Rielle Hunter: Losing Touch with Reality?

/in /by

I was blown away by Oprah’s interview with Rielle Hunter yesterday. It was the most surreal interview I have seen in the five and a half years I have been watching interviews. I do not say that lightly.

Rielle appears to have lost total touch with reality. The first thing I did after that interview is look up the definition of “delusional”.

The Free Dictionary.com defines delusion as:

1. a.The act or process of deluding.

b. The state of being deluded.
2. A false belief or opinion: labored under the delusion that success was at hand.

3. Psychiatry A false belief strongly held in spite of invalidating evidence, especially as a symptom of mental illness…

I think the only thing I can say is that definition truly fits the behavior displayed by Rielle in yesterday’s interview. Her behavior goes way beyond what I would even classify as a lie or deceptive. She seems to have convinced herself that what she was saying was the truth. The place where Rielle is at now is not only hard to watch, but causes me concern for her safety.

While I am no medical expert, I hope that Rielle gets the help that she needs soon. I apologize, but I don’t think there is any purpose to try to dissect her utter and complete nonsense. It’s pointless.

The lesson in this? When everyone you know tells you not to do something, its good to sit back and listen. They likely have good reason to be giving you this advice.

Lyle Herring Arrested for Wife’s Murder

/in /by

I wrote about Lyle Herring back in April of last year after his wife went missing. Lyle’s behavior was odd and notable, even for police investigators. Today they arrested him for his wife, Leslie’s, murder. I just realized I never put this case on “Hot Cases”! I forgot. I wouldn’t have remembered the case, but I saw it was a getting lots of hits on my blog–that’s how I was alerted there was news.

KTLA.com reports:

Lyle S. Herring was arrested Wednesday about 4:30 p.m. after a 14-month-long investigation, police said…Herring has not been seen since February 8, 2009.

They don’t mention that they found Leslie’s body. Has anyone heard if they have?

Do you think Rielle Hunter is a homewrecker?

Oprah’s statement about Rielle was fascinating. Oprah says, “She is a person who is guided by what she feels.” Isn’t that a nice way to say someone is guided by their emotions? People who are guided by emotions often find themselves in controversy, because they don’t apply logic in their decision making process–they overrule it with their emotions.

Tonya Craft: Molester or Falsey Accused?

You can see the original interview with Tonya Craft here.

I do not see any signs of deception in this interview with Tonya. I’d like to see more–especially if Tonya testifies. If she does and you see it, please let me know ASAP.

This case scares me because it is a highly emotional topic for parents. The more emotional people get, the higher the likelihood their emotions will cloud their judgment and their ability to discern fact from fiction. The risk of emotional bias in this case is exceptional high. Due to this, her likelihood of a conviction is dramatically increased, and if that it the case, this case will be contested in courts for years to come.

Rielle Hunter on Oprah Tomorrow

Set your DVRs for tomorrow’s Oprah show. She interview’s Rielle Hunter for the first time. In the preview which can be seen here, Oprah says, “Is it true no one in your life thinks this is a good idea for you to be talking to me?” Rielle displays those critical, squinty eyes in the preview several times!

I think Rielle’s answers are going to be quite interesting!

Due to the fact that I can’t get Oprah’s show online, my review may be brief. If anyone wants to transcribe the show, or purchase a transcript, I will review all of the “interesting” parts! Just let me know.
