:39.280 I cover rent, utilities, internet, everything.
00:14:42.020 Meanwhile, I can't rent it out during peak season.
00:14:45.160 I'm losing money left and right, but I tell myself it's worth it to stay in the baby's
00:14:48.840 life.
00:14:49.500 August 2022, I come back again, so I have to drive an hour each day just to see the baby,
00:14:53.700 and then an hour back just to sleep to my parents.
00:14:56.060 I keep showing up.
00:14:57.180 I keep complying, because by now, it's clear.
00:15:00.220 I push back.
00:15:01.240 I lose access.
00:15:02.380 After she moved out of the Airbnb, the control didn't stop.
00:15:05.320 She texted me, this is what I want from you.
00:15:07.140 She wanted me to start paying the full daycare amount, even though there was no court order
00:15:11.300 in place.
00:15:12.020 And in exchange, she said that I could have the baby every other weekend if I stayed at
00:15:16.180 my parents' house.
00:15:17.160 I've never been arrested.
00:15:18.340 I didn't use drugs.
00:15:19.640 I've never been violent, abusive, or even raised my voice around her.
00:15:23.420 There was no court ruling, no concern from a judge, nothing.
00:15:26.980 It wasn't co-parenting.
00:15:28.440 It was control.
00:15:29.320 My access to the baby came with conditions that she made up as she went.
00:15:32.880 Then, about a week later, she posted a photo on Instagram with the man that we now know
00:15:37.400 is the dad.
00:15:38.580 Just something to note.
00:15:39.540 We'll get into that later.
00:15:40.680 Then came the baptism.
00:15:41.840 We talked about this in my first video, but here's a quick recap.
00:15:44.880 I drove a 14-hour round trip just to be there.
00:15:47.400 The night before, she asked me to come hang out.
00:15:49.660 I said no.
00:15:50.440 I didn't want to give her the wrong impression.
00:15:52.200 So she told me I wasn't allowed to come to the baptism just like that.
00:15:55.720 I didn't fight it.
00:15:56.580 I just let my parents go instead.
00:15:58.280 I was just trying to keep the peace.
00:15:59.620 By summer of 2023, things took another turn.
00:16:02.880 Now, it wasn't just emotional pressure.
00:16:04.920 It was legal.
00:16:05.840 I was overwhelmed, and hiring an attorney felt too expensive.
00:16:09.100 Plus, I had no reason to question fraternity.
00:16:11.460 Maria told me if I didn't just sign what her lawyer sent, she would take me to court and
00:16:14.980 get $1,400 a month in child support and $16,000 in back pay.
00:16:19.500 I felt trapped.
00:16:20.380 In those same messages, she said that she didn't want to go in front of a judge.
00:16:23.940 Looking back now, that feels important.
00:16:25.860 I agreed to pay $750 a month and $10,000 in back child support just to avoid a legal battle.
00:16:33.040 I didn't think I could win, so on August 21st, I wired her $10,000.
00:16:37.100 You'd think that once the court order was in place, things would settle down, but they didn't.
00:16:41.820 If anything, the control got worse.
00:16:43.620 I made my first court-ordered child support payment on November 1st.
00:16:47.560 Less than two weeks later, she's calling me names, refusing to let me keep the baby overnight,
00:16:51.660 and demanding more money again.
00:16:53.800 Even simple visits came with strict conditions.
00:16:56.320 When I tried to coordinate a time to see the baby, she laid out impossible rules for a pick-up and drop-off.
00:17:01.460 She told me exactly when, where, and how, and still refused overnight visits.
00:17:06.480 She insulted me in one breath and demanded child support in the next.
00:17:09.640 I gave her extra money, $30 here, $250 there, all outside the court order.
00:17:14.820 I was trying to avoid conflict and trying to stay in the baby's life.
00:17:17.780 Then, out of nowhere, she texted me that she wants to be with me.
00:17:20.680 I told her gently again, that's not what I want.
00:17:23.540 Days later, she posted photos of me and the baby at her house on Christmas morning, like we're a happy little family.
00:17:28.740 By early 2024, it felt like there was no line that she wouldn't cross.
00:17:32.580 February 1st, I make the court-ordered child support payment on time.
00:17:36.200 On Valentine's Day, I posted this photo while I was out to dinner.
00:17:39.020 I wasn't even in town, wasn't my girlfriend, just a night out.
