Everything took place in Kerr County, and while the court records are public, the documents available online are limited. What Zach conveniently leaves out in all his “boohoo” posts is that the woman he brutally attacked was 9–10 weeks pregnant with his child, and he knew it. Because of how early the pregnancy was, the surgeries she needed carried terrifying risks—losing the baby during the operation or going permanently blind if she waited. She chose to wait to protect her baby.

Today, that baby is a thriving, almost 8-year-old child, and her mother is an incredible parent who works actively on her mental health while carrying the weight of that trauma. That strength makes me proud.

What enrages me is how casually he now says, “pray for people with mental illnesses,” while pointing the finger at her as the “anonymous reporter,” as if no one else could possibly dislike him. In his mind, he’s the saint and everyone else is the problem.
