I thought, after Judge Acero's very clear explanations, warnings, opinions, and advice... we were walking in there to do a quick contract write up and sign the thing and be done. Easy peasy.

But nothing is easy peasy with Zayn Silmi. He latches on to these little ideas in his head; he doesn't research or understand the law; and he bald-faces lies to judges, lawyers, and anyone/everyone around him.

The terms from Acero were:

- I take down my Instagram and Reddit accounts and do not make new ones, or encourage anyone else to on my behalf
- I agree to not use Zayn's name or any fake cosplaying "business names" in any public forum
- Zayn drops his pursuit of his hairbrained contempt allegations
- We all move on in "peace"

But Zayn doesn't want peace.

He wants to control me, and he wants to control the narrative, and he wants the freedom to commit fraud and defamation unchecked, with me having no voice to contradict what he does or says.

In front of our presiding judge he plays Mr. I Just Want Peace Sadface Nice Guy, and our judge has told him "this is the only way to get that - the court cannot infringe on her First Amendment rights and cannot order her to stop talking about you, she is offering you what you want, you should consider it".

But Zayn is a different person in front of these neutral, somewhat blind third party settlement judges. He walks in there ego first, feet second.

It all came down to ONE issue:

Zayn refused to agree that the terms would be mutual.

That right there tells you and I (and the judges) everything we need to know.

Zayn refuses to agree to ALSO stop talking about me, to not do podcasts and media interviews about me, etc. Tell me how that's fair? Explain it like I'm five.

So what was the point of wasting hours of our time yesterday, and literal MONTHS of the court's time, taxpayer dollars, etc?

Power.

I have NO DOUBT whatsoever in my mind, that this fool thought he could make me disappear and delete the walking internet billboard of his fraud and shame.... and then he would turn around and publish a podcast about me - as he has done twice before. He would use his leverage and reach with social media "influencing" etc to make sure over 200,000 people from his combined accounts would see/hear wildly untrue shit about me.

And then I would be legally barred from responding, retorting or defending myself!

That was his hairbrained plan. I promise you.

I said that to the settlement judge, and she said "Well you can sue him for defamation if he does that." And I said "Sure! But! I would not be able to TELL ANYONE that we had a new lawsuit, or what was going on, and I couldn't use his same venue - social media - to address the things the public would be saying in the comment section! I wouldn't even have my own social media account to make my own statement!" The judge just nodded and said she understood where I was coming from, and why I wouldn't agree to ANYTHING that was not equal, fair, mutual and reciprocal.

The audacity of this man to think that it would be logical or successful to make "rules for thee but not for me"!!!!?????

So for the THIRD time, in our THIRD mediation session, after FIVE hearings and hours upon hours of our lives talking about it round and round in circles... Zayn has yet again REFUSED to end this. He agrees, at first, each time, then moves the goal post and reneges his offer at the very last second! He tells the mediators he refuses to budge, and blows the entire deal, pissing everyone off for wasting their time. He could literally just be honest and say from the start of the session, "here's what I will do and here's what I won't do, so there's no point in discussing it" and save us all time. I would have left after 20 minutes instead of 4 hours, if he would have said, "Nevermind what I told Judge Acero the other day.... I have changed my mind and will not agree".

He has always - as it was clear in the 2021 hearings - wanted a "gag order", and the court won't do that.

I can't believe I even offered to gag myself?!!?

So our trial begins August 20th. I have already provided evidence and statements and a witness list, refuting every single allegation in Zayn's contempt affidavit/application to the court. I feel very confident in my defense (and his inability to PROVE, with evidence, beyond a reasonable doubt, ANY of his allegations) as do my attorneys.

And I guess the great news is that no matter what happens in that trial, I have my consitutional freedoms for the rest of my life, to make sure everyone always knows who the fuck Zayn Silmi really is. And every employee who doesn't get paid, and every cleaning lady, and every charity donor, and every landlord, and everyone he fucks over WILL have a voice and a platform. For the rest of time.

