Hello everyone.

Sorry I've not been around or able to update the past week. Things have just gotten progressively worse, and it's been a LOT to handle, while every day trying to just survive, while my illnesses have flared to levels I've not experienced before, and while Bill and Jeanette have been on the attack nonstop and me unable to keep up with all I need to do.

I'm still alive though, and I'm still in this fight. I'll be working on update posts soon. I'm trying to break things down into more bite-sized, tl;dr posts so it's easier to follow and understand all that's transpired. For the first time in 5 years I'm finally able to be open and talk about myself, my life, and what's gone on, to share my truths, and I want to do it right, the best way I can.

I've not been able to hear folklore yet. I've still not even seen the City of Lover concert, and was really sad when yesterday I tried to log into the blessed free Disney+ account we'd had on our phone only to discover the show isn't there. So idk. And folklore I've not been able to look but I'm hoping it's all at least on YouTube because that's my only TV/music source rn. But I've been hit with a week long migraine so I just couldn't do anything but lay in the dark. I have so much I want to talk with you all about and I know now that everyone will be super focused on folklore but there's also some really important and alarming things going on that I just cannot turn away from and focus on the album. BLM, the massive upcoming evictions and homelessness...

Not to mention that, I'm just across the river from Portland and... what's going on there/here... I need to be careful what I say but I need to tell you all that what you're seeing of it on the news- it's MUCH worse. And how certain individuals are trying to spin it, portray a different narrative about what's going on in this very peaceful, hippie/hipster city... it's deadass lies and it is scary af. I have to go to a lot of my medical appointments over there, and Portland is the city we're in the metro area of, it's the hub for everything and I just... it's bad out here and it needs everyone's constant attention and diligent efforts to ensure the worst doesn't happen. And I'll tell you it's especially scary as I'm standing to be thrown into homelessness, on the street, dependant on having to go around to places all over the metro area for food banks and stuff (I mean if we can even get enough gas) and people are being kidnapped off the street. And, now, if I got COVID-19 and am hospitalized, I'm facing the potential of authorities deciding to let me die since I'm disabled and deemed not as essential a person... while the likelihood I'll catch it is SO high considering it's now very clear that the Bryants have been purposely trying to infect me (coughing on doorknobs and light switches and spreading their bodily fluids all over dishes and into food is the tip of the iceberg) and throw me on the street, where there's no protection I mean just trying to use public bathrooms is... just this is serious and bad. I'm still trying to process and wrap my brain around all of this, still trying to figure out WHY. Especially, why did my own local family members conspire with Bill and Jeanette to do this... I really don't fully understand it and ngl, it really breaks my heart.

Anyways again I'll update with more details as I can because a lot more has happened and I really still need help and signal boosting. The Bryants are VERY aggressively trying to silence and bury me, discredit me as a witness so they can get away with everything they did including the felony violence against me... so again, the only thing I can do is go public and get this story out as big and viral as possible, so that in the very least they can't keep hurting others.

Anyways I gotta run. Love you all. ♡

Can somebody please help me find the right way to properly articulate why it is important that my attacker be convicted of the very provable felony she was charged with, instead of being allowed to make a plea deal to a misdemeanor that doesn't even cover what she actually did to me???

#this is beyond messed up #our system is really screwed up #and now also? despite they stole and damaged so much of my property and made me homeless like they directly did all this I've got so much #but instead of including any kind of restitution even just for the severe trauma and distress from this event in the sentencing #I'd have to hire my own lawyer to go after it in civil court? !except! !!i freaking! !can't afford a lawer because they stole from me? !?!?#I'm losing so much faith like seriously no justice? !?#and i can't even really fight bc when I get too empassioned when talking to them and telling all that's happened and etc #the whole 'mad woman' effect sets in like they think I'm just crazy or over emotional or something I'm like seriously. I'm giving you logic #and reason and fact based evidence but okay #there is so much bias. she is an old white lady and yeah I'm white too but disabled which sadly they've not met me in person and #when ppl hear 'disabled' they immediately think like mentally unfit or like crap like that and it's a really hard bias to try to overcome #i just #ugh #i have to speak with them again Monday and i really need help #i need to argue my case to them but without showing emotion so they don't think I'm just? ??#i watched 2 hours of AOC speaking and she's so good at walking that line she's firm and really hammers a point but with confident logic and #like half my problem is how shy and socially anxious i am so i get so nervous talking #this is just going so badly I am trying so hard but it's so hard to fight alone against such big monsters #helpbrynn #unpinned