00:17:43.020 Maria saw it and immediately started freaking out, texting that I should have taken the baby to dinner instead.
00:17:49.220 Then, she said, keep this up and I won't let you see her anymore.
00:17:52.700 I sent her $100 for a Valentine's dinner for her and the baby, just trying to avoid another explosion.
00:17:58.780 March 1st, I pay again, $750 in support, plus $31 extra for dance class.
00:18:04.560 Again, not court-ordered, just trying to keep the peace.
00:18:07.240 Then, she posted-
00:18:08.120 Holy shit, she is milking the F out of him.
00:18:12.320 Birthday photos.
00:18:13.600 Thanking our family and best friends for coming to celebrate.
00:18:17.140 We don't share family or best friends.
00:18:19.440 She just went out of her way to find my family and friends, message them, and inserted herself into every part of my life.
00:18:26.220 I paid for the birthday party, $364.
00:18:29.300 So, she didn't need extra money.
00:18:31.220 However, the next day, she demands the child support payment 26 days early.
00:18:36.320 When I say no, she tells me to die and says I'll never see the baby again.
00:18:40.260 The next day, I sent her $156.
00:18:42.820 Not because I wanted to, or resorted to by the courts, because I felt like I didn't even have a choice anymore.
00:18:47.660 Then, she posted even more birthday photos, this time at dinner with my family, like everything was normal.
00:18:52.880 I guess because I paid her, she was happy.
00:18:55.360 By this point, I was drained financially, emotionally, mentally.
00:18:59.220 She controlled when I could see the baby, how much I paid, what I was allowed to post, and how I lived my life.
00:19:04.660 And every time I pushed back, she would punish me for it.
00:19:07.620 It didn't matter how much I gave, she always wanted more.
00:19:10.060 And I didn't think it could get worse.
00:19:12.160 But then, I met Hadley.
00:19:13.520 And for the first time since meeting Maria, I was in a real relationship.
00:19:17.160 An actual one, and it was serious.
00:19:19.560 Part 6 of Maria's Web of Lies will be up tomorrow.
00:19:22.060 Oh, no.
00:19:23.540 Narcissists who built giant platforms on TikTok for being such amazing, kind people.
00:19:28.440 They were narcissists too.
00:19:30.000 Specifically, Hadley.
00:19:31.780 A girlfriend who was a nurse, tampered with the test result.
00:19:34.920 But Nurse Hadley lost custody of all her children.
00:19:37.060 Okay, I want to take a moment to address the people saying I'm a clout chaser for addressing this again.
00:19:43.520 This became an entirely different battle for me when they attacked Hadley.
00:19:46.240 When I originally shared my story to clear my name, Maria, through her cousin, came online and spread horrible lies about Hadley.
00:19:52.140 They said that she lost custody of her kids, that she was a felon, and that she tampered with the DNA test.
00:19:56.760 None of those things are true, but so many people believed it.
00:19:59.500 I watched the person I love cry while strangers made videos about her.
00:20:02.760 They review-bombed her book without even reading it.
00:20:04.820 And despite all that, she still stood by me.
00:20:07.260 So yes, I came with a literal binder of receipts.
00:20:10.100 And I'm going through it in order so they can't twist things again.
00:20:12.720 Because it's one thing to hurt me, but it's a whole other thing when you're attacking the person that I love.
00:20:17.400 Hadley and I met at the gym, and we went on our first date on March 20th, 2024.
00:20:21.540 About a month later, I brought Hadley to lunch with my mom.
00:20:24.440 My mom told us about Maria texting her recently.
00:20:26.760 Maria was saying that I was selfish, that I wasn't allowed to see the baby anymore,
00:20:29.920 and that she didn't want the baby to grow up like me.
00:20:32.120 Hadley said she can't do that.
00:20:33.620 There's a court order.
00:20:34.440 Because Hadley knew the system, she'd already been through it herself.
00:20:37.860 On June 8th, we spent the day with the baby, Hadley's kids, and some close friends.
00:20:41.680 We played cornhole, we went to a birthday party, and even had-
00:20:43.840 Dang, he went to a single mother next.
00:20:45.980 He can't learn.
00:20:46.760 I hope this is different, I just wouldn't bet on it, do you know what I mean?
00:20:51.540 I had dinner with friends that night.
00:20:53.120 It was just a good day.
00:20:53.960 But when Maria found out that the baby and I were at Hadley's house, she lost it.
