The events of the last couple of weeks have been a complete defeat for Lloyd Evans don’t let him fool anyone otherwise. Over a year ago he reckoned he was well within his rights to use patron money to cheat on his wife and visit prostitutes every couple of months and he said so in those terms on his livestream and in his statements. He invited his audience to judge for themselves. The verdict came back and it was a resounding rejection by the majority of his viewers and patron supporters. For most of the following year LE valiantly tried to hold that line in the face of everyone credible leaving him, Andrew Gold, Dr Das, over half his patrons, and more. He kept ploughing that same rotten line regardless.
Last week, in a complete volte face LE dropped all his self justifications because he finally realised nobody was ever going to buy it. Instead he concluded he had no option but to hide behind the welfare his wife and family (and Tibor) and vague references to “defamation” instead of telling his audience what he really thinks about his right to sex. Whatever way he paints it, that is a tacit admission that his position is indefensible and he can only attract new supporters by obscuring his real position. Now all he can do is hope his new supporters don’t search “Lloyd Evans defamation” in any search engine because his recent patron boost is built on lies and obfuscation and he knows it.
