I hope your friends are ok. I remember when this was her 'thing' on twitter. There was a lot of "time's up" and big talk heralding exposure of serial abusers in Academia, and not really a lot came from it. I think there was maybe an article in the national that vaguely alluded to something but nothing substantial? I don't even know if the guy in question faced any consequences as a result (I'd hope so, but I doubt it).
I'm maybe at odds with some people here- in all honesty I'd prefer that Vonny was just a totally harmless figure of fun, and that she didn't do any of the stuff like above, or the repeated cat breeding, or using her sister's mental health issues to slag her off or so on and so forth.
I wouldn't feel particularly guilty at having a giggle at her expense if the above was the case for a couple of reasons-
1) I'm not stalking, harassing, sending death threats, behaving in a malicious manner and nor would I ever plan to
2) I'm on a *gossip forum* which places all the discussion in a particular context- predominantly idle, unverified rumours and chatter. it would be a different story if I was to say, start a website
www.vonnytruth.com for the explicit purpose of having a go at her and impact her livelihood.
3) Vonny has not been (to the best of my knowledge) diagnosed with mental health issues which would result in her peculiar behavior
4) Vonny is/was a public figure with public and notable social media following, which is naturally fodder for public discussion
5) the stories are just so wild and in contrast to the persona she projected that if this was some kind of multimedia art project/fiction/ARG/hoax I'd still get a kick out of it and ask for more.
does that make me a bad person? I don't know.
But anyway, it seems like Vonny isn't just posting about how she was "always into communist decoupage, and in fact has many stalinist jewlry boxes she made during her childhood so there" so the above is kinda moot.
