... Colbie Holderness provided pictures of the abuse she allegedly suffered at the hands of Porter immediately after they got married. The pictures show .. Holderness with one very black eye. "The thing he would do most frequently," she said, "is throw me down on a bed and he would just put his body weight on me and hed be yelling at me, but as he was yelling hed be grinding an elbow or knee into my body to emphasize his anger." Porters second wife, Jennifer Willoughby, also feared Porter. She was forced to take out a temporary protective order in 2010 to keep Porter away from her. She .. thinks Hicks should run from Porter as fast as she can ...
Does she deserve to be slut-shamed and only be identified by her troubled romances? No. Will it continue? Yes, yes and yes. And I dont think the President will rush to her defense. So, run, Hope Hicks, run. Save yourself. Not only from Rob Porter, but from President Trumps obvious disdain for women.

(58,785 posts)association with this astonishing gathering of depraved, predatory...creeps. She reportedly comes from a Democratic background, so she wasn't raised to this.
Yet she's been in the middle of Trump's world since 2015, long before he bizarrely became president. She's seen and supported Trump's enjoyment in humiliating and otherwise abusing those around him. She's worked alongside such dangerous fascistic types as Stephen Miller, Steve Bannon and Seb Gorka. She's had full exposure to a bizarre world where intense immorality, corruption, white nationalism, possibly treason, but overwhelmingly betrayal of duty to the people rule. She could have left at any time but has not.

It doesn't matter what you or I think of that woman: the question is, what facts can we present that drive the country forward
She seems now to work for a self-absorbed sexist bully. And she seems to be involved with a violent man. So she should get out of there ASAP. Maybe if she gets some distance, she'll come to her senses; maybe not. But whether she might deserve some karmic retribution, for being dim-witted enough to be there in the first place, is above my pay grade.
Hortensis
(58,785 posts)she turns out to be, if she chooses is likely to be the life of a well paid and petted celebrity, appearing on TV, perhaps hosting her own show someday, but certainly book deals, public appearances, speaking engagements, etc. Karma totally irrelevant, her experiences can be monetized.

(9,426 posts)her experiences as tRump's "suit steamer"? She steams his suits, while he is wearing them!! Uugg! Her parents must be SO proud. Her taste in men leaves a lot to be desired. Lewendowski is one of her ex's. I wonder if she dated Bannon, too?
Hortensis
(58,785 posts)people I'm wondering about. She apparently works with Stephen Miller, the kind of creature who makes most people reach for the Raid.