Oh, and he also wanted me to agree that when I publish my book I can't tell anyone "this is based on a true story" even though the names are fake. I agreed! I even offered to use a pen name so that my name as the author couldn't easily be traced to our story on the internet!!!!!!!!!!! I guess I should be flattered that he is so frightened of my book. Lol.

He had it in the bag and he fumbled it and unfortunately, I will continue to be a loud, poisonous thorn in the side of his reputation - for the rest of our lives. Good job, Zayn. Good job. Way to find "peace".

Anyway - as I have always warned everyone - do NOT trust this man, do NOT enter into any contract with him, and do NOT think he won't do allllllll of this shit to any one of you if you dare to challenge him and his delusions of grandeur.

See you in August, with bells on!

Dear Zayn,

I am so truly and genuinely sorry that you are such a dysfunctional moron, that you did not realize that in order to operate a 501c3 charitable organization, you must follow strict laws, including registering with the Office of the Attorney General, and receiving permission to operate and gather donations in the state of California. 

I am devastated for you, that you are so dumb, that you thought you could get away with testifying that you never received any donations while dozens of people who HAD given you donations, filled out affidavits to the Attorney General proving that you were lying.  And when the Attorney General demanded you provide your accounting records, I deeply apologize that you refused to comply, resulting in your two permanent Cease and Desist Orders for charity fraud.

I carry so much remorse in my heart, that you thought that while having a suspended LLC - a result of you not being able to comprehend the most basic business administration laws and tasks - and while never having asked the city of Sacramento if it was okay to operate a retail store on R Street (and not registering or paying the appropriate taxes to do so) - that you could, without checking on any permits or zoning laws, operate an "animal shelter" in a store next door to a michelin-nodded upscale restaurant patio.  It devastates me that code enforcement shut you down, and forced you to close up shop.

I am SO sorry that your scheme of infiltrating Front Street Animal Shelter for your own clout and profit, using your homies Gina Barbato and Bobby Mann to embezzle donor funds in the tens of thousands, resulted in Bobby losing his job and Gina being disgraced and run out of the city.  It will haunt my conscience forever that you and your attorney chose to meet with Sacramento Bee editor Yousef Baig, which resulted in him pulling a Public Records Act request so that all the world was able to see the internal Front Street documents and emails proving your collusion and fraud.

I am filled with remorse that your attorney threatened to sue me for defamation not understanding that in order to do so, the words said must be untrue.  It obviously hurt your feelings when I posted the letter and laughed at you and told you "see you in court".  I will never forgive myself for telling you and Gina Barbato to "fuck off" when she started emailing and calling the partners of my husband's law firm on your behalf, threatening and harassing them in an effort to try to get them to make me stop talking about your fraud.

I am devastated with grief and remorse that you continued to host fundraisers while knowing you were not being in compliance with the law, which resulted in continued public scrutiny on social media.  

And then, when you and your cronies made fake accounts photoshopping my face, spending all hours of the day and night trying to hunt down my extended family all over the country, messaging all my followers, harassing their employers, threatening and scaring them, harassing my own teenage daughter, threatening their school and alluding to kidnapping them.... my GOD you don't understand how deeply sorry I am that scare tactics not only do not work on me - they make me GO HARDER in defiance!

Then, of course, I must take accountability for how you messaged me out of the blue after I had never had any contact with you, and you were full of shit, begging me to meet with you anytime, in person, to discuss how wrong you insisted I was.  And when I took you up on your offer and stood talking to you - with witnesses - in the Ice Blocks parking lot, I am just so so sorry you called the cops and completely fabricated the entire interaction, suddenly claiming that you NEVER invited me, and insisted to be in fear for your life because my cigarette butt bounced near your foot!   

