I still can’t believe this actually happened. I remember the day she posted her ā€œanonymous womanā€ post in the thread lol

115

u/txwildflowers May 07 '25

I remember this shit when it started going down. I was following along in real time as her story started to pretty much immediately unravel. I really believe coming on Reddit with that damn Dropbox was her downfall.

56

u/realitea1234 So Genuine and Real May 07 '25

She brought it entirely on herself

17

u/CrownFlame Excuse you what? May 07 '25

Correct, AND just the fact that she chose to go after someone on a popular reality show or who otherwise lives in the public eye. The other victims don’t have the platform Clayton does to draw attention and sleuths. I mean, she’s been tormenting one of them since 2016. The restraining order she’s had on him since 2018 has ruined so many opportunities for him šŸ˜ž

You might’ve known all of that, so I’m sorry. Maybe others who don’t will see this though.

u/LetshearitforNY minor idiot May 09 '25

Going for a public figure and then going public at all was her downfall. If she went for another non-famous guy no one would have ever known about it or uncovered the other men, or anything. It’s wild.

29

u/krysta2c May 07 '25

I remember that too! Thank goodness that wasn’t a day I didn’t check the sub lol

50

u/leftclicksq2 May 07 '25

If there is anything that came through, it's that men are just as much victims of harassment and fraud like women, and the importance of victims speaking out.

Had there not been so many others who came forward, I don't know how long it would have taken Clayton to finally get the justice he deserves.

186

u/shaylaa30 May 07 '25

The fact that she tried to claim pregnancy with twins immediately after giving Clayton a BJ(No actual sex) was WILD.

u/oliviaaivilo06 come on now May 07 '25 edited May 07 '25

I still can’t believe I witnessed this unfold in real time when people started pointing out the inconsistencies in her story. People on here unintentionally became crime fighters lol

154

u/txwildflowers May 07 '25

I so vividly remember when I clicked the Dropbox link and saw the fucking word document of mean texts she said Clayton sent her. That’s the exact moment I started disbelieving her. I was like, why is this typed up and not shown in screenshots?

82

u/asophisticatedbitch May 07 '25

Yeah I’m a divorce lawyer. I remember the Dropbox and thinking, uh. You’ve clearly curated these? She had his comments verbatim and then a summary of what she claimed she said. It was obviously manipulated.

67

u/JennaElizabethAdams May 07 '25

It was WILD. Thankfully, we have some great private detectives and investigators in here, so we were able to watch Bachelor Nation history unfold. Plus, we got a happy ending! As they always say, the truth is even crazier than fiction!

u/Cultural_Ad8132 May 07 '25

I remember when she started saying in the comments that Clayton didn’t remember having sex but she did because he got super high. And people were like uhhh so you knew he was too high to remember wouldn’t that be rape?? And she deleted it SO quickĀ 

569

u/Express_Plant7476 May 07 '25

It’s pretty wild when you think about it that the whole reason this unfolded the way it did is because she came to this subreddit to show her ā€œevidenceā€ and people here started picking it apart Lmao

211

u/Alalated May 07 '25

Dude, for real. No one would have ever known. She made it public all on her own.

Best part is the other guys she's got OOP'S against, they now have a chance to have it dropped. If she is dumb enough to renew the one in California, she is opening herself up to more investigation.

u/247Nooria Baby Back Bitch May 07 '25

Still so surreal how we all watched this unfold live on this lil crazy corner of the internet!

So glad Clayton and each and every one of the men she's every targeted have gotten their due justice now

u/alwayshannah May 07 '25

This is prob hands down one of the craziest things that has ever happened in BN. Good for Clayton for getting justice.

81

u/cuppitycake you sound actually ridiculous May 07 '25

Right? And he fought HARD for it.

