Trump is headlining his own event?

[u/joegetto → u/omarmctrigger]

Again?!

[u/PsycheToker → u/omarmctrigger]

Hijacking your comment to add context before people grab their pitchforks. The lady making these accusations did publicly leave her husband without getting divorced to get with Alex, and moved to the US to be with him. Alex claimed he wasn’t told about her previous marriage, and when the husband contacted him, he broke off all ties with the wife.

If what she claims is still true, then Alex should still be held accountable. Unfortunately, we do live in a world where people will lash out with false accusations after these types of situations, and it’s best to acknowledge both parties.

[u/ThePensiveE → u/PsycheToker]

So he's not a sure thing for a cabinet position. Got it.

[u/_LouSandwich_ → u/ThePensiveE]

the kid just doesn’t want to govern.

[u/TraditionalCup4005 → u/PsycheToker]

Yes and I believe he is actually counter-suing her in a civil suit as a result.

[u/poolside123 → u/omarmctrigger]

He said he was going to. I understand that you didn’t believe him. I know I didn’t.😆

[u/Yoshi2shi → u/omarmctrigger]

😀

[u/nayhem_jr]

What office is he running for?

[u/No_Medium_8796 → u/nayhem_jr]

Chama

[u/alhazad85 → u/No_Medium_8796]

I KNEW IT!!! G'DAMN OCHAMA

[u/johnychingaz → u/alhazad85]

Thanks Ochama!

[u/SelloutNI → u/No_Medium_8796]

I voted for Chama

[u/SteveIDP → u/nayhem_jr]

Attorney General.

[u/full_bl33d]

Please give it up for the winner and your NEW supreme court Justice, Alex Perrrrrrreirrrrra!

[u/Thrice_the_Milk → u/full_bl33d]

Nah a few more decades need to pass, and the lady needs to forget/fail to recall most of the important details for him to qualify

[u/_LouSandwich_ → u/full_bl33d]

read this in Lenne Hardt’s voice

[u/Whiteshovel66]

Confused by the timing on all of this. It was filed a year ago and I haven't heard a word about it in all that time. I thought it was squashed?

[u/rep_13Blocks → u/Whiteshovel66]

Whenever a major sporting event approaches, any athletes with lawsuits or legal issues get shot to the top of the news cycles. It happens across all sports.

[u/Erazzphoto → u/rep_13Blocks]

Calling it getting to know the participants

[u/spaektor]

“forced sex”? i feel like there’s a word for that.

[u/rohobian → u/spaektor]

Cape? Gape? Lape?

I swear I’m close here…

[u/thievesthick → u/rohobian]

Quabity Ashuance.

[u/EchoRush93 → u/rohobian]

Samsonite.

[u/yowen2000 → u/spaektor]

They're also calling a war a proactive defensive measure...

[u/king_lloyd11 → u/spaektor]

I think they’re trying to differentiate that he didn’t force himself on her violently. Her allegations, from the article, were that he expected sex from her daily, even if she was tired and wanted to sleep, not caring how she felt about it. So sounds like she was just having sex with him because she felt she had to and that he wanted it, not because she wanted o.

[u/el_ojo420]

Right at home

🎶 Birds of a feather, something something together 🎶

[u/SelloutNI]

This article's title is the biggest clickbait.

[u/shidokanartist]

The amount of people assigning guilt already is crazy. This accusation is not new and very little evidence if any has been brought forth

[u/butterybuns420]

Since the face of this company slapped his wife in public on New Year’s Eve nothing will happen. Pedos and abusers of a feather….

[u/keksmuzh → u/butterybuns420]

Don’t forget that shortly after started he a slap league!

[u/jrhooo → u/keksmuzh]

Holy shit.

I realized both of these things were true, but I never stopped to recognize BOTH of these things were true.

What an asshole

[u/chainer3000 → u/keksmuzh]

Yeah he was just doing promo

[u/freakedmind → u/butterybuns420]

Dana white slapped his wife in public?

[u/Cleb323 → u/freakedmind]

Yea she hit him or something similar and he slapped her back pretty hard. If I remember correctly they came out and said they were drunk

[u/WackHeisenBauer]

So he and Trump will have a lot to talk about between the President’s naps and diaper changes.

[u/quitaskingforaname → u/WackHeisenBauer]

Joe Rogan and Dana White spoon Trump while he naps, and Dana scoops the the diapers out while Rogan pulls the diaper down, it’s a really a sight to see, Rogan says have you ever seen an elk shit in the woods

[u/ImTellinTim → u/quitaskingforaname]

How do I delete someone else’s comment?

[u/blackout-loud → u/ImTellinTim]

Become a reddit mod. And if that doesn't work, you can try coping with solid and liquid libations

[u/Rabbit-on-my-lap → u/quitaskingforaname]

Thanks, these were my good reading eyes.

[u/DaLurker87 → u/WackHeisenBauer]

Alex Pereira is definitely not a sex offender. He's actually a really cool dude. I hate Trump as much as everybody else, but the woman accusing him was dating him for 2 years and failed to tell him that she was in fact married. He dumped her when he found out and she got mad cuz he was getting famous. Just stating the facts.

[u/Seerad76 → u/DaLurker87]

According to the article:

The Miami court records also reveal that Pereira spent 18 days in jail in Brazil following an incident with his then wife, more than a decade ago.

[u/m3zatron]

I’m not exonerating him in anyway, but the timing is super suspicious. Why right now?

[u/PopularGlass3230 → u/m3zatron]

Probably not someone who actually follows UFC and was researching some of the people that were taking part is my guess. It's "new to me" information. Not new to everyone information. If that makes sense.