I guess next I have to apologize that you thought it was a good idea to publish a podcast with SugaBear and advertising it to 200,000 people on social media, calling me "racist", "mentally ill", and other fun slanderous things!  Then, even though you told the police you were frightened, you publicly declared that if I came to your store to "apologize", you would be so kind as to give me one of your generic stolen t-shirt designs from Peace Collective in Toronto. I am so sorry  you did all that, because once again, that meant I could certainly never shut up, and never stop filing complaints about you to government entities as you continued to publicly display your fraud.

Naturally, when I took your podcast quotes and made an Instagram account refuting all your lies, you printed out all the pictures and captions and called it "harassment" and tried to claim it "put your life in danger".  I am so sorry you felt the need to play victim and do that!  Your hypocrisy fills me with remorse and sadness daily.

Obviously, I would be remiss to not apologize that you and your homies thought it would be a good idea, and that nobody would notice, to throw a massive, massive party in Eddie Murphy's former mansion in Granite Bay, complete with a shuttle bus to and from a parking lot, and heavily armed security, and a DJ, and drunk/high underage teens everywhere, showing the scene all over social media!  And during a global pandemic!?  I am so sorry that your Instagram "close friends list" betrayed you, and that Lina Washington from ABC blasted you on her Twitter, resulting in several news articles being published about you, humiliating you.  It hurts my heart that Wide Open Walls made the decision to fire you from their board of directors the next day.  I will always regret the fact that you would no longer be able to use them to pad your own pockets and embezzle more charitable funds - you know, like how you used that photographer and refused to pay him?  I am so sorry I helped him finally get paid what he was owed.

I am MOST sorry of all, that you then decided to scapegoat me for all of the public humiliation you were faced with, and file a completely false restraining order against me with no accompanying evidence whatsoever, claiming that I sent you "credible threats of death and violence".  Will you ever be able to forgive me for the way you and your attorney and his family threatened me behind the scenes, while committing over a dozen counts of perjury on the stand?  Will you forgive me for the fact that you unnecessarily hired an investigator, a gang expert, and a ruse of a therapist, all of whom had to be paid to waste our time?  Will you ever forgive me for the fact that your cousin-lawyer, Ramsey Abboushi had not one fucking clue what he was doing the whole time, and didn't explain to you that those witnesses were not ordered by the court and therefore I could not be compelled to reimburse you for their services?  Or the fact that his dumbass didn't know that attorneys fees needed to be claimed and filed within 21 days - which he did not do?  I am so sorry your cousin-attorney fucked that up for you, and I am once again just positively filled with remorse that you have no legal repercussions left, and I will never ever pay you that money we know he never charged you anyway.

Let's fast forward a couple of years later because I definitely owe you an apology for the EIGHT false police reports you filed about me.  You know, when you falsely claimed on at least two occasions, to have seen me driving around your home or store "violating the order"?  And you gave the police the description and license plate of a vehicle I had sold several years before and had the title transfer to prove?  I am so fucking sorry you did all that, to no avail!  And the THREE times you begged the District Attorney to prosecute me, but you had no evidence, so they rejected your applications?  I am really so sorry!

I apologize that you do not know how to operate a functioning retail store, and that you keep getting evicted from your locations by your landlords, and that you feel it is unneccessary to pay workers their wages.  I'm sorry they keep quitting on you and filing wage claims against you!

I am so sorry you are so obsessed with my husband, or with baiting me, that you spent all that money on sugary Starbucks drinks 4 days a week so you could take pictures of my husband's office building and his car!  I'm sorry you wasted all that time hoping to have a "gotcha" moment you never received.  Thanks for blessing the commUNITY with your "support local" but "fuck Israel boycott" hypocrisy!  I apologize for your choices in that regard!  I'm definitely showing remorse for the way you boasted about not being afraid of anyone, but when you saw my husband that one time - you and Samir bolted across the street on a red light to skedaddle on out of there!

I am so sorry those loan sharks are after you and you have to make a convaluted paper trail and hide your assets behind numerous fake names and addresses and you have to keep changing bank accounts to avoid liens!

