In reply to the discussion: So, it's looking like the whole Platner "controversy" [View all]

(6,746 posts)62. The two Dem women said that he had a darkness and was troubled basically. They accused him
Of nothing remotely like what Fifield said. I believe them and so does Platner as he’s spoken of this past that he is not proud of. If you read the whole article you would see they never claimed physicality or claimed he talked about his Nazi tattoo so what would they have to go along with.
Jenny Racicot, 41, a Maine Democrat, who said she dated him casually off and on between 2019 and 2021, said the posts deepened her belief that he did not respect women. “When I saw the old comments that he made online,” she said, “I recognized a version of him that I had experiences with.”
The three described him in similar terms. Spending time with him could be exhilarating, they said. But they also recounted patterns of heavy drinking and womanizing. Asked to sum up how he treated her, the third woman said she felt like “collateral damage to the world that is his.”
That’s your sum total of the other two.
Gee a bad boyfriend. Good for him for acknowledging that. I’d bet there’s millions of bad boyfriends who would never accept that part of them and work to be a better man.
