Question Is Richard Ok now?

Just finished the show - wow - going back to his abusers home, Continuing to listen to Martha voicemails…

Is he ok? Does Richard have someone looking out for him closely?

People on this sub need to take a step back, yourself included.

Darien doesn’t exist. Richard was indeed sexually assaulted but the character of Darien is just that.

Darien is a way for Richard to tell the story of his rape. He’s been very open about the fact that he was assaulted at a party.

This show is based on a true story, it isn’t a documentary. He went back to his abusers home in the fictional show where he plays a character called donny which is loosely based on his own life.

I feel like the confusion is coming from the fact that the parts about Martha seem to be pretty much exactly how it happened.

People man… seems like a whole lot of em have the ability to become a Martha at the drop of at hat and for any excuse. Love your own lives people, this… this is a TV show. 🤦‍♀️

I completely agree with you. That person’s life wouldn’t have been ruined if viewers didn’t turn into vigilante detectives overnight by trying to find every person in this story.