OH the remorse I feel about your Halloween fiasco, and how your ratchet event turned into a disaster, with burned bridges, thousands of dollars owed in every direction, and a viral TikTok scandal!

You can't IMAGINE how utterly SORRY I am that your bitchass grifter friends from Sircles - who you testified you gave $100,000 in donations to - thought they should insert themselves into my life!  I'm sorry they threatened to sue me, pissed me off, and made me start side eyeing their finances, and participating in the widespread and scathing criticism happening all over the internet.  I am so sorry Rob Williams blew up his RAD Radio life and took all of you down with him.  I am SO SORRY John Worthington and Danny Hinkle decided to start fucking with me and I am SO SORRY they sent their baby lawyer from San Francisco to charge you a bunch of money for doing fuckall besides breaking rules of court and prolonging our court nightmare for an extra year!

I am so sorry that you felt the need to lie in court some more, with still, per usual, no evidence, and get an extension on our order until 2029!

I am so sorry you feel the need to keep filing continuances, and refusing to file required documents, or refusing to serve me as required by law, and you enjoy delaying things - you know, like how you made the Appeal last a year longer than it needed to?  How can you ever forgive me for showing up to court to defend myself every time you drag me here?  

Oh, Zayn, please forgive me!  You just can't imagine how sorry I am for your fucked up choices in life!  The remorse I feel for the shame you have brought upon your family name, knows no bounds.  The way you have doubled and triple and quadrupled down on positively DESTROYING your own reputation over the past six years, will haunt me forever.  

I am just so, so, so, so, soooooo SORRY!

With Utmost Sincerety,

Andrea

The hearing was supposed to start at 1:30.  I got there around 1:10, and about 10 people joined me in the hallway. Around 1:15, Zayn emerged from the elevator with his mom & dad, David Garibaldi, and Ahmad (Rashed) Abboushi from Diamond Autosport (direct cousin of Ramsey Abboushi, disgraced former attorney).

My attorney walked up at 1:29 with two of her interns from the Office of the Public Defender.  They went inside to meet and confer with Judge Acero and his clerk, and they were in there for over 30 minutes.  We all thought that was a good sign - and indeed, it was (I was told this by my attorney after the hearing, when she filled me in).

We went inside just after 2:00 and sat down, and my attorney and I each pulled out a notepad.  Nothing else.  But Zayn layed out his copious stacks of paper and folders and notes all over the table, because he erroneously thought we were holding the trial that day - and I will tell you why.

What happened was, a few days prior, he had filed a Request for Continuance, claiming he had "just hired new counsel" but they weren't available that day.  He gave a list of proposed dates in July and August.  The judge DENIED the Request, and wrote in the order that the parties needed to discuss this at the already-scheduled hearing, but that the parties did not need to worry about being prepared for trial.  Essentially - he was definitely going to grant the continuance, and he did, but first needed all parties' and attorneys' input there in person where it would be easier to coordinate, and the court could document the two new attorneys' names and representation. It was going to be a quick, 5-10 minute calendaring session.

But Zayn is lazy, and dumb, and doesn't do his basic requirements according to the Rules of Court.  You see, Zayn was required to go pick up that written denial Order and serve it to me or my attorney.  But he neglected to do so.  So he never read what the judge said.

Since he did not serve me, I was forced to go down to the courthouse to get my own copy to see what it said.  So my attorney and I knew that this hearing was going to be a simple, brief conversation about the calendar, and.... we (correctly) assumed the judge wanted to know what the fuck Zayn's problem was after he fumbled the settlement conference in April, and like - how has it taken over 8 months of continuances to find counsel, and why wasn't the alleged counsel listed on the continuance request?

