It’s such a complete dissonance to see someone supposedly “connecting with their roots” when she’s not even connected to who she was a couple of years ago.

Who do you think you are, indeed.

[westvillageandnyc]

So, the girl who said NYC was in every pore of her body and soul, won’t go back to Broadway because she loves Los Angeles too much? Also, since when does she back down from a challenge? Of course it’s hard. Yet, that never stopped her before. Her ambition has dwindled. More fun in the sun instead of creating a legacy for herself. And, I’m not so sure Broadway would welcome her back with arms anyways.

[uniquelaugh]

She now wants jobs handed to her on a platter. And, she said that moving to NYC would be too hard. She lived in NOLA for months. This girl has no intention on going back to Broadway unless, my guess, is that she has the starring role. Hollywood has gotten to her brain. She’s completely fake.

[unlit-and-unknown]

I don’t think she could handle headlining a stage show, not any more -- it’s very hard work, day after day. She used to be about working hard, but not any more. She’s been going through the motions for the last two years, and only seems to work on sets that are run the way she’s used to. Even the social media stuff looks phoned in. LA is full of younger actresses with more typically beautiful looks who are hungry for a chance and will easily out-work her and connect better with supporters. And if she doesn’t deal with her issues, she’ll keep being a sitting duck for con men, as long as she can still afford her lifestyle.

It’s such a shame.

WHAT??? Now there saying Lea’s friends were always wary of him & his past. Well that’s vastly different to every other PR news article about the pair that basically said they wanted Lea to marry the guy from day one.

[unlit-and-unknown]

I’d always hoped they were putting on a front and lying about liking the guy because she stopped talking to anybody who didn’t accept him (and also had to agree that it was great that he came everywhere with her and took over what they did). So now they can say what they really think. Maybe. Who knows.

Maybe I just have a hard time believing that all those successful hardworking people actually turned into cheerleaders for a freeloading manipulator and didn’t mind that she shoved him down everyone’s throats. It’s not like they were recipients of his “talents”.

[unlit-and-unknown]

I mean, seriously.... something to the effect of “it must have been instant love because he was making so much money with us before” isn’t a defence at all. It’s an ad for his gigolo service. Look how great our guys are at selling the illusion of love, it was good enough for a real star!

Vomit.

But thanks, I guess, for confirming that your former employee is a liar who is a professional expert at what he pulled on her.

Garren James Releases Statements in Regards to Matthew Paetz Los Angeles, CA: Garren James, Founder and CEO of Cowboys4Angels, has released the following statement in regards to the recent news reg…

OMFG

[funnygirl2313]

hahahahahhahahahahahahhaah

[ikhazrn]

IS this guy for real? WTF. He is making it sound like Lea has been paying the douche for the last two years to be her companion.  He Paetz is a classless jerk off.  You don’t just up and leave a relationship without at least saying bye, fuck you, you suck. something so the poor girl has closure.  These dudes are assholes

[unlit-and-unknown]

This “defense” is not much of a defense, given that it confirms that the leech has zero problem being a convincing date as long as he gets $$ out of it, and that the previous explanation for his C4A page was lame BS.

Anyone still think he just “happened” to meet a rich girl whose boyfriend had died? On what would have been an emotionally and sexually charged video set, that his friend-of-a-friend was directing? (When he hadn’t been appearing in videos before, despite his connections.) Someone in Lea’s situation would have been such a tempting target to a gigolo. Especially one who could spout lame self-help stuff to “help her with her grief” and whatever other nonsense he was mindfucking her with.

As for the disappearing act, it’s a common tactic. If you’re a sociopath who doesn’t actually give a damn about the person you were with, and want to goad them into an emotional fight that they should probably avoid. Or have them twist themselves into grotesque knots to try to figure out why you left, and do whatever you want if you’ll only come back.

How does this nobody asshole even have “people” that the media talks to? My guess is he leaked it first for the attention, and to have her at a disadvantage. Even more of a disadvantage than finding out she trashed Cory’s memory for the sake of someone who was manipulating her every step of the way.

[helloruminations-deactivated201]

That’s really it for me. Today the press has been saturated with the heading: “I know Cory would love my boyfriend”

She has such a cavalier attitude about that time in her life. She’ll defend mp at every opportunity at the expense of Cory’s memory.  She’s made it clear that it’s her and him against the world and has been since day one. So be it. Good luck.

[unlit-and-unknown]

Yeah, I think I’m out too. Dragging out Cory’s name for attention and sympathy, saying he’d “love” someone who is completely counter to what he himself was? Shutting down future public mention of him by others? Looks like anything I ever liked about her is long gone.