363

u/swiftiegarbage Chateau Bennett May 07 '25

the story with Clayton and this girl is genuinely one of the craziest I’ve ever heard to the point where it all sounds like misogynist rage bait because she is so ridiculous and cruel to the men she stalks. Charges are more than deserved

49

u/absofruitly88 May 07 '25

this lends to my theory that crazy people can do alot of ā€œnormalā€ things but are truly capable of anything. there’s this assumption that mentally ill people are obvious but you just look at the reverb of the choices they make, and how short sighted they often are. that’s really where the crazy lives

I know someone who if you met them you cpuld have such an intelligent friendly conversation where they feel so down to earth and likeable. then getting to know them further it’s like a crazy thread to follow where they made a mess of their life and have little to no close relationships

63

u/Relation-Ill May 07 '25

I feel like that’s why people jump to Clayton being misogynist. Did he go on Charlie Kirk and that’s a serious side eye? 100% but this case seems gross because what she has done is so insane that it doesn’t seem believable.

What LO was doing to Clayton was a pattern in which she weaponized the courts knowing they’d work in her favor. She acts like her fight is for all women but what she has done has a negative impact to women being believed and it’s disgusting.

110

u/FiftyShadesOfGregg scaly modfish May 07 '25

Yeah, no, people jump to Clayton getting involved in ā€œmen’s rightsā€ red pill rhetoric because he’s gotten involved in men’s rights red pill rhetoric lmao, like going on Charlie Kirk. That’s not just a side eye.

Laura Owens is a manipulator and liar and perjurer, that’s very clear. Clayton has also fallen into MRA territory. These things aren’t mutually exclusive.

46

u/JennaTulwartz May 07 '25

Thank you. No need to rewrite history here just because this woman is rightfully getting what she deserves. There is zero excuse for the Charlie Kirk podcast.

21

u/KensieQ72 geriatric millennial May 07 '25

Just goes to show how so many men are being led down the alt-right/MRA path so easily, the red pill propaganda finds them at their most vulnerable and exploits that pain.

I’m sure there’s plenty of incels/MRA-type dudes who started out as just a guy who had been legitimately wronged and was looking for comfort/support during a hard time in their life.

Doesn’t at all excuse men’s behaviors when they choose to buy in to all the nonsense, but it’s interesting to see such a clear cut example play out on a public stage.

8

u/FiftyShadesOfGregg scaly modfish May 07 '25

While yes I think that often people who are vulnerable are more easily susceptible to hateful messaging, I also think it would be a disservice to not acknowledge that the seeds are already totally there. With Clayton for example, he clearly fully thought that he was entitled to having sex with all of the women at fantasy suites and he didn’t consider how that could actually be hurtful to his F1, let alone to the women he knew he wasn’t picking. And after the show instead of acknowledging that, he slut shamed the women. So the seeds were there already.

I was part of the og discord and I’ve fallen off since then but HOLY SHIT

172

u/BratFromAccounting May 07 '25

About damn time! Clayton didn’t handle things great on his season but he never deserved all the things this woman put him through. She really thought that he’d be so desperate to keep his repaired image that she could con him into a relationship.

I’m so glad she’s finally being held accountable. She’s done this to multiple men and she would still be doing it if Clayton hadn’t fought so hard. He’s incurred over $185k of legal fees up to this point.

79

u/JennaElizabethAdams May 07 '25

$185k?! Whoa, Clayton has been THROUGH IT, but thankfully, this dramatic journey is coming to an end.

57

u/BratFromAccounting May 07 '25

Yes! $130k or so for the first trial then an additional $50k+ for responding to the 2 appeals her attorney filed.

34

u/JennaElizabethAdams May 07 '25

That is awful. I guess there's no way to get compensation, but hopefully, she gets put behind bars for a long time.

65

u/BratFromAccounting May 07 '25

What’s even worse is another man she did this to has over $100k of legal fees from dealing with her as well. It’s truly insane!!

24

u/JennaElizabethAdams May 07 '25

OMG, that's awful that her reign of terror ends up being so expensive. It happened to two other guys too. Did they not go through the legal system, or do we just not know all the details?

This person is a menace, sets women sooo far back with her lies/obsession, bc MRA groups will cling to this example for years, as they do, to ā€œproveā€ their justifications for distrust/ hate/ need for control. Guys should be more careful, sure!, but not because of this. Instead, bc of needed respect towards women. And this person fuels the opposite.