00:20:57.760 She texted my mom saying I'll get to play house with her daughter.
00:21:00.900 It's an interesting choice of words considering how the story ends.
00:21:03.600 Maria demanded that I call her immediately, or she's going to call the police.
00:21:06.660 I had to leave the baby with Hadley and her friend to go to another room so I could call Maria down.
00:21:10.400 Soon after, I go on a bachelor trip that was planned months in advance.
00:21:13.660 While I'm gone, Maria jumps on Facebook and has a full-blown meltdown.
00:21:16.700 She says I'm absent from the baby's life and that I skipped town on Father's Day.
00:21:20.520 I'd just seen the baby a few days ago and already had a flight booked to be back on Father's Day.
00:21:25.020 But reality doesn't stand a chance when Maria opened social media.
00:21:28.440 Her post was public.
00:21:29.540 No matter how many times she claims, it was only friends and family.
00:21:32.520 This little globe icon says otherwise.
00:21:34.640 There's no way it was only her 5,000 close friends and family.
00:21:38.540 Hadley saw it, her family saw it, probably half the state saw it.
00:21:41.660 She called me a deadbeat.
00:21:42.720 She said that I'd put my dick in anything that walks
00:21:44.700 and accused me of shoving hot dogs down my throat for Instagram likes.
00:21:48.020 Which, honestly, is pretty funny.
00:21:49.360 But the real kicker, she ends it with,
00:21:51.260 the truth is coming out and I'm not afraid to share it to the public anymore.
00:21:54.520 She's all about freedom of speech until someone else starts talking.
00:21:57.540 Anyways, she doesn't answer my calls or texts on Father's Day,
00:22:00.140 so I don't get to see the baby.
00:22:01.460 I'm not even shocked at this point.
00:22:02.920 On June 20th, we head to the Bahamas for Hadley's brother's wedding.
00:22:05.940 My parents were supposed to keep the baby for the weekend,
00:22:08.220 but at the last moment, Maria asked if she could keep the baby instead.
00:22:10.920 I said, sure, trying to keep the peace.
00:22:12.500 Naturally, two seconds later, she's texting my mom.
00:22:15.320 She's saying that I chose my girlfriend over my daughter.
00:22:17.780 And now she's going back to court for full custody.
00:22:20.180 My mom calls her out and says exactly what everybody else is thinking.
00:22:23.320 You've micromanaged his every move,
00:22:25.000 he's never bashed you publicly,
00:22:26.240 and you've wished him dead more than once.
00:22:27.980 And she was right.
00:22:29.140 So it's June, and according to the court order,
00:22:30.860 I'm supposed to have the baby for the whole month.
00:22:32.620 But as usual, Maria was picking and choosing what rules apply.
00:22:36.040 June 25th, this is what her family loves to twist.
00:22:38.960 The infamous Lowe's incident.
00:22:40.480 Here's what actually happened.
00:22:42.380 The night before, on the phone, Maria told me that I could pick the baby up from school in the morning.
00:22:45.800 So I did.
00:22:46.680 We ran some errands, grabbed lunch, and then we went to Lowe's.
00:22:49.500 While I'm there, I text her and ask if I can keep the baby overnight.
00:22:52.500 She calls me immediately.
00:22:53.940 Her response?
00:22:54.840 Not thanks, not sure.
00:22:56.180 It's, is Hadley with you?
00:22:57.660 I said yes, and instantly she flips.
00:23:00.420 She says that she's coming to Lowe's right now.
00:23:02.840 I was like, no, you're not going to make a scene in Lowe's.
00:23:04.700 I'll just drop Hadley off, and then I'll bring her back to your house, like we planned.
00:23:08.820 I hang up, and then I reiterate what I said of the phone through text.
00:23:12.800 I put away my phone while I'm driving.
00:23:14.360 I check my phone when I park at Hadley's house.
00:23:16.320 Apparently, Maria's at Lowe's now.
00:23:18.240 I had multiple missed calls from my dad.
00:23:20.200 I call him back, and he tells me that Maria has called him.
00:23:22.900 And apparently, she was running up and down the aisles at Lowe's, screaming that her daughter had been kidnapped.
00:23:28.240 Oddly enough, her family doesn't deny this part.
00:23:30.500 They just said that I didn't enter the phone for hours.
00:23:33.420 The drive from Lowe's to Hadley's house is 17 minutes.
00:23:36.760 I call Maria back, and she starts making threats.