This is just the tip of the iceberg, a small introduction to the story about how William Bill Bryant and his wife, Jeanette Hazen Bryant, who own and operate Bryant & Associates Insurance and Financial Services on Officer's Row in Vancouver, WA (fraudulently and unsecured I must warn) preyed on us and forced us under their control and into years of forced labor and living under duress in a hostile, abusive domestic violence laden situation which we've only now finally escaped. We've broken free of their grip, but their destruction of every part of our lives has been total. Please signal boost my story and stay tuned for calls to action. Thank you♡

not that it is big breaking news bc there's only like 5 people interacting rn but so I have had a very rough couple days my freaking illness is flaring and I was up sick all night nye and so sick I wasn't able to do the trivia. I hope everyone that did had a good time and hopefully it was enough of a success to gwd that they'll make it a recurring theme. I'm sorry I'm just really frustrated and sad rn so I'm stepping away but just kinda. Letting you all know. Reality hits hard and fast. I'm back to dealing with bs of this legal battle with the people who abused, imprisoned and tried to kill me so that's. I just wanted to have a night of fun but no my freaking. Body couldn't be good my freaking everything has had to flare up and I *may* have maybe still been able to do it if I was safe and set up to be able to do it from my sickbed but no, directly because of what those people have done I had to have to travel out to an undisclosed location just to get on Zoom to do that and I couldn't physically even get out of bed let alone get dressed and bear a painful car ride and everything else it was gonna take. I'm. Sorry I am ranting I am upset and that's one of my resolutions is to not choke down my anger like I've been doing that I've been not speaking up when I am upset and you know why??? Literally??? Because no one likes a mad woman. That song- my god is it timely. That's a whole other post I'm gonna have to get into. Because I have to go to this trial before a jury and give a victim statement and it's so hard to know what to say because I feel like I can't show any anger, for all those reasons and yet you know what? I have every reason. Bill and Jeanette tried to kill me. They tore apart my whole life and threw me into the street. They assaulted my husband and used him as a slave. They stole SO much from us, even petty things just to spite us. And now they're going around getting to save face- using MY money to pay for a criminal defense lawyer!! To DEFEND what they did. And getting to work on whatever bullshit case they're gonna try ALL this time while meanwhile it's not like I have representation, it's the state vs Jeanette so I have to *hope* that the county prosecuting attorney does their job and yet so far the ball has been dropped, I honestly think they've not even looked at the case yet and they're waiting till the last minute where they'll cram some facts and half ass it. And I feel powerless in that. Except if perhaps my testimony speaks to the jury and judge. If the judge hasn't been bought that is. I just. I'm so tired. I don't want to do any of this. I want to be free of this nightmare and those people and move on. I just want peace. But 2021 is going to be a battle year for me. I'm going to war and I'm trying to find my armor. I'm just so tired. So, so tired.

#fuck crohns disease fuck RA fuck all autoimmune disease #it's a slow horrible death that nobody ever sympathizes with cos it's not cancer #so we suffer in silence and without support and it is horrible in times when it's bad i just #all energy is gone from me right when i have SO FREAKING MUCH TO DO #like i CAN'T be sick i have to do things 24/7 and I'm SO exhausted I'm just #and my migraines keep happening more often it's driving me crazy they're completely incapacitating #i can't even look at screens or type or think or anything when i get them #I'm so sick of all this i just want to move on #i just. i just #i don't know I'm sorry I'm going off ranting for a second #ok I'm logging off now it hurts #gonna lay in the dark and listen to the rain #i love u guys. i miss you a lot.#hope everyone is doing better so far than me #personal #update #rant post #jan 2 #helpbrynn #for ref

I only have another like 5 seconds to post right now but so I've not been able to securely set up a PayPal or venmo etc yet, we're still trying to figure that out (again it's really hard bc it could prevent us from getting housing help we need DESPERATELY like TODAY and then like ugh so many possible traps it's just hard we gotta do it the right way and can't think of someone we'd trust enough to do it for us so I really don't know yet) but so many of you have offered help and as much as I want to say that it's okay don't worry about it, I honestly really, really need help very badly

and so for the time being, one thing we can do, is if you/people want to get me digital gift cards like from amazon or other places that we can get basic needs like water, tp, food from etc, that helps a ton and I have found that you can DM me a gift card number/info / a screen shot of it and I can use it- that's worked in the past at least for Amazon and target... so if that's possible, please go for it.

