Just wanted to say hi there as a fellow pituitary adenoma sufferer (who has non-adenoma related vision loss.) Twinsies!

Yep, I know this all too well … which is why I feel so badly for Vili. I want him to be free of this monstrous woman and maybe find some happiness. He is still very young. He could create a whole different life for himself.

The baby voice, the cutesy hair flip, the sickening way she sits with her legs all tucked underneath her in this interview—it’s like she’s self-infantalizing to pretend that she’s just a girlishly happy woman in love and forget that she is a middle-aged child rapist.

And he was the one who was tasked with raising the children while she was in jail. He was a single dad at 13 years old!

I see what you’re saying now. I thought you were referring to the so-called teenage fantasy of having a sexual relationship with one’s teacher. Anyway, I guess one can fantasize about marriage to one’s abuser. It’s just very disturbing and sad.

“teenage fantasy” doesn’t seem like the right phrase. He was barely a teen when she started preying on him and soon after he became a father.

:-( I really hope he and his daughters end up doing alright. LeTourneau ... I just hope she doesn’t teach again ...

She knew him for that long? I've known kids for that long. She watched him grow up.

I don’t think you misunderstood. That’s what I got from it. Shit seemed to have finally gotten real for him. No longer the teenage fantasy, but the grown man reality.

That woman is such a predator.

“The reason for me telling them that was just from, out of experience,” Vili said. “A relationship could lead to something that you think you wanted back then. You don’t really want it, maybe, years later.”

I saw this trending on Facebook with the title “Ex-Teacher Explains How Affair With Student Began.” Uh we know how it began, he was a child in your sixth-grade class and you decided to have sex with him.

She’s probably thinking “Look! We’re still together and our children are ok so I’m not all that bad!”

She lost her license after the scandal? “The scandal?”

I watched this shitshow last night. Mary Kay continues to be batshit Disney-princess delusional, and poor Vili seems to hate his life. Well, not his daughters. He seems like a good father, and I think it’s great that the girls seem so well-adjusted. But man … if his facial expressions are any indication, he fucking…

We live in the area. We’ve had enough of Mary Kay LeTourneau to last a lifetime already.

Mary is working as a legal assistant but hopes she can return to teaching ... She is still registered as a sex offender, but is trying to get her name removed from the registry.

“out of context”

Probably everyone has said some dumb/offensive/problematic shit in the last decade. No one is perfect. But if someone calls you (general you, not you specifically) out on saying something problematic, even if it’s something you said a while ago, you should stop and reflect. And own up to what you said and apologize,…

THANK YOU
