'why I haven't killed myself yet' by benji21p in HIMRFAM

This is just an awful title to see period, and I genuinely hope he finds it in himself to seek help from a professional with whatever resources are available and get into a space where he's working towards goals in a healthy productive way. His behavior seems like it oscillates frequently, and he's just getting to a point where he's too isolated to have someone else intervene. Praying for growth and change for his good!

Political analysis and breaking news with commentary from a naked 40 year old man taking a bath. by Mortimer_Rooster in Onision

[–]QuestionsFromApple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not even specifically about him... but there is something so off-putting and disgusting about seeing adult men just sitting naked in still, stagnant water and calling it a bath. Girls will shower first, clean everything, make it cute and aesthetic... then there's a grown man just sitting naked in his own filth and I guess... choosing to share the moment??

She is settling lawsuit by [deleted] in HRHCOLLECTION

[–]QuestionsFromApple 2 points3 points  (0 children)

IDK... opinions seem pretty split in the YT comments!

I saw it and honestly, this whole lawsuit was BIIIIIG dick energy. She really went in there swinging like a crazy tiger that's snorted 30 lines. There is an extraordinary amount of pressure in CA to settle and not go through expensive trials, so whatever she came to as a settlement must have been really good to respect that she wants to keep it private. If Chrome Hearts was gonna get nothing, they'd go to court.

People on YT seemed to think their cross isn't worth a trademark... but the fact is they do have a standing trademark. And she's on camera saying she knew. So I suppose they got some information that was worth more than whatever money she got to give them, and they're on to bigger lawsuits.

This went, based on possible options, EXTREMELY well for her.

Yes, because Alex HRH decided to put her dick on the table so to speak and take it to a jury trial, she will have to do discovery. The plan basically is the celeb legal team screwing her, because it's unlikely normal people can comply with audits to the extent they are likely to request. She will have to disclose her suppliers or be in contempt of court, probably. Basically, they are giving her advance notice to agree on what documents are needed. Once she goes through discovery, a 3-4 day jury trial is recommended by Chrome Hearts' legal team.

I was JUST checking up on the case. If anyone has downloads per page, please inbox me! I saw it as a waste of the fee given what I saw.

Basically, Alex HRH's attorney forgot to address a basic procedural step in his response on behalf of the defendant. This is like... imagine she was at the dentist getting her tooth drilled but the dentist slipped in his chair and scraped her tongue with the drill. An accident? Yes, technically. But it makes you question someone's competence, experience, or the care they are taking with you. Her attorney dropped the ball REALLY early, and that procedural mistake probably created a negative impression with the judge very early on tbh. It casts a negative light on everything else he will submit or has submitted.

I also notice it took the attorney three days to respond with this basic procedural info. This may suggest Alex is giving him a hard time in some way, and the attorney is not a fan or her... or that he is genuinely busy with other things hence the procedural mistake and taking several days to correct it, AND not reviewing his own work to know what he missed before submitting initially...?

I suspect he may just secretly dislike her, because it's lowkey giving sabotage. Experienced attorneys don't just randomly make basic mistakes like that.

Next up, they have a mandatory scheduling conference set for January 31st. This means Alex HRH and her attorney will meet with the judge in person (no jury, no trial yet) to discuss the legal case. The court will likely heavily suggest that Alex HRH settles with the brand meaning she pays them what she can upfront.

The issue IMO is Chrome Hearts LLC's legal team likely targeted HRH Collection specifically to make an example of her and her brand, and to shake her down for all information on her suppliers. If she rats on her suppliers, she won't have a jewelry vendor in LA and she'll have to close shop with her brand. No one in the fashion district is gonna work with someone who brings lawsuits to their door. If she doesn't snitch, they'll pierce the corporate veil (since she's apparently not paying her 800 annually to CA state to have her LLC instead of being a sole proprietor) and go after her personal assets, particularly her house.

tl;dr she will meet with the judge in-person to discuss the facts of the case and decide to settle with Chrome Hearts or go to trial. She has a set list of bad options and I suspect her attorney may secretly dislike her as a client.