Also, gas and hotel are up at the top as what we need most right away, and so idk if gas gift cards are possible; or also hotel chains maybe, or (and again I freaking HATE to doxx myself so much this way but) one of my favorite local hotel chains who've like I have a whole story with them and it's just a really special PNW thing, it's called McMenamins (hopefully my fellow pnw swifties know? @pnwswiftie @1989s @- crap you've all changed your urls I'll have to come back and add you but) and they have a website and I believe they sell gift cards there or if you wanted you could call and ask how to reserve a hotel room for somebody, idk. Sorry I'm really, really inarticulate right now so I'm hoping maybe those who wanna help this gives you some ideas. But yeah even DMing me amazon gift cards helps a ton. Idfififksltstlslts I gotta figure out paying this month's health insurance premium too bc we had to spend the little money we had on a uhaul and gas fotkfkfststostksotskst I'm honestly so screwed okay um

I gotta go but I love you alll so much seriously now that my story can be told you'll know just how much this online community has helped get me through these years of abuse and living under duress like you all have no idea how many moments there have been where I didn't think I'd make it but the smallest things, an encouraging quote a friendly ask funny fandom clownery following the rep tour virtually w you all... these things gave me hope gave me strength gave me reasons to keep surviving and fighting to get out of here, because I want so badly to get to a position where I can truly thank you each and pay forward all your kindness and everything and just. And yes @taylorswift @taylornation it's all because of you that I came here in the first place and your music has sustained me and your fandom has encouraged me and your fights and words and advice gave me the courage to speak out about my abuse and everything so I just. Again if I dont get the chance to I just needed to tell you all thank you, I love you, and I honestly am going to do everything I possibly can, with whatever life I have left after all this, to help as many others as I can in every way possible. Thank you♡

P.S. if for some reason I lose access to the Internet or this account, Catherine (was @imhereonthekitchenfloor ugh I don't know anyone's urls, C @sparksflymp3 knows her) has my phone # (obvs I don't want that given out but like u could tell her things to tell me or something idk) and Ash @tayloristhecontent has contact info too, both of you I've been out of touch with lately which I'm so sorry for and hopefully you understand why, it's been a nonstop crazy nightmare over here, but I love you and hope you're doing good and really hope to hug you and so many others here some day soon ♡ SO much love and thanks to @warmthebedonwednesday ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

Look up "coercive control," it's a tactic commonly used by abusers yet still hasn't been made illegal or taken into account in domestic violence cases- leaving victims to have to get to the point of being physically hurt or even killed before the criminal abuser sees any time for the likely years or decades of abuse they've inflicted.

EVERYBODY PLEASE SIGNAL BOOST, PLEASE SHARE, PLEASE CALL, WRITE, EMAIL, MESSAGE, EVERYTHING POSSIBLE

THIS IS VERY URGENT, A MAJOR MISCARRIAGE OF JUSTICE HAS TAKEN PLACE AND NOW BILL AND JEANETTE ARE FREE AND EMBOLDENED TO GO HURT OTHERS.

THE JUDGE COMMISSIONER HAD MET WITH THEM PRIVATELY BEFORE TODAY'S HEARING AND PRE-DECIDED TO RULE IN THEIR FAVOR. SHE REFUSED TO EVEN HEAR OUR STATEMENTS OR EVIDENCE, SHE REFUSED TO ALLOW INNOCENCE TO BE PROVEN.

THIS IS NOW ANOTHER ACCOUNT OF EXTREME MISCONDUCT BY THE JUDGES OF CLARK COUNTY, WA. PLEASE REPORT THIS AND CALL GOVERNOR INSLEE!!!!

I so badly want to just sink into fangirling and get excited with all of you over new Taylor things coming but I just got the call that the trial hearing for the woman who attacked me has been moved to next week because she weaseled her way into a plea deal. She was charged with a felony for what she did to me and she should be convicted as a felon. But instead she's pleading to a misdemeanor that doesn't even have to really do with what she did. And the courts are just accepting this for expediency since they're overloaded with backlogged cases because of the pandemic. And I'm finding out that the victim in cases like this, even though it's criminal, the victim has no say. I have no power in this fight. Except that I get to give an impact statement to the judge. So I'm scrambling to finish that and I wanted to update you all. I've not been talking about it all as much, it's been traumatic and overwhelming and just a lot and there's so much to the legalities of this that I'm finding there's nothing I can do. So if anything, we really need to change legislation regarding this. The victims should have more of a say, more weight in these trials. Anyways I gotta go. Love you all. ♡

Hey so um.

