Can you share with me some family photos? Sure. Sure. Um, so these are some of the pictures that I love. Um, because it
00:00:11
shows him, you know, super happy and just kind of the man I like to remember. And he seems like the happy go-lucky dad
00:00:22
that's super proud of his kids. He just had a really magnetic um smile and was always very photogenic. And was he a
00:00:32
doting dad? He loved his girls. I mean, he just he melted when he saw any of his
00:00:39
girls, especially when they were born. He was a good dad, protective of me and protective of our girls. This is a
00:00:48
wedding photo. I have an album, but I put that away um for safekeeping in case one day my girls want to see how mommy
00:00:58
and daddy got married and I tell them stories about New York and how beautiful the wedding was. So, I want them to know
00:01:04
that there were really happy moments, too. How did his appearance change? He dyed his hair black, which okay, so he
00:01:14
turned 50 and he had beautiful hair and salt and pepper. So certainly people are
00:01:19
allowed to do that. But he started dressing in all black and um you know painting his nails black which he said
00:01:27
it was for concerts and his whole appearance seemed to change. He got paler, his skin got pale. Um his eyes
00:01:36
that are generally really blue and vibrant and happy just became very dark. Almost pupils are super dilated. I saw
00:01:45
that change and it it was as if he was not recognizable. This is a picture that um was submitted as evidence. This was
00:01:54
the evening of January 16th, the day of my arrest. And so this photo went into evidence. So this scratch led to your
00:02:03
arrest and nearly a year of supervised visitation with your children. 13 months. 13 months. Yeah. It was
00:02:11
dismissed after eight months. Emily Cole completely dismissed all the charges. I've come to ask attorneys, how often
00:02:18
does this happen? How often do spouses, you know, accuse another spouse of domestic violence? And they say 50% of
00:02:24
our domestic violence cases during um situations of separation are trumped charges that are fake and it could lead
00:02:32
to you losing your children, custody of your kids. it um has bearing on assets and financials because well you're
00:02:41
kicked out of your home and if you're given restraining orders in my case I was um fully restrained from the
00:02:48
business because we operated the business together. So he was really able to bankrupt the business while this was
00:02:55
going on. It was um was kind of like taking a baseball bat to to me and knocking me off from day one. Um, my
00:03:03
first day in