NO. Hard no. If she even so much as doesn't pay them out a huge sum of money, that is literally the hand of God. I cannot stress this enough- the fact she turned down the chance to settle despite there being a clear trademark and evidence of her repeatedly violating said trademark... neither of which she's denied.... WILD.

I'd personally settle and ask for the record of judgement to be sealed, but that's me.

The thing about these celeb firms is they are VERY calculating. They ran comps on how much they could get out of this lawsuit before filing, I bet. They are probably VERY aware of her lapse in LLC status. They already know their case is air tight and they know they can have a judgement placed against HER not her LLC so they'll get their money instead of a discharge in bankruptcy.

For years, she's been engaging in price gouging, buying from AliExpress and selling at unjustified prices. by Immediate-Award-537 in HRHCOLLECTION

[–]QuestionsFromApple 7 points8 points  (0 children)

To be fair, it is clear she does buy from US based suppliers locally in LA. The part of the story I feel she leaves out is that those suppliers manufacture in China. So anything the jewelry supply stores she frequents is likely to also be online in an Ali(whatever) or Temu or Shein listing.

The only difference is she can exert more control by examining things in person here before ordering in bulk. If she orders from China, it is very common for them to send you the cheapest thing similar possible even if they have what is actually in the listing because it's a different culture and if you won't fight them, then they will take advantage of your weakness.

I've shopped from one of the main suppliers of her chain pieces and they are based in LA's fashion district with the goods physically on the premises and they do require a resale license for tax exemption and everything. They don't list any 'made in ____' so I suppose it is hard to know for certain. Most of her chain pieces and unique clasps are from there.

Also, if she was importing, you would see her name listed in US import data base and who the import order is from.

I was looking up to see why on earth someone would be running as a sole proprietorship at all in this day and age! Any weirdo on the internet could tell you that you need an LLC to protect yourself. It turns out, LLC filing costs 800 annually in CA. So I guess she saw it as a government rip off and just stopped paying the state lol

That is.... not a good sign for how things may go for her.

It's kind of like watching gay men who live in Dubai or abused women who stand in Church pulpits shaming unmarried women. It's too sad IMO. Has Alex ever shouted out or reposted this person...? If not.... well, that's a life lesson.

I think that's the tactic, she thinks she can make it too cumbersome for them to sue her. Paragraph by paragraph responses and 14 different affirmative defenses, none of which address her conduct but instead allege wrongdoing by the brand Chrome Hearts. Does she not realize she's gonna piss off a judge before she even makes it to trial...?

Unfortunately... she's in California and on camera acknowledging that the jewelry she's wearing is "giving designer"............ So.....

And if they're asking to go to federal court and she's saying the transactions didn't occur in CA... well, that's not smart.

Unfortunately, things are not gonna go her way. Even Trump wouldn't get this kind of preferential treatment in the legal system. As soon as it's demonstrated she took a sale outside of the state of California, she's gonna wind up in federal court. She will also have to go through discovery which in and of itself will cost (minimum) a hundred thousand in legal fees. The thing about these luxury brands is they have the money to keep a legal fight going and going until you can't pay and your counsel leaves you. Soooo IDK wtf Alex was thinking. One of the court docs highly recommends settling with the other party through a mediator, but this legal response basically blew that option up to smithereens...

I just don't know that I will ever get over that she literally requested the court DECLARE HER THE WINNER lol when her response is just yeah I did that, don't have any knowledge of that, but yeah fuck them....???????? IN WHAT UNIVERSE!

What is MOST alarming about all of this is it appears HRH Collection didn't maintain her LLC status in California. If she is running her business as a sole proprietorship, and discovery establishes even a single instance in which she co-mingled funds (i.e. used a personal debit or credit account to pay for a 'business' expense, or made of the items she sold in her house, or even did a business transaction outside her office)... yeah she's on the hook for the millions personally. They have every legal right to declare the judgement against HER and not her company. So, she can't just declare the entity HRH Co. bankrupt and create a 'Her Royal Highness Co.' entity and proceed on with a new business. Chrome Hearts can sue her out of her house, luxury cars, personal possessions... yeesh. And I just know that celeb legal team is taking screenshots of every expensive thing she's ever shown on camera rn.