I need your help. Everyone's. My battle for justice after the situation I was forced into for the last 5 years (see previous posts under the tag #helpbrynn for more background) and culminating in a viscous attack on me last June by my in-laws/former landlords has become harder and I now have to fight harder.

I'll explain a lot more tomorrow after I'm able to process the newest information I've been given. In brief summary though, Jeanette was arrested and charged with a class C felony (DV/domestic violence) when police had to breach the house that day; her husband Bill had conveniently left the house by that time so despite him being fully complicit in everything that happened, he got away on that technicality (that he was not there when police arrived... that's a whole other battle, trying to have him charged too, but this legal system is making that near impossible, I'd have to convince the police to charge him and they're showing clear bias in favor of these people and have this whole time- somebody please remind me to tell you about the 911 calls just that night as an example). Anyways Jeanette was arrested and charged, shortly jailed, then let out on a bail substitute, a conditional release situation (which included a criminal restraining order that is supposed to protect me from her, but she's violated it at least 3 documented times now and police wouldn't arrest despite that being the terms of the order). I had no say in this to begin with, I can't begin to explain the terror I felt when I heard they'd let her out- she is DANGEROUS and has no problem lying, manipulating, and framing- her m.o.- so yeah, it sucks being the victim, the one who was hurt and whose life was torn apart, property stolen, and rendered homeless; yet I've really had no say, no chance to try to explain all that preceded this event where she finally got caught... since it's the first time she was caught and she's an old white lady with perceived higher socioeconomic status, they're all going easy on her. They're not believing me when I say this was the tip of the iceberg, that there's other crimes I want to report, that this is a demonstrable pattern of behavior that's progressively escalated and she/they will hurt again and worse if they're emboldened once again by getting away with this, just like they bragged they would...

Sorry this is already longer than I meant it to be, again I have a lot to post about that's forthcoming. But I wanted to update you on the legal case. So Jeanette originally had a public defender, then she bought herself a criminal defense lawyer whose own website description paints proud corruption; not to mention the money she's using on this lawyer is owed to me, and so I have none to hire my own lawyer to seek restitution from all this- how messed up is that? Anyways, I've been working with the county prosecutor who was assigned to the case- eerily, her name is Jeannie Bryant (as in the state of WA is represented by Jeannie Bryant against Jeanette (Hazen) Bryant)- yeah. But so I've got all this evidence and background that you'd think would be used to build a case. Even without it though, even with just what the police saw and reported, it's absolutely dead to rights she did the crime and it's a felony. She did it. She was trying to do worse. It seems obvious on its own but then with all I have, it should be a slam dunk. But now I'm hearing that Jeanette and her attorney are seeking a plea bargain which would downgrade her charge to Disorderly Conduct, a misdemeanor. This is unacceptable and yet I've got no say. I can't even hire my own lawyer to plead my case if I had the funds, because this is criminal so it's up to the state to try the case so I've had to hope the assigned prosecutor fights well. But here we now are and there's a lot more but I wanted to update you all and see first of all if anyone out there is an attorney or knowledgeable in the legal arena that may have thoughts or referrals or recommendations. I'm also giving a heads up that since it looks like I will have to get a civil lawyer to help me pursue restitution among all the other things, I'll probably be starting a crowd funding campaign of some sort for that. For reference this is a case being tried in Vancouver, Clark County, Washington State. I know it's a tricky line legally I'm just throwing this out there into the public, especially in case they do end up getting away with this... so yeah. More tomorrow.

Quick update

I'm still stuck. I can't leave until the rest of my possessions are packed up and moved out into storage.

My husband can't come help me

My local family has denied me- after my dad died (pancreatic cancer), my mother's whole side of the family banded together with his life insurance money, helped my little brother buy the family home (which was purchased with $thousands of my paternal grandmother's life savings money which she was supposed to get back, they never repaid her, now she's so stressed she's elderly and cannot handle this) and basically used a smear campaign to keep all my old family and friends from talking to/helping me (unfortunately there is a religious aspect to this as well, I believe I'm technically being shunned, which is what has cut me off from being able to reach out to everyone I've ever known for any kind of help not even to talk to for emotional support)... all honestly I think because my biological mother knows that I know her secrets and I have evidence against her, so she's been doing all she can to discredit me so that nobody will believe me so nobody will help me.