00:23:39.140 Hadley tells me to hang up in texture because I need this in writing.
00:23:42.300 That enrages Maria, but we'll get back to that soon.
00:23:45.280 Regardless, I brought her back with no issue.
00:23:47.340 On August 5th, Maria lets me see the baby again.
00:23:49.540 A few days later, she comes inside Hadley's house.
00:23:51.780 She meets Hadley's kids.
00:23:53.020 She goes into their bedroom.
00:23:54.440 She even played dolls with one of her daughters for a minute.
00:23:56.820 Then, when she comes back to pick the baby up, all three of Hadley's kids are there.
00:24:00.240 Standing at the door, waiting by.
00:24:02.160 And this is the same woman that went online and told people that Hadley lost custody of all of her kids.
00:24:07.080 She knew that was a lie.
00:24:09.040 She met the kids and stood in their home.
00:24:11.240 That wasn't confusion.
00:24:12.460 That was strategy.
00:24:13.740 Maria knew that if she could convince people that Hadley was a terrible person,
00:24:17.140 the attention would shift off of her, and the truth wouldn't matter anymore.
00:24:20.420 She wasn't trying to defend herself.
00:24:21.960 She was just trying to take Hadley down because she was helping me.
00:24:24.940 And they hated her for it.
00:24:27.140 They knew she had a platform.
00:24:28.000 They knew that people online love to cancel large creators.
00:24:31.460 So, they made her the target.
00:24:32.840 Because that was easier than answering for what they had done.
00:24:35.940 On August 10th, I did the first DNA test.
00:24:38.200 That video and the follow-up after will be next.
00:24:40.460 But for now, people have said that Maria only shared stuff privately on her Facebook to family and friends.
00:24:45.620 That's just not true.
00:24:47.220 But even if those posts were private, they weren't.
00:24:50.120 Explain this.
00:24:51.120 Maria and her friends were in Hadley's comment section months before I made a video.
00:24:54.980 They were harassing her and spreading lies, trying to bait her into saying something back.
00:24:59.240 How they didn't respond, she just deleted it and moved on.
00:25:02.080 Meanwhile, they're in her comments saying that I was behind on child support,
00:25:05.240 and that she moved me into her house after only knowing me for three months.
00:25:08.140 For the record, none of that is true.
00:25:10.180 But they weren't interested in the facts.
00:25:11.980 They were interested in turning the internet against her.
00:25:14.280 Before I ever said one word.
00:25:16.620 And I sat there with the DNA results in my hand, knowing everything they were saying was a lie.
00:25:20.980 And that's when it really hit me.
00:25:22.040 This wasn't just about controlling me anymore.
00:25:24.780 This was about making sure no one ever believed me.
00:25:27.460 And if they had to ruin Hadley to do that, they didn't care.
00:25:30.440 On October 8th, I finally posted the truth.
00:25:32.800 I shared the DNA results, I told my story, and I kept it factual.
00:25:36.360 And immediately, Maria's cousin Michelle jumped in to Hadley's DMs.
00:25:40.520 She said, you're the problem.
00:25:41.940 Brett was never this confident until you were in his ear.
00:25:44.740 He never questioned anything before you.
00:25:46.460 And there it was.
00:25:47.480 It was never about the DNA test.
00:25:49.140 It was never about co-parenting.
00:25:50.420 They were just angry because I was not easy to control anymore.
00:25:54.140 And Hadley, she was never the villain.
00:25:56.040 They just hated that someone finally gave me the strength to stand up for myself.
00:25:59.500 And what really blows my mind is how many creators took their side.
00:26:03.280 Even after Michelle publicly posted that she ever saw Hadley, it was on site.
00:26:08.020 She wasn't even hiding it.
00:26:09.180 She was threatening violence, admitting to lying, and openly trying to destroy her.
00:26:13.100 And instead of calling that out, these creators amplified it.
00:26:16.440 They didn't ask any questions.
00:26:17.820 They didn't look at any of the facts.
00:26:19.660 They just picked up the pitchfork and joined in.
00:26:21.860 So if you're one of those people who helped them do it, you didn't just get it wrong.
00:26:26.600 You helped abusers keep their power.
00:26:29.120 I'll be waiting for an apology.
00:26:31.180 And you'll be waiting the rest of your life.
00:26:33.880 So, okay, I guess he went through all of that and found out that the kid wasn't his.