Although I normally share everything on Instagram right away, when I read the denial, I paused and I thought to myself, "Hold up... omg, Zayn never picked up this Order, so he hasn't read this..... omg I BET he's shitting his pants thinking it was 'rejected' (a totally different legal distinction) and he's thinking he HAS to proceed with the trial tomorrow even without his alleged new counsel!"  Hahaha.  And I was RIGHT!  Hahaha.  

He showed up totally having had spent the past few days scrambling  and writing his opening and closing statements and organizing his evidence and begging his witnesses to show up.  He even said so in court, "I haven't slept in days" and "No, I want to proceed with the trial today, I am prepared with all of this... (gestures at stacks of papers)."  The judge informed him that this is impossible.  Legally, since he stated he has counsel, the court cannot proceed and my attorney cannot speak to him or question him.  He would know that, if he had an alleged new attorney.  But he's full of shit.   He's so utterly dysfunctional and predictable. 

Acero said we needed to pick a new date for trial, and my attorney offered up some dates.  

Then, Acero asked why April's settlement conference failed.  Zayn went on one of his usual - at this point, verbatim - rambles about how he is so distraught all the time, his "intensive therapy" and being unable to sleep or eat.  He claims to have spent "over $100,000 in legal fees over the past six years".  He said he just wants "a peaceful life" and for this to stop.  

My attorney chimes in that she was not present at said conference, but it's her understanding that it came down to some monetary demand that her client (me) refused.

Acero re-explained, for the FIFTH time, in now the fifth hearing, that I have a First Amendment right to talk about him, and this case, and so it's pointless to continue asking the court to order me to stop, because they cannot do that.  He reiterated that *I* had offered up exactly what he wanted, and said, "Can you really put a price on peace, Mr. Silmi?  I don't understand why you're pursuing this."  The smugness I contained inside myself!

He went on to question Zayn how sending me to jail for a couple of days and making me pay a $2,000 fine to the court could possibly help him get what he wants - because I will just keep on talking about him, as is my right.

Zayn rambled about being in the right, and having "so much evidence here".  He referenced the Appeal decision, falsely claiming that it affirmed how many times I had "violated the order".  I assure  you, it did not say that.  It couldn't have said that, because I was never accused by any court of violating the order, so that was not an appealable issue that needed to be affirmed or denied.  The Appeal has quite literally NOTHING to do with this current case.

He rambled about how I would never pay any fine issued to me anyway. (?) He ranted about how I hadn't had to pay a single dime this whole time because I just get represented for free by my friends, and now the public defender's office. He said one of the reasons he did not want to settle back in April, was because the "other judge" (Gevercer) "didn't appear to be on his side" and made it seem like it would be "too hard" to make sure I was held responsible for whenever I would inevitably "violate it again". He said, "That judge made it seem like I would have to come back to court and have more hearings to prove it". Yes, duh, Zayn, that is literally how court works.  

Acero confirmed, "Well he was right, and we already discussed that you would have to file something and bring evidence to court, because it would be a legally binding contract... in fact it's my understanding you both stipulated to an amount...."

I interjected, "Yes I offered up $5,000 per offense, because it doesn't matter, I won't be violating it." Acero nodded, "See and that's way more than the statutory $2,000 you're asking for now. I don't get it..."

I asked if I could please speak on the matter further, because my attorney was not present and I was not represented by her at the time of the settlement conference. He nodded.

I said, "Your Honor, everything we discussed in that hearing for potential stipulations, which was recorded in a Minute Order, and I know you wrote it personally to Judge Gevercer because I saw it written, (Acero nodding) ALL of that was fine. In fact I had already deleted my website AND my reddit account AND posted a whole farewell to my audience on Instagram before going in there and I had the proof all printed out. And everything was fine until the very last second before signing. Then he suddenly demanded $15,000 or he would walk away, which sounds a LOT like extortion, and which he obviously NEVER mentioned in front of you. And he claimed it was for attorney's fees, but he's been in pro per this whole time, like me. So no, I refused."

Acero nodded, looking concerned at Zayn.  