I need to get moved completely out of this house TODAY before the weekend hits and all the social service offices that I'll need to call will be closed. I need to get out but I NEED HELP.

Best case scenario would be to hire professional organizers/movers to come in here right now today and have me direct them in packing and moving the rest of my stuff.

If anybody out there wants to help by donating to hire movers, please contact me. I need to do all this a certain way through the proper channels to make sure others are protected and everything. At this point it would be bad for anyone except hired professionals to help, so that nobody can get sued for coming to the house to help me (these people, the Bryants are super litigious and Jeanette's M.O. is literally to frame people- for example and yes this has been reported but she told us that to have another source of money as a backup plan if she ever needs it, she went and saw a male massage therapist and "documented" that he assaulted her- as in if she ever needs extra money she will sue this guy with a false harassment claim. I'm still afraid she's setting things up to set this house on fire and blame us- her other children told me they could very much see her doing that. This is serious)

I've been up all night shaking and having panic attacks in response to every little noise in the house. I'm trying so hard to be brave and strong and stand my ground for my rights like my dad taught me to. If I can't uphold my rights I mean there's no hope for others you know? But I'm really scared and my health is declining rapidly. I'm running on just adrenaline at this point. I'm having a lot of trouble at this point speaking and remembering things like I have to call all these places and retell my story and I'm like so exhausted and stressed I can't put full sentences together so I'm typing all this out as fast as much as I can

Please contact me if you're able to help, maybe to donate like I said towards professional movers to pack and move me out today, and also to signal boost my story to get it out there awareness etc, and then if any of you are in Washington state in the US or in the Portland, OR metro area, that's where this is happening

Call my governor, Jay Inslee, tell him what's happening and to contact me (his office has my info I'm Brynn down in Clark)(and I really really feel so violated having to doxx myself online like this totally lost privacy and safety bc of this but I have no choice now) also if there are attorneys who want to take on any part of this case contact me, investigative journalists and/or reporters who want to tell my story contact me, etc.

Thank you all♡

So you know what's like really uncool? When you repeatedly try to report repeated and escalating crimes to police, you call 911, make reports, even tell officers you want to press charges; but they all tell you that what you're reporting they don't know the laws enough about but they say they're "civil" laws/crimes so it's not their job, that you gotta go pay for a lawyer and take it to civil court; but then when you go to do that, you're told by civil lawyers that they can't help with those crimes because they are in fact criminal so;;;; it would have to be reported to police and then a county prosecutor would take the case;;; but you ask a prosecutor like so what do you do now, call up the police and re-report all these like 84 crimes and insist they make an official report and charge for each one and then when they basically tell you to eff off they are sick of dealing with this whole case with these people or whatever that like??? Then what??? When you tell them you're scared, you're not safe, it keeps happening, but the freaking police, the county sheriff, is just like ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ like seriously what do you do??? When the more you dig the more serious crimes you find but like?!? With criminal acts you can't just get a lawyer and charge and prosecute a person yourself, the county/state HAS to do it, so WTAF DO YOU DO

#I'm ranting a bit but also #1.bringing attention to another serious issue with police and that is suburban police okay like can u even #2.any legal scholars or lawyers esp in WA if you have suggestions or advice? ???#bc I've asked every like volunteer bar association etc but they don't wade beyond civil or like really minimal crimes #and this is big time #like holy shit some big crimes multiple felonies tons of misdemeanors and like wtf #helpbrynn #personal #idgxig

So today I've been writing representatives again and realized that maybe what I wrote them can serve as a placeholder as a general summary of my situation, so I'm going to paste and post it here real quick before my phone dies. Then I'll come back and work on more. In the mean time:

My name is Brynn. I live in Washington State and I've been going through a really bad crisis.

My husband and I are facing homeless and I am disabled from chronic illness, which has left me also severely immuno compromised and at high risk with the virus. It's really, really scary being on the street with no safe place to go in the middle of all of this. Plus, we are in Vancouver, WA- suburb and directly across the Columbia from Portland, which is where I usually have to go for most of my medical appointments. I'm hoping you can maybe imagine what we're going through from just all of that....

