Okay so now that I figured the spoiler tag out, >! Basically a wildly successful vegan restaurant owner in New England (back when all-vegan restaurants were new and rare) got romantically involved with a con artist who went on to scam her (and later, her mother) out of hundreds of thousands, if not millions of dollars, and costing her her business because she was getting scammed out of the money she needed for payroll, employees not only quit but protested against her, said owner and her lover at one point were fugitives from the law and ran to go hide in Vegas, and got caught when she had pizza delivered to their hotel room (which the media just ate up, the “all vegan girl” gone criminal getting busted by ordering fucking Domino’s) and a whole bunch of other stuff. Where that line becomes relevant is she explains just how much he warped and twisted her sense of…everything, like reality, perception of herself and others, etc. and how he always had a way of making all of his lies and stories make sense (even though most of it was just because, as she found out after the fact, he wasn’t clairvoyant or some shit, he’d just hacked her phone and emails) and getting her to go against her better judgment and that of her friends and employees, and towards the end of the story when her life is actively falling apart around her, that’s when she said that at some point she willingly chose to keep believing him because it was easier than admitting the truth (she had been lied to and scammed and this man was ruining her life, business, and reputation) !<
I’m pulling from memory here but you get the point.
I remember this! He told her he could make her dog immortal. And after everything he put her through, they were still on friendly terms when the doc aired. 🤯
YO HE DIDDDDD. I forgot that part. And yeah the very last scene is >! a phone call between the two of them that had that "when he calls and tells you he wants to see you and you're like 'bro fuck youuuuuuu, I'm off at 7 tho come scoop meeee'" vibe !< lmao