Zayn started rambling incoherently about how he has so much evidence... then said, "Your Honor, she mocks my attorneys, the court, jail, she laughs about how she hasn't been arrested yet - and by the way, none of my attorneys have dumped me! That's another lie she tells! And I've paid all of my attorneys! Do you know how much it cost to have the one appear for three hours back in September? Just for Ms Cunningham to not agree in mediation? I won't agree to anything that doesn't include jail time for her. It needs to say 'jail' as a consequence, because I promise you she won't pay the fine! She's never paid for anything! No one holds her accountable! I had a therapist, and a gang expert testify in 2021 and she did not care! I had to pay them to be there! She loves this. She uses these court hearings to harass me! She's gonna write a book and profit off me financially! I just need to be protected and safe!"

Acero stated "Well, you can't have jail time as a punishment in a civil contract." Zayn argued back about our "quasi-criminal" contempt matter having a potential 5 days in jail. Acero simply restated what he keeps telling Zayn over and over to no avail, "Jail time won't change anything for you, it won't give you the solution you claim to want."

Zayn went on, "Fine! I don't care about the money! I just want to be left alone! She has been relentlessly attacking me and I have lost so much of my life the past 6 years! I'm 30 years old!!! She has no remorse for how much of my life she's taken from me! I hope someday it clicks for her in her mind and she takes accountability! This is why I also want her to issue me a public apology!"

The judge had heard enough and we chose August 20th as our trial date.

My attorney made a demand to know who Zayn's alleged "new attorney" is, because no one will respond to her attempts to ask, and she cannot speak with Zayn or meet and confer, or trade witness lists and evidence, since he has declared he is under respresentation. Acero asked Zayn to provide the name for the court. Zayn stuttered that he hasn't actually hired "her" yet but she would "maybe" be representing him. !!!! He deflected further by saying, "Maybe we can just do mediation again, even though I am prepared to do this today, I have prepared opening and closing statements, and all of my evidence." Acero re-stated that we were not proceeding with trail today.

But Acero WAS delighted at the idea of a new round of meditation, and asked if it was ok with the parties to use Gevercer again. I said "Yes" and Zayn said "No, absolutely not, I would prefer a new judge." Lol? Acero agreed to find a new judge, and told us that it may take a week or to do so. Just like in April, Zayn protested the "delay", and urged this to happen sooner, even today if possible. This, coming from the guy who just filed a continuance request for August dates!? Make it make sense! Acero repeated himself about finding a colleague.

Zayn said "If we are going to do this again, can you please tell Ms. Cunningham to go into it with peace in her heart, and good intentions this time? And to stop prolonging this? I have never done anything to her, I have never attacked or disparaged her, she keeps saying I just want her punished or to go to jail, this isn't about jail, or the money, this is about peace."

Acero reiterated that he has to find a colleague and it will depend on their schedule.

Zayn's Dad stood up from the audience, "Can I please say something Your Honor?" And shockingly (inappropriately?), Acero allowed it. His entire speech focused on their demand that any settlement include an order that I issue a public apology from my platforms before shutting them down. He wants me to "take accountability" and "show remorse" for the "damage done" to his family. He said his son "does not need the money, he will let that go" but they need an apology from me. His Mom sat there, tears in her eyes, tissue in hand, nodding along. My god, the theatrics!

I shook my head no, emphatically, trying not to laugh.

Acero deadpanned: "I will be in touch about the mediator then."

My attorney refocused: "I do need an answer about Mr. Silmi's attorney. I have been emailing a paralegal who contacted my client, and I am receiving no response". Acero told Zayn to cough it up. The sheepish, reluctant way Zayn stuttered out a quiet, "Uh... it's, I mean, hehe, it's Leah. Leah Vulic." It will live rent free in my head forever.