But it's worse- what put us in this place to begin with. In 2015, my husband was recruited by his step-father -the new husband of his historically abusive mother who he'd been estranged from- but this man, Bill Bryant, asked for my husband to come work for his insurance and financial company, Bryant and Associates, which was having massive financial trouble and issues with employees stealing their client data from an unsecured network. My husband does/did IT work, so Bill offered him $50/hr plus bonuses, including an eventual position as part owner, to come work to fix the networking and encryption problems among a lot of other things. We were about to move farther away, so the Bryants persuaded us to instead "temporarily" move into their spare bedroom, since I was very sick and that way they could all work on the company 24/7; with promises that we'd quickly make so much money we could get a home in town, new car, better health insurance, etc. They worked my husband HARD and very long hours- he'd be at the office 72+ hours straight at a time many weeks having to spend the nights there, up the entire time doing all the things they ordered of him. At first, they asked if he could kindly wait for payment until after open enrollment, when they'd have the money to give us a big check.

To make a long and painful story short, Bill and Jeanette kept asking for patience in paying my husbands wages and back pay, continually putting it off until finally admitting they had no intention of ever paying him. They worked my husband, forced labor, for 4 years and then didn't pay- not only forcing us into an artificial destitution, having to resort to applying for things like food stamps which had specifically been part of the original agreement- before agreeing to work for them, my husband specified that we could not take the fall for their financial or legal troubles; we could not be put in a position to have to apply for government help like food stamps (we have historically preferred to be able to volunteer to help others in need and be productive); etc- all of which they agreed to in order to get us moved in and effectively stuck there, held hostage under duress for 5 years. They'd threaten that if he did not obey their every command, they'd ruin us completely, they'd take me away, and never pay, etc. They abused and violated us and we couldn't ever tell anyone due to their threats. They told us that even if we tried to ever turn them in, they'd get away with it all. They had pre-planned this all. They'd chosen us to be scapegoats to hang their business, financial and legal failures on and then bury. They saw me as weak and easy prey as disabled. They worked the "family" angle with my husband since Jeanette is his biological mother- despite the two having no such relationship and Jeanette resuming her verbal, emotional and physical abuse (including an assault in the work place) on him. They kept us under their control by depriving us of everything needed to get away- we had no money as they didn't pay but kept forcing him to work, so he couldn't seek work elsewhere (and they never filled out the documentation for him to be able to get unemployment ever); and they destroyed our ability to ever get a new job or home as we now have no reference or history for income, work, rent etc- the Bryants made sure that unless we stayed under their abusive control, we had nowhere to go but the street. And they knew- because they said it often- that that would essentially be a death sentence for me in my condition. They used coercive control, financial control and abuse, fraud, forced unpaid labor, and a whole slew of other practices to hold us under duress to leach resources off us and plan out hanging everything on us.

They tried repeatedly to get my health care surrendered over to them so that they could reap the financial benefits of both taking on a medicare patient as well as getting to claim me as a dependant/get paid as "caretakers". When we refused these demands, we faced vicious retaliation. They seem to even still be trying to find a way to take me/take over me this way. They called in a fraudulent "wellness check" to the police- which is extremely problematic as I'll soon be outlining- claiming horrible things about my husband in order to get both police and my personal healthcare team to mistrust and believe a false narrative, which has caused a lot of lasting problems for me especially with my healthcare.

Then, when the pandemic hit, and they had been living at their new office in one of the historically protected Officer's Row houses, which are zoned for business only but the Bryants moved into it as they liked the prominent location in the community and had long wanted a live/work situation; but when the shutdown happened, they decided they wanted to move back into the house we were living as tenants in so they could spend the time there. WA landlord tenant law expressly forbids their actions which we informed them about, but even more so with the shutdown- they were supposed to stay where they were and us where we were, especially because they are older and I, again, am very high risk and was told to quarantine myself. They willfully disregarded all of our governor's laws for the pandemic and continued to enter the house without any notice, refused to wear any ppe, still not even masks, and would almost daily destroy all our cleaning and sanitizing work; forcing me to have to be stuck isolating in one room again; using the kitchen which meant we had to throw away all food because Jeanette likes to put her bodily fluids in food and dishes for "fun," they'd take our laundry out and throw it on the floor in order to use our expensive sanitary cycle washer for themselves which they then broke and refused to fix or replace; they let their dog wander free and walked in and out from yard work tracking in lots of things from outside and throwing dirty tools everywhere... all during the "stay at home" shutdown. We repeatedly asked them in writing to respectfully abide by the laws for everyone's health and safety.