Pity. I wonder how much more the leech will take from her before she gets that he’s a leech, but not enough to want to watch any of it. Especially not his possessive OTT public lovebombing that seems only likely to isolate her further, and certainly shows his tactics and focus on his own ego.

I wish she’d get out, someday. I hate it when evil wins. But even then her need to escape the past, dangerous avoidance couched as “positivity”, means she’s unlikely to ever pick up the memories that she’s dumped on the scrap heap.

I hate it when evil wins.

My only option here is not to look.

Self-infantilizing fantasies include: the dream of marrying for money, the dream of inheriting money, the dream of winning the lottery, and the dream of finding a wife who will look after all your mundane concerns so that you can be free to commune with inspiration forever in a peaceful cocoon, utterly sheltered from the inconveniences of reality

She did not just say “ I DON’T DO DRUGS” I’m healthy

[unlit-and-unknown]

Given how much crap everything else she says is, maybe she needs to get tested. Or maybe her addiction is just to the leech.

I’m notorious for comparing aspects of L&C’s relationship with L&L’s and I was just thinking how strange it was that Lea always referred to Cory as “someone special” She never said his name on social media. It drove me crazy. Even a month before he died she was still saying “someone special made me breakfast”

And so much of what she posted about them or inferred about them was impersonal. Remember when she posted that pic of a tent from the camping website? Just weird.

Compare that to her public declarations of love to Matthew, Matty…“I love you so much!”

Her birthday message to leech was dare I say more personal than her speech at the TCA

[unlit-and-unknown]

I think it’s worth remembering that this is a sequence, not things that happened separately, and the person she’s with shapes her. Certainly she’s using social media a lot more for this sort of personal stuff now, and the leech encourages it (even takes a lot of the pics himself). Contrast to Cory, who said way back near the start of Glee that he wasn’t comfortable having a relationship in public (and even said that this was a reason he was staying single at the time – these quotes take on greater significance with the later revelation that they’d briefly dated then). And it’s not like everyone didn’t know who she was hinting about before, while now she’s the one who initially kept the relationship secret and needs to prove she’s serious by being public. She may even remember how meaningful that (the other person being willing to go public) was, even though she seems to have wiped a lot of the rest of who she was then.

I think she’s always changed based on who she was closest to at the time. This was good when that was someone kind and with a wider viewpoint, or at least she had potential then. Being with a pretentious leech 24/7 provides a completely different feedback on behavior and attitude, and at this point she’s namedropping everyone she bothers with.

It’s to be expected that someone who lost love once would cling tighter to what is presented as a new chance. Unfortunately everything that went before, including her habitual insularity and tendency to ignore others’ viewpoints, just lines her up all the better for a leech to exploit and mold, once he had an in.

IDK, maybe I’ve just resolved the dissonance by seeing her as too much changed to expect consistency from. Her lame social-media shilling and repudiation of how important her album was to her are part of this too; aside from her insularity and continued unwarranted praise for RM, she doesn’t seem like the same person. And even when it comes to RM, she used to sound a lot less dependent.

Or maybe I just don’t want to believe that she didn’t really love Cory, because the thought that he didn’t have that is unbearable.

[yellowbrick26-deactivated201601]

All good points. Unfortunately, I think the narrative has changed from Lea believing she lost true love to now believing she found the one she was meant to be with. That to me, has always been the hardest thing for me to accept – “maybe something better” came to fruition. It’s not so much about what she lost but what she gained. It reminds me of this quote, which is so bittersweet: “If life can remove someone you never dreamed of losing, it can replace them with someone you never dreamed of having.” I think the change we have witnessed, or this “new” Lea happened when she had a shift in mindset: she suddently realized that who she was before was not the real her. I wonder if that’s what she meant reflecting back on her grieving process when she said she had learned the true meaning of happiness. The leech literally, and I mean literally seduced her whole heart. Think of all the history she had with Cory – it was rich and layered and special and is now no longer held as sacred. Lea hasn’t just discredited his memory once or twice but has rather consistently over and over again given the impression that he never existed. There has not been any signs that she even remotely misses him. As for the social media oversharing, I know Cory was private but it still doesn’t make sense that there wasn’t even ONE pic of the two of them. I mean come on, everyone knew they were together. They had a lot of supporters and fans who rooted for their mutual happiness. Cory’s inability to commit publicly could have been a sign of his inability to commit in other areas of their relationship, like not living together (which i will never understand by the way) In hindsight, I feel like something was missing. People are going to be shocked when I say this but I think her relationship with leech is more “mature” than with Cory. And by mature, I mean they literally act like a married couple and seem to put one another first. I know this comes with a caveat because leech has nothing else to do but Cory seemed more hesitant to go all in with Lea. I think there were doubts on his side, more so towards the end: “if you say so” takes on a whole new meaning now. And I think her doubts showed up after he passed when she may have started comparing cory with matt. I just shudder to think of a time in the future when she will talk about all this – whether through her music or an interview or some type of memoir. I don’t think we are going to like what we hear. That destroys me because I really really believed they had something really special but there are just far too many things that have made me believe that less and less.