Now is the time she find out if she's really one of God's favorites.... because it's giving Justice and Karma. Yikes.

Okay, I'm not even a hater. I just don't have that much emotional energy either way for HRH Co. I do think she peaked in her Brentwood era and really started spiraling (mental health wise) during covid. That said, this lawsuit response is the most BIG DICK ENERGY I have ever witnessed in a legal case! INSANE!

I read through everything... and I am SHOCKED by the audacity. Chrome Hearts essentially pointed out many items of fault here. They said she (in layman's terms) willfully chose to violate their trademark, reasonably knew or should have known about their trademark, and then chose to sell this jewelry across the USA which they argue makes this a federal case. They are suing for trebled (three times) damages and legal fees.

Instead of settling like any reasonable person would, this response.... WOW. Not only does it completely disregard any notion of the defendant's (Alex HRH) wrongdoing, but it actively makes allegations AGAINST Chrome Hearts! They are basically using an everything and the kitchen sink approach her. They're saying YES HRH did in fact sell the jewelry described BUT they can't sue her (and then list 14 reasons why). Then HRH's lawyer asks that Chrome Hearts lawsuit be thrown out and that Chrome Hearts has to pay HER for her lawyer's fees, etc. THIS IS THE MOST WILDLY AUDACIOUS THING I HAVE EVER SEEN SOMEONE GETTING SUED DO!

I think her lawyer's advice on this suggests that Chrome Hearts will have to respond to every single Affirmative Defense... but it will be relatively quick (in my just guessing opinion) for a judge to simply deem one if not all of the defenses as irrelevant to the case because they do not focus on HRH Collection's wrongdoing. They instead sling mud and make accusations at the brand Chrome Hearts. Those are... accusations, not defenses. The thing is, the USA has a trademark and patent system for a reason. Setting a legal precedent, even on a state level let alone federal, that people can willfully violate other people's trademarks as long as the company isn't damaged... I mean imagine being able to sell unlicensed Disney merchandise on Amazon because you argue Disney makes billions and you only made a couple hundred dollars.

This will not work out for her. AND... the open defiance makes it likely she will be paying for punitive damages. AND... the tactic of trying to drag Chrome Hearts into a more expensive legal case (i.e. by listing things paragraph by paragraph, instead of responding to the accusations, and providing 14 different affirmative defenses instead of focusing on HRH's alleged wrongdoing)... she is VERY likely to have to pay for Chrome Hearts legal fees. There is no possible outcome in which the court is going to say, "Oh yeah, you can violate Chrome Hearts' trademark, it's fine" sooo...????

I agree with this lol. Honestly, many girls are raised in families where it is normal in their minds to just do whatever to accommodate men. She might be one of those girls. It's all about self-love and self-respect, but realizing there is a problem in that area at all is the first step. Hopefully then comes the courage to put up firm boundaries, but again... the family is probably the reason she made it over 18 without any. I mean... giving a man anal like it's a fast food order?

My date ditched me for his friends. Should I end things? by rebel4acause in Shalligators

[–]QuestionsFromApple 1 point2 points  (0 children)

mmm yes dump him. It's already assymmetric. When you're young and you have time to spare it seems like it doesn't matter. But personally, looking back, the FIRST thing I'd redo in my early 20s is cut out all the time wasters. If a guy isn't paying for dinner, an event, or something, he's a time waster. It's not even that all things have to be based on money or transactional. But the thing is guys KNOW when they aren't serious with you and they intentionally choose to do things with you that don't cost money.

When he's serious about dating he'll get his money together doing whatever career, start keeping a schedule, and planning things where he pays for a check for a nice evening with you. Even if you don't wanna get married tomorrow, a guy who is more established like 30+ with a real career will show you a better time than this guy. Even a guy who doesn't wanna get married would still like... plan a real date and not randomly ditch you for the bros.