They then angrily and vindictively went about trying to forcibly evict us, despite the firm eviction moratorium in place. We filed the official complaint with state AG Bob Ferguson's office, who told us this was a case of wrongful eviction and they called the Bryants and explained this and told them to stop harassing us. They didn't. Instead, they retaliated with increasingly hostile attacks on us both, burglarized and trespassed, stealing and damaging most of our property- which was all in the process of being packed and moved, as we were trying to get out, even though we had no place to go- we were packing everything into storage. Jeanette continued escalating threats and we tried to reach out to everyone possible but no help came.

They told us they found a loophole to the moratorium, just as Jeanette had done to her first husband when she wanted to leave him- she said she would get a restraining order and that would force us out immediately... we asked what on earth she'd use as a basis for that (especially because we ourselves had been researching how to get protective orders as their dangerous and threatening behavior escalated), because we hardly even interacted at all except in writing and have never done anything warranting this. Jeanette said she would say whatever she needed to, she'd say she was threatened and that she'd be believed because she's a woman and her status in the community.

They followed through after we once again had to call police on them for breaking in, risking my life and stealing our property- Bill and Jeanette filled out a completely proveably fraudulent petition for a protective order and the judge did not even read it nor bother to cross check the facts with existing police reports that would prove it a lie- he approved it, and days later they surprised us by serving my husband and having him removed from our home, leaving me unprotected and without my care taker, disabled and stuck unable to do anything, let alone finish the packing and moving we needed to do to get out and away from them. We don't have anyone in the area to go to for help so I was alone. After they got my husband out, police allowed Bill and Jeanette to immediately move themselves back into the house where I was still residing- despite me trying to tell them that they were abusive AND that WA state law does not allow them to move in like that. The police disregarded me and told me to take it up in court later.

That night, Bill and Jeanette barricaded me in my room. It has 2 doors, so they stacked boxes and heavy materials in front of both, and then each slept in front of a door. They drilled a hole through the wall where they knew my bed/ head was and set up a music device next to it for hours while they went about taking the rest of my property and doing I have no idea what with it- it's gone. They just took it all. They also continued what they've done the whole time we lived there; heavily eavesdropping and monitoring everything I said and did by looking/listening through that hole, through the crack at the bottoms of the doors, leaning against the walls and doors to listen and to let me know they're there; harassing me by talking at me tauntingly through the walls or tapping/dragging fingers across the walls and doors... and more...

Bill Bryant and Jeanette Hazen Bryant also know very well that as part of my illness, I have an extreme heat intolerance- I've had heat stroke before and high temps can make me very sick, pass out, die- especially dangerous alone in that room without my husband. They also know that anything over 75° will kill my care pet of 12 years, my chinchilla. They've given us a hard time over the years about the air conditioning, even going as far as repeatedly and violently dismantling the outside HVAC unit out of spite- and any kind of manipulation or removal of utilities is also illegal under WA law. That night, they took it to a next level. It was already 90° out that day. When they came in and barricaded me in the room, they turned on the heater- full blast and at least at 100° and left it going.

At first I thought they were trying to get me to come out, so they could get to me and/or force me out of the house too which seemed their end game. However after discovering the measures they'd taken to keep me hostage in that room while doing that; the evidence is clear that they were trying to kill me. They knew the heat would hurt me, make me pass out and nobody would help me. They knew in the least it would start by killing my chinchilla, who unknown to them had luckily been taken with my husband so he was safe. But I was attacked. I was imprisoned and tortured and worse. All of my personal, private property was taken. I called 911 that night, but our local police was "so tired" of being called to this house, the operator hung up on me. If she'd sent someone that night when I'd called, they would have caught both Bill and Jeanette red handed.

Instead, I endured that night and through the next morning, when Bill conveniently left and then Jeanette ended up being arrested for unlawful imprisonment when police had to breach into the house to remove the barricade and make sure I was safe. They took Jeanette away and charged her but she was then released the next morning on pre-trial release... she has since violated the criminal restraining order that's supposed to protect me several times and despite the prosecution ensuring me that if she did that she'd be arrested again, she hasn't been. And then Bill Bryant got away, despite having been 100% complicit in all the acts. He needs to be arrested and charged too. But these people have repeatedly told us they'll get away with everything. They told us they have friends in high places, and that their status in the community and things like Bill being a Navy vet and owning a business and house and Tesla will swing things their way- and it has. So far everyone that looks at this sees them and thinks they're above us, that They're better because of the business, the house, the tesla - all just face value; they are in severe debt over the business and house and everything they have was bought with OUR money which they withheld, purposefully pushing us into poverty so that we look, at face value, like we must be in the wrong. And we have not been heard. My husband went to court with a lawyer and evidence proving that restraining order false- the judge REFUSED TO EVEN LET HIM SPEAK. She sided with the Bryants before he even had his turn and refused to let him present evidence.