[unlit-and-unknown]

If this is the real her -- acting faker all the time and doing nothing for anyone other than herself, the leech, and RM -- then the “true meaning of happiness” that she has supposedly found is not one I’d wish for anyone.

A leech being “all in” when it comes to a relationship with a rich girl isn’t special at all, no matter how it may seem at the time. Especially not the unnatural 24/7, zero time apart, leech makes no real effort at working, crap of a life that we’re seeing. (I don’t see the leech putting her first -- he puts himself first. To put someone else first you have to be willing for them to exist apart from you. You have to be willing to put in effort that you don’t want to do and give up things that you value. What this looks like is an imitation of a life together, entirely on his terms, where the only real sacrifices are hers.) But it certainly does seem like that full-on force has completely wiped out the memory of what she and Cory were carefully building, and for that I hate the leech all the more.

But I don’t think she reflected back on her grieving process at all. She isn’t reflective. She jumped into a new relationship to hide from the loss of the old one, and convinced herself of some high-grade bullshit because she wants all that to be true. She wants to be able to forget all about her loss and how important Cory was to her because she found something better, wants this enough to try to make it true. Aided by it being far easier for a user leech and gigolo, who is risking nothing, to act attached and committed right away, versus someone with demons to wrestle who wasn’t sure he could handle the situation and its very personal public intrusions. For a leech looking for a life to take over, versus someone who valued his independence and wanted to keep a focus on work instead of celebrity coupledom.

But it’s not better. Just look at how she acts and what she does now vs. before the leech. What she does now is so superficial. That’s not the sign of good influence or a good life. Neither is this apparent need to forget and retcon away what came before.

Do you remember when leech was in the Bang, Bang video directed by his buddy Hannah? In hindsight, why the hell did he even bother doing it? If you blinked, you would miss him. And Hannah is his friend, you’d think she would have given him a bit more screen time. I just think that was so incredibly odd. I’m still stratching my head as to what was the point.

[unlit-and-unknown]

IMO to make it look like that was something he actually did (music video extra) instead of having done Lea’s just to get close to her. He doesn’t seem to have done any other videos, even with being buddies with another successful director. Hannah had her own job to do on the big-deal collaboration video, likely giving a friend-of-a-friend exposure wasn’t a priority. It’s not like he’s actually trying to have a career (other than lifestyle-entrepreneur wannabe).

Basically he did it to pretend he was a “model and aspiring actor” instead of a predatory leech.

[unlit-and-unknown]

After what looks like 18 months or so of living off his rich gf and doing nothing, do you think the “model and aspiring actor” (who hasn’t modeled in years and does not appear to be taking steps towards an acting career) would actually work if he had the opportunity? At anything? Even his “gentleman” web efforts sound really half-assed.

It looks like so many other traps: an apparently “perfect guy” except for one thing… but unravelling that one thing (his continued joblessness) would reveal so many aspects of that problem. Someone who is apparently wonderful but a deliberate freeloader isn’t really wonderful at all. But as long as nobody requires anything other than charm (and sex) from him, he can lay it on and distract from everything else.

[yellowbrick26-deactivated201601]

What’s even worse is that any $ he makes from his blog is basically passive income.

[unlit-and-unknown]

Which would explain why he’s got the blog -- it’s a leech’s dream, to be able to put up some pics of a lifestyle someone else is paying for and some lame recycled “advice”, milk connections for attention and have the $$ roll in. Especially including looking for an investor for a proposed e-book (on an already well-served topic) projected to sell 1000 copies. (SMH. Why look for investors? Just put together the book and sell it online. An “investor” can’t expect much share from such a small number of copies anyway, so it looks like a scam to find marks for further exploitation.) And it makes it look like he’s trying something -- something that of course others have to support in return for the “support” he gives with his constant presence -- even as it likely goes nowhere.