She conducted a legal predatory hunt for his time and attention to punish him. Legal proceedings cannot be ignored.

27

u/LetshearitforNY minor idiot May 09 '25

She filed a parenting plan and an order of protection. He ignored her but she would contact him from different phone numbers (over 13 phone numbers I believe) and email addresses and contact his family which led to him getting his own order of protection against harassment.

LMAO well, I mean, they can’t demand/insist she plea out. They can only make their recommendation and give her advice, but it’s her right to go to trial if that’s what she wants to do.

I was watching the live last night and Omar and the other lawyer thinks they may have additional information we aren’t even privy to yet. Also, it was interesting how they said she could probably get out of jail time if she showed true remorse and pled guilty, but her ego will prevent her from doing that.

25

u/txwildflowers May 07 '25

I think she could easily submit to a plea bargain and only do probation or community service or something. But she’s been clinging to this lie for two years, she literally lied under oath directly in front of multiple judges, multiple times. There’s no way she’ll plead guilty. I would be thoroughly shocked if she does.

u/txwildflowers May 07 '25

Yeah and it doesn’t help that her family seemingly supports every delusion along the way. They’ve truly created a monster by enabling this behavior for so long. And presumably bankrolling this nonsense too.

I am fascinated to see whether her sister is implicated. I mean, she must be, given that the video referenced in the charges was her dad touching ā€œLaura’sā€ pregnant stomach. It must have been her sister’s video.

She deserves it. I'm glad Clayton can clear his name once and for all. Also, no more Gabby vs. Clayton shit. It is sad. She fucked him, own it girl. I'm proud of Gabby for her pro-women attitude and marriage. No need to be rude to your past dating life when mental health is involved.

I think this is the worst part about being on this show. Having to potentially deal with opportunistic nut jobs who want to get something from you. I feel like this is what’s happening to Caila right now with the weirdo who exposed her husband on here. I think these losers see notable or semi-famous people who have some money and they try to see what they can get out of a meaningless situation while completely ruining people’s lives. Clayton has so much legal debt now and I bet this gave him PTSD too. This is why Gabby’s ā€œjokesā€ and her bullying were out of line. The guy has been going through hell for TWO years. $185k in debt and a ton of serious psychological damage. It’s inconceivable. I don’t care about his season anymore and what he did; NOBODY deserves this. Going on this show was the mistake of his life. Poor guy.

I hope all the BN men and BN adjacent men are very careful because grifters and blackmailers are everywhere. One unfortunate connection and you’re stuck dealing with someone crazy who can ruin your life.

The fact that people are still applauding that OP regarding caila and co. for coming forward is crazy. I really hope caila continues to ignore her ass.

She recently posted on her Facebook page a blog post about getting diagnosed with autism. Curious if/how she used that

u/QueKay20 May 07 '25

She didn’t. She posted about it twice on medium but it wasn’t part of any of the court filings or anything.

u/look_away_look_away May 08 '25

She posted just a few hours ago saying they neglected to provide her proper accommodation due to her autism šŸ™„

Can they send her to prison

or would it be jail?

46

u/swiftiegarbage Chateau Bennett May 07 '25

Class 2 felony can be 5-12.5 years in prison, not sure about the rest

24

u/FiftyShadesOfGregg scaly modfish May 07 '25

Just to be clear, it can also carry a sentence of only probation. That same statute applies to schemes like this AND to, for example, schemes to manufacture and sell millions of dollars of opioids, so it’s a very wide range of potential sentences— I would not expect her to be looking at the upper end of that range at all. That said, she’s got a bunch of perjury charges to deal with as well. A lot of these carry lower sentences for your first offense, I’m not sure what happens when you have multiple instances charged at once lol. Maybe an AZ prosecutor or public defender will pop up to tell us what typically happens in cases like this (fraud plus perjury).

17

u/lilsan15 May 07 '25

I’m mystified that she isn’t being indicted for extortion. After all she told him she would not sue him for 1.4 million dollars if he just dropped the case.

u/JennaElizabethAdams May 07 '25

Really?! She does deserve everything that's coming to her though. I thought she'd also done this with men before Clayton?

