A man in Singapore is seeking more than $2 million dollars in
legal damages because the woman put him in the friends zone.
And that has a very negative effects on his life being someone who has been on
the friends zone on many years ago,
I can attest to the fact that it can cause some damage.
$2 million though I think you might be overestimating your value to
the world buddy.
Anyway, this individual is a drone racing executive K couch.
Again, I believe alleged in a defamation lawsuit that the woman's rejection
caused him quote sustained trauma and quote reductions in his earning capacity.
He's seeking $2.3 million.
A separate case that he had filed was struck down for abuse of process.
I'm hoping this one ends up that way too and
he was ordered to pay the woman's legal costs.
But as ridiculous as all of this is,
there are details to this story that are even crazier.
So first of all you need to understand he sought nearly $17,000 previously alleging
that the woman had breached an offer she made that included offering room for
Kawshigan to share inspiration.
Struggle and achievements and
meeting up based on mutual availability beyond coffee settings,
which is the most awkward, weird way to define a friendship that I've ever heard.
But it's I guess it's important the legalese, he met her back in 2016,
a friendship developed but she wasn't interested in going beyond that.
So she tried to take like a little bit of a leave, like see him less,
he said that such action would be taking a step back in their relationship,
which you're allowed to do if you want to.
But here is the crazy thing that really made this story for me,
as a result of him freaking out over her wanting to spend less time with him.
She agreed to participate in counseling sessions with him which
kept his legal threats at bay.
But after 1.5 years of counseling, she felt the exercises had become meaningless.
That is the most patient, reasonable woman that has
ever existed and she never should have had to go through
a single moment of any of that Ida, what do you think?
>> My goodness, poor women.
The fact that this man feels entitled it is the constant
battle of being a woman on this planet.
The reason so many women get stopped and murdered and abused and
mistreated is because of this entitlement that certain men have over them and
to feel that you counseling.
She should have gotten a restraining orders, what she should have and
instead of going to counseling.
First of all, something's wrong with him, he needs some help because he
can't cope with the realities of rejection in life which we all have to.
Secondly to emotionally terrorize and abduct this woman and
have her held hostage to this situation that was impeding in her life.
That she needs to seek some counseling because she doesn't understand her worth
and her agency.
This is preposterous and
the fact that someone feels entitled to somebody else like that.
That's the reality of being a woman in the world,
always being told that your body and you do not belong to you and
that's just the epitome of it and that is just disgusting.
>> Yeah, this is not based on knowledge.
This is just I guess my gut fear.
Like why would you go through a year and a half of counseling, is it terrified?
Well, no that's why he would,
why would she be willing to think cause she's terrified that the guy might kill
her if she doesn't like she's probably absolutely terrified of what might happen.
The idea that you would have to go through literally any of this dude meet
somebody else.
How do you think this is gonna play out?
You're gonna legally bludgeon her into giving you a chance and
then it's gonna be when Harry met Sally, you're just gonna look back on it and
have a crazy story to tell or something.
That's how you think that this is gonna go.
>> Well, I took your mom to court.
>> [LAUGH] A year and a half of sessions.
It was intensive and rigorous role playing therapy and
then I suitor asked into the ground and then it's been 20 years.
I still love you as much as I did on the first day and
she's sitting there like anyway, this.
>> What drone racing executive, can you tell me because I don't know what that is.
So drone racing, I briefly saw it once somewhere.
It's a sport where you have like a drone and you race it through obstacle courses.
So I think you run some sort of company like that.
>> Okay, has access to information he has,
we gotta start over, we gotta start all is lost.
>> How do you have your life enough together that you could be an executive
of a company and then all of that other stuff is still true Jesus.
Anyway, the one good bit of this news that it's almost certainly not going to go
anywhere.
I first was wondering what lawyer would possibly represent him know he is in fact
representing himself.
And so as the saying goes, he has a fool for a client.
Anyway, jokes aside, I could not feel worse for that woman and
the many, many women who are experiencing less legally complex but
still emotionally abusive situations like this.