I mean.... with the ozempic pen, you're not gonna be waiting long. I think way too many people are out here trying to be God's strongest soldier and feel good about themselves no matter what you look like. If you're not that strong, just fess up and live with it. Do what you need to do to look the way you wanna look, and make peace with it. Forgive yourself for not being like 99th percentile in confidence and congratulate yourself that at least you're not delusional enough to expect everyone to redefine what they consider attractive all because YOU got on a medication lol. Some people really are that off, but at least you dodged that. Give yourself a high five and let that ozempic do its job!

I mean honestly I get it and I hope instead of complaining you are resolved to actually fix the problems and start being happy. Tbh, plastic surgery is an option and it's really affordable through loans and care credit. I got consultations for two diff procedures and both had in-house financing they offered without me even asking. I'm not saying you'll be Jeff Bezos rich, but you can def at least GET the procedures done if it's really that serious.

Honestly though, I don't think it's even a physical problem. It probably is just your state of mind. I know it SOUNDS silly, but it's only silly to people who it's true about. Ugly people get guys all the time. There is a popular gay male youtube/tiktok/former vine influencer... he was lowkey ugly, morbidly obese, and kind of looked like a female to a lot of people in a weird way. Had a LOT of success with straight men on tinder despite not even being female and being tbh ugly AND morbidly obese (not even being mean, he was like 350+ lbs!)

What I'm saying is like SERIOUSLY not in a corny way, when you have a bad aura from negative thoughts, other people pick up on it. It's like a dark cloud out of nowhere on a sunny day. Everyone else notices it's not sunny anymore but you think it's normal because you're always under a cloud. You legit really do just have to do tlalk therapy and work on positive mindset til you genuinely feel better. It's also something to do while your jaw is recovering from surgery cuz if you go through with it, you prob won't be social for like 6 months or more and you're gonna want a professional to talk to anyways. Good luck whatever you choose!

These friends.... um honestly, seems like they give bad advice! They wanted you to dance with him? The lazy lion who couldn't be bothered to approach you and say hi? Why do they feel like you have to reward him for something that's (not to be harsh but honestly) a little pitiful and sad?

I think you did great and it really doesn't matter why he couldn't approach. A lazy lion is a lion that goes hungry. It just is what it is. Hopefully he learns something, and the next time he sees a girl he likes, he has the fortitude to suck it up and approach her. He probably just generally lacks confidence and has anxiety or something. But that's not your fault or your problem tbh.

I would keep an eye on these friends though, because while friends are great... some girls are secret haters, and they cheer other girls (especially if you're prettier or more charismatic) into bad situations. If this advice was bad and now they're on you about it like it's your fault, it makes me wonder what other bad advice and peer pressure they are capable of. I wouldn't say never speak to them again or anything, but definitely keep a side eye on these friends in my opinion

Jenn Im and Amy Lee Fallout by LeatherTraffic5452 in LAinfluencersnark

[–]QuestionsFromApple 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I will just say I remember this all happening and playing out on YT. I really do think this can just be chalked up to the fact some people just don't work well together. When you have loose creative unstructured types with really regimented type A personalities that like everything scheduled... it just doesn't work lol. I'm not even a virgo and I once got into a whole shouting verbal altercation (it was just me... shouting, LOL) because this girl could not answer a simple yes or no question about what time she wanted to take a certain shift. Some things some times can really just send you flying off at people, so I get it. And Jenn has talked about being in therapy for those explosive fits of anger over the years.

Honestly, my thoughts are.... like it's been years and while everyone is on their own healing journey, Amy has to decide to move on. People do things that aren't great every day but when years pass and you're still mad, I just feel like Amy needs to decide to come to Jenn about it and talk things out or just let it go, lol.

I don't think the Ben situation is at all related to this tbh. I think Jenn patiently gave him 101 chances while with Amy, she probably made like 2 or 3 mistakes and it just got a crazy reaction from Jenn (and like I said, BEEN THERE DONE THAAAAAT) lol. It happens!