I knew it!!!!! I turned to my attorney and said, "Sorry, I have to do this - YOUR HONOR....!" And all composure left my body as I pointed out that this was the attorney who briefly watched us on Zoom but said nothing in September; then refused to file the ordered First Amendment brief in October, then Zayn received now three continuances, claiming the entire time that he couldn't find counsel, and has "just now" (literal finger quotes in the air, to Acero) found new counsel, but it's the same counsel!?, are we serious right now?... and meanwhile, she has ignored me every time I've asked if she is continuing representation so I can serve her properly, and her paralegal keeps acting as process server but won't respond to my attorney now either, and... and... and...!?????

"I HOPE YOU CAN FINALLY SEE THE GAME THAT IS BEING PLAYED HERE, YOUR HONOR."

Acero nodded and looked at Zayn, who simply replied "I only got one continuance, actually" (LIES - literally one in November, one in May, and now this one). Acero said "No, you received them."  Zayn countered, "Well, this one was denied, so..." and Acero said, "No, this one is being granted."

Acero just repeated himself, "Ok so we will be in touch about the mediation, I hope both parties can come to a peacful solution."

As I left the courtroom, I was met face to face with Ahmad (Rashed) Abboushi and David Garibaldi GLARING menacingly into my eyeballs. Being afraid of no man, and certainly not these trash versions, I smirked and raised my eyebrows and gave them each the bitchiest, most crazy-eyed look LOL. Because fuuuuuuck BOTH of them. They're both just objectively terrible men. Gross. Fuck both of them for being part of this drama for the past six years. Fuck the entire Abboushi family, and fuck deadbeat Dad influencers everywhere.

I stood doing a little closure meeting with my attorney and her interns in the hallway, said bye to a few people, and sort of glanced down at the crowd moving toward the elevators. Zayn's Dad couldn't help himself. Once again, as at every hearing - including the one he was violently ejected from in January, screaming and cursing - he HAS to harass my supporters. It's like his entire family has no concept of decorum.

He asked everyone why they choose to support me, and choose to believe all of my "lies" about his son. He told them to find peace and get a life. Zayn chimed in, whining at them about how he doesn't know any of them and doesn't care what they think and how he's Mr. Nice Guy 916. My supporters basically just called him a "scammer", pointed out that everything he does is "public record and on the internet" and told his crew to "find the elevator" and get lost.

The audacity. The delusion. The sheer ignorance. The weaponised incompetence. It is so painfully obvious that he gets this from his family - that THESE PARENTS created in their spoiled, only-child-syndrome prince, the pathological issues I have been fighting for the past six years. That all THREE of them don't understand how charities, or taxes, or business laws, or government entities, or commercial leases, or trademarks, or car registration, or car loans, or parking tickets, ir police reports, or evidence, or slander, or harrassment, or restraining orders, or lawsuits work. It's a fascinating case study in genetics and family culture.

My attorney asked one of the male attendees to escort me to my vehicle, and expressed her concern about what "these people" could be capable of after the delusion she just witnessed in there. One of them obliged, and I did honestly feel better. My head stays on a swivel at these hearings - especially if there's an Abboushi afoot. Shady ass family.

So anyway, we have another settlement conference on July 9th. Keep your fingers crossed that this idiot doesn't waste any more of the judges', or the court's, or my attorney's, or my time. Send thoughts of intelligence and executive function skills towards Zayn, that he may finally hear and heed Acero's ad nauseum warnings to him. This literally could have been over in April, but here we still are, going round and round and round in circles. Let us pray that this finally ends now. I will update you all accordingly.

Oh and p.s. - my attorney is fully ready to go to trial, and has already begun preparing, and is FULLY confident, as I have been this entire time, as has been Erin, and my husband, and quite OBVIOUSLY the judge too - that I will prevail. At this point, it is clear that in the court's eyes I am the reasonable one while Zayn is showing his true, petty, malicious, ignorant, vindictive colors. I truly hope Zayn realizes that and moves accordingly.

As always, thank you for your continued support!