This is the treatment we've received in general as we're just seeking justice and to clear our names and rebuild our life so we can move on. I have written and called every official I can; posting, seeking public and media support. We really, REALLY need help and we need powerful help. I don't know what you may be able to do, but even if you have suggestions, or maybe could help with a lawyer, I don't know. But I'm reaching out and hoping you're listening.

It's really hard having to navigate this personal situation especially right now when I feel like both our energies could be so much better used elsewhere with everything going on. We are stuck destitute, hardly able to eat, but we want to be helping others. It's frustrating. I'm hoping above hope that I can reach someone with my story that can maybe help us over this hurdle so that we may then use our platforms and energies for better good and to get back to contributing to the community. Please, please, reach out to us if you see this.

Hello everyone, I'm so sorry I'm so behind on responding to all you beautiful kind people it honestly means the whole entire WORLD to me that you care; every message every like every reblog everything it truly just means more than words can express. You've all kept me going, kept be strong not just through this right now but the past 5 years living under duress in this horrible situation, unable to speak about what was happening to me irl but the connections I've had here just it's just everything. Sorry I'm a bit emo at the moment.

And your help with signal boosting is so important and so helpful I can't thank you enough nor begin to explain how much it helps, the impact it makes on the entire thing... please keep it up, send this around the world, get it on every continent- tomorrow begins another week, another day that Bill and Jeanette and their accomplices will be aggressively doing everything they can to silence me. So please, tell my story, tell the public, get it so far-reaching that it can't be buried.

They preyed on me, saw us as a scapegoat, this "perfect" victim on which to hang all their failures, all their debt, their personal and relationship issues, their crimes; Bill and Jeanette are trying to hang everything around our necks and then sink us. They thought that because I'm disabled and had been estranged from my own abusive family- cut off from any help or resources- and because my illness has required me to be physically isolated so much that they thought I've got no friends to turn to either; they thought that because they'd worked my husband thousands and thousands of hours and haven't paid him, forcing us into an artifical destitution, that we'd be unable to defend ourselves from them legally or socially (and I mean like they literally told us this they'd taunt us all the time about how we'd not be able to do anything)... they thought they'd covered every possible angle of our lives, thought they'd trapped us into having to just take the abuse, take on their debts, and live and die under their complete control...

But there's things they didn't account for. They underestimated our resolve. They have failed to actually research the minutiae of the legalities of their actions. They have stubbornly kept their heads planted firmly in the 20th century, and have been so willfully ignorant of the climate they're trying to do this in and negligent of things that humans on every side have already agreed are problematic... they are leaning on their titles, their standing in the community, their friends in high places to aid in this attempt to destroy and bury us...

There's a lot more to unpack and I've got so much to say but the point I was getting to in this moment is this: they did not account for swifties. They, like so many ignorant people, look at me being a Taylor Swift @taylorswift fan as something silly and childish, something that's for 12-year-olds, something that means nothing- but they're so, so wrong on that, aren't they? One of their family members in particular has always looked down on me and my husband, has always spoken to us with such an arrogant air if superiority, thinking he's so much better than us, smarter than us (sadder, badder, cooler? oh-) because he thinks bc on paper he's got better education (only achieved thanks to the hard efforts of everyone in the family including my husband who was supposed to then be next up for that same opportunity except then Jeanette tore their family apart and left him to fend for himself from 16) and because he's traveled the world and has all this perceived culture and experience- I can imagine that person seeing these accounts of mine and laughing at me. Thinking I'm childish. Thinking I'm "slow" (just like how Jeanette told my husband that she thinks I must be r******d because she heard me watching the movie Frozen, a "kids movie" ddgggggsgd)... but... we know.

Swifties know. And Swifties go hard. How many times have we all been so severely underestimated by the world? How many times have we as a group been waved off as some silly girly fan club with no social or political power? How many times have we then stood together worldwide and demolished all the stereotypes and affected real change?

They didn't account for swifties. Help me show them, and again the world, just how much this group of simple "social media fan accounts" can make an impact. Please help me reply to these abusers the way Taylor would. Swiftie F#$*ing Strong.