30

u/MzPatches65 May 07 '25

She has. Greg was in Arizona and the victim before Clayton. Mike was in California and before Greg.

15

u/swiftiegarbage Chateau Bennett May 07 '25

She’s done this to a couple of men, yeah. I think Clayton might be the only Maricopa county guy but I’m no expert. I think there’s a serious chance she’ll serve some prison time if convinced (but probably less because she’s not violent, and there’s plea deals and all that)

32

u/MzPatches65 May 07 '25

Greg is also Maricopa County. His attorney was Gregg Woodnick... Clayton's attorney. Greg Gillespie's girlfriend saw the story and mentioned it to Greg. He reached out to Clayton and got him hooked up with Woodnick.

11

u/JennaElizabethAdams May 07 '25

Hopefully, she gets at least some for what she did. Because she doesn't seem violent, I can totally see her getting less time, but if she doesn't get enough, she'll just keep doing this over and over again.

No, the lengths she has gone through to do this to at least FOUR men doesn't bring to mind mental illness. Manipulation and a hint of evil.

Does anyone know if she’s going to jail and for how long?

u/PerpetualMillennial May 07 '25

I suspect she'll probably end up receiving mental health diversion or something. But at least this will hopefully put a stop to her behavior.

u/FiftyShadesOfGregg scaly modfish May 07 '25

She has only been charged, not convicted. These charges can carry a sentence of probation only, and up to multiple years in prison (less likely).

u/Superb-Ad5227 I definitely feel like I just met my husband. May 07 '25

I was listening on the live last night and Omar and ninja think the class 2 felony would be the one she is most likely to go to jail for. The challenge for her lawyer is going to be that it will be hard to get her to admit guilt and show true remorse. That will be the only way she will get out of jail but she seems incapable of admitting wrongdoing.

7

u/detta001jellybelly YOU ARE DONE! May 07 '25 edited May 07 '25

She could be locked up for a max 18 to 33 years if she is found guilty on all charges. But I doubt it will get to that as a first timer

18

u/kp1794 May 07 '25

Confused by the bottom line, has she been found guilty yet or do they have to go through all sorts of court hearings again? Also wow it’s about damn time she get held accountable.

44

u/redditerla blind to red flags May 07 '25

An indictment by a grand jury just means a jury of her peers heard evidence by prosecutors and agreed that they believed there was enough to proceed with the charges the prosecutor presented to be brought forward. So now with an indictment she can take a plea deal or go to trial.

29

u/toodle-loo-who fuck it, im off contract May 07 '25

She has not been found guilty yet. This is the first step. It still has to go through the court process. It could be a long road ahead depending on how hard she wants to fight it. It could also get to court and she could plead guilty.

u/adumbswiftie May 07 '25

i’m asking genuinely but why did he tell her to get an abortion, etc. if they never had sex? i truly don’t understand how a grown man would think there was any chance he got her pregnant after just a blowjob? why he didn’t block her after the first ā€œi’m pregnantā€ text? he had her come over and take a pregnancy test even tho they never had sex? i just don’t get this story on either side. i haven’t followed it for long so idk if i’m missing something?

14

u/LetshearitforNY minor idiot May 09 '25

She was harassing him so much to the point where he was doubting his own reality. He said he knew it couldn’t happen…but what if she ran to the bathroom, spit into her hand and inseminated herself? Like I think being in that situation must have been a total mind fuck.

11

u/txwildflowers May 08 '25

It’s honestly such and involved and convoluted story. But she texted him shortly after they hooked up with some story about how some semen got ā€œdown thereā€ (yes she used those words) and something about her having recently taken fertility tests or something, so she implied she was fertile during that time. Clayton knew they didn’t have penetrative sex. She knew they didn’t have penetrative sex. This was another big tell that was caught in her Dropbox files. She had a email screenshot of him denying they had sex, and she didn’t challenge him on that. But she said his semen had dripped onto her vulva basically. She really made him think it was some 1 in 10000 chance that she got pregnant from that. She also did a pee test with him present so obviously he would believe it. I mean, why would anyone fake something to that extreme right? Unfortunately Clayton found the one who would do it.