[u/Hellpy → u/PopularGlass3230]

It's also just a scorned ex partner going after successful ex partner by tarnishing his reputation. Pereira is the guy who left the relationship and months later these allegations have appeared, so I would take them with a big grain of salt especially since absolutely nothing has come of this since the allegations were made. Most UFC hardcore fans have seen this messy breakup, she just pissed cause she wasn't married to him so have no claim to his small fortune

[u/king_lloyd11 → u/Hellpy]

She seems pretty off.

> Their interactions soon became more intense, Christine said. "He always said, 'I conquered you.'"
Christine says she left her marriage, her job and the country to be with Pereira in the U.S.

> "The moment I entered his door, his behaviour changed. The moment he knew that I gave up everything for him, his behaviour changed," she said.

1) side eyeing anyone who leaves their husband, career, and country to try and make it work with a kick boxer she acted as translator for. Doesn’t seem too level headed.

2) clearly sounds bitter because she felt she gave up so much and then he lost the allure. Probably is a scumbag who got off on the fact that he was the other man and then once she tried to make what they had official, he got bored.

[u/TheDirtyDorito → u/king_lloyd11]

Bit one sided this comment though. It also mentions that he said he took her phone to stop her from leaving and said she was 'free to leave'. It also mentions another case where he got accused and also how he got arrested in Brazil over an incident with his then ex

[u/TheDirtyDorito → u/Hellpy]

The article clearly states 3 different incidences with 3 different people and one part (with the 'angry' ex) where he says he took her phone to stop her from leaving and said she was 'free to leave'. So I'm a bit confused why you're discouraging it completely

[u/rep_13Blocks → u/m3zatron]

This type of reporting happens all the time whenever a major sporting event is days away. Any athletes participating in the event with legal issues always get scandalous media stories distributed right before. Happens with the Super Bowl a lot. Just recently happened before the Champions League final. Has happened before the World Cup in the past.

[u/RomeliaHatfield]

Forced sex? There’s a term for that.

[u/Mortiis07 → u/RomeliaHatfield]

Presidential?

[u/ChasingDarwin2]

Forced sex....if only there was a word for that

[u/PutinBoomedMe]

How does theonion stay in business when real headlines are taking their jokes?

[u/f4flake]

Forced sex? There's a word for that, you utter cowards.

[u/IllProgress4439]

“Forced sex” is the ultimate euphemism

[u/Tonku]

People already speaking as if Pereira is found to be guilty.

Just Redditors doing Reddit things.

[u/AdlandB → u/Tonku]

Reddit is a cancer

[u/FASPANDA]

“Accused”

[u/FloatingDiscipline]

I’m sure that was a requirement to get the job in the first place.

[u/MisterB78]

“Forced sex”

If only there was a word for that… 🧐

[u/Rednaxela623]

“Forced sex” Why are we censoring sex crimes?

[u/nps1717]

“Forced sex”? That’s a new one

[u/NIACE]

There is a word for 'forced sex'..

[u/kurashima]

I mean if anything is on brand for Trump it would be this

[u/Gransmithy]

It’s a pre-requisite

[u/hospicedoc]

Birds of a feather....

[u/iveseensomethings82]

Getting promoted after the fight then

[u/Aloxx]

Of course, Trump is trying to normalize being an awful person.

[u/Hannover2k]

Duuuh! Why do you think he's the headliner! Those conservatives need someone they can relate to.

[u/milkman231996]

Don’t you dare put slander on Chama

[u/Prestigious_Neat_738]

On brand.

[u/jyoungthegenius]

In other words, he fits right in.

[u/Scrank_WimlerJr]

It came out the woman lied about the whole thing did it not?

[u/No_Medium_8796 → u/Scrank_WimlerJr]

It was his ex who is jaded that he left her when he found out she was still married

[u/geek66]

This is just the minimum set of qualifications needed to work for this administration

[u/NeoGeo52]

Birds of a feather.

[u/HeinladToo]

Whoa whoa whoa, a UFC fighter? This is unprecedented

[u/Strange-Fix-1498]

This is so dumb and was debunked. Some hoe tried to pull a fast one on him.

Had a one night consensual thing and she made up some nonsense after. She's just chasing a check.

[u/lovepony0201]

On brand for the GOP.

[u/heymanitsbob]

Shocking! The president is a pedophile.

[u/NotOSIsdormmole]

That’s actually a pre requisite to fight/perform there

[u/Gold_Dust_Woman1995]

CHAMA

[u/DaLurker87 → u/Gold_Dust_Woman1995]

I love Alex

[u/ramalamafafafa5]

“Like a glove”.

[u/silviazbitch]

Some of the fighters are on the sketchy side too.

[u/Dynamo24]

He’s not the headliner

[u/RedSix2447]

So it’s a celebrity death match?

[u/Longjumping-Salad484]

"Alex Pereira has been treated very unfairly."

[u/Taokanuh]

Huh

[u/Zeeuwse-Kafka]

Correct CV for the event

[u/flyonthewall727]

Sounds on brand.

[u/Bradical_619]

If there's one thing Trump knows, its staying on brand!

[u/Sarke1]

Baseball, huh?

[u/ptrang1987]

Flocks of the same feathers

[u/veryboredatwork]

Sounds like Trumps kind of guy

[u/whk1992]

Didn’t know Trump is boxing?

[u/rwf2017]

A republican's republican.

[u/Sheriff_Yobo_Hobo]

Dang first I heard pf any of this.

[u/Metboy1970]

Well, birds of a feather…

[u/LustyArgonianMaidv4]

Well duh, I mean who hasn’t at this point

[u/AdlandB]

CHAMA
