Ok so this is pretty complicated and painful to talk about but.. I’ve essentially had my life ruined over a false allegation that’s been spread about me. I went to court, proved my innocence, and still nothing changed. I’ve tried to speak out on it on my own personal accounts online and still nobody cares. It really feels like an “guilty til proven innocent.. and even when u prove ur innocent ur still guilty” situation. I’m a musician and basically my ex girlfriend (diagnosed with BPD) had a psychological break and started confusing me with her rapist from a few years back before I even knew her and started telling all of these stories that weren’t exaggerations but whole heartedly completely untrue… just things that weren’t even a conflicting POV, they were things that just straight up didn’t happen. Complete fabricated lies. I have legal documents and court transcripts to back up what I’m saying and I even filed a motion for a false police report against her. It’s really hard to deal with because I do support women’s rights and the general idea behind feminism and that more women need to speak up but unfortunately some people just lie.. I don’t really know what else to do about this, I’ve already lost my childhood best friends because they’re involved in the same music scene and don’t want their reputation tarnished by being friends with a “rapist” even though they genuinely don’t believe I did any of those things. I never thought I’d be posting in a men’s rights subreddit but I literally have no clue what else to do. Ideally I’d like to get my story out and to speak on how damaging false allegations can be, because there’s really no legal recourse for me to take unless I want to spend tens of thousands of dollars trying to sue her for defamation but even then it probably would be useless. These claims have straight up ruined my life, I was suicidal, I’m afraid to go in public, I’ve gotten death threats all over something that legitimately is just a flat out lie. If anyone here could offer support or would like to help me in getting my story out in some way my DM is open.. thank you.
