Holmes had a baby and that pushed back her initial court appearance for a while, she tried to offload a lot of blame onto Sunny Balwani, she married into money with a man that's an heir to a retirement home company and lives on a ranch outside of Palo Alto that's worth $135M, and has filed several timely appeals that happen to push back the date she goes to minimum security prison in Houston.
Frankly, the answer to how that works is less rich and more being highly adept at utilizing various levels of privilege to her advantage in almost calculating fashion.
- hinkley 3y agoAlmost like a sociopath would.
- evan_ 3y agoI don't think trying to stay out of jail makes you a sociopath
- jjtheblunt 3y agoCreating two children, once she knew she’s facing prison, to hope first for no sentence and second for indefinite delays, might count as sociopath behavior.
- hinkley 3y agoI've spent too much time in r/raisedbynarcissists on behalf of a friend who discovered later in life that they were, and let me tell you, it really does seem that having your narcissist/sociopathic parent locked up for most of your formative years may be the silver lining of your life.
- jjtheblunt 3y agoThat’s entirely plausible!
- hinkley 3y agoDid I say that it did? > and more being highly adept at utilizing various levels of privilege to her advantage in almost calculating fashion. She is a sociopath. We're discussing why she is behaving as she is. You've got cause and effect backward or you're trying to... I don't really know.
- kodah 3y agoI think a medical professional would need to look at a lot of things to determine that. At the least I think she's very smart and observant of the systems of the world around her.
- hinkley 3y agoYou have avoided an awful lot of speculation from different groups about what and who Holmes is.
- _ktx2 3y agoOf course I have, because arm chair psychology is actively harmful and unethical. Sociopathy and narcissism require a detailed review of a person's history, intentions, etc by a qualified medical professional in order to make a diagnosis. I'm also of the generation where, mostly women, influencers started wantonly using these labels on their enemies so I have a particular distaste for armchair psychology. I leave that bit between a patient and their psychologist, because largely it doesn't matter. The outcome is still what it is. It coming up in popular conversation is just an extension of using mental health as a boogey man and the old "people can't change" narrative.
