Discussion RJ communal guy using LM for personal gain

TLDR: The RJ guy gives off weird opportunistic vibes, and seems to be exploiting LM by spreading lies in order to promote his communal living space co. 

Wanted to start off by saying thank you Mang0Eat3r for clearing a lot of things up!

Hi guys, first time posting on Reddit but I’ve been keeping up with LM’s case through this subreddit and just wanted to put my two cents in regarding the RJ communal living guy, because from the beginning I could tell he was lying straight through his teeth. 

I thought it was strange how quickly the RJ guy jumped to do a CNN interview https://youtu.be/JnSi-lPkWEQ the day of LM’s arrest. In the interview he kept talking about how he saw all his tenants as his “children”. He also talked about how he tried to reach out to LM multiple times this year. He said LM had called him, and he didn’t pick up the call but he wishes he “put more effort into communicating with him”. Something about his body language and responses felt really insincere, but I thought I was overthinking it. 

Until I saw that he did his own personal press tour, by interviewing with multiple stations/channels like MSNBC, Law&Crime Network, and Fox News, basically regurgitating the same few details that he “knew” about LM. In this interview https://youtu.be/ih_-zmaI9lA, he talks about how it has been a tough 24 hours, and it’s unimaginable that his close friend would m*rder someone. He claims he’s doesn’t follow a lot of media but was so quick to jump at the opportunity to air out LM’s personal business, not to mention that he keeps presuming L is guilty. He even went out of his way to tell Fox news that he was the one who suggested his book club (that he claims LM was in) to read Ted K.’s manifesto. 

When he told MSM that LM couldn’t be romantically involved with anyone due to his back I knew that lie came right out his mf ass. But unfortunately, that false information spread like wildfire, and now all these people claim that LM must have been going through it mentally if he couldn’t have sexual relations due to his back. It’s crazy! And his old landlord is beyond messed up for that. 

MSM outlets have even interviewed his former high school classmates?? I am not sure if other people are reaching out to stations to speak with them but I think it’s pretty clear that the RJ guy jumped at the first opportunity to profit off this situation.

I hope he stays away from MSM outlets, and keeps LM out of his mouth because he’s done enough damage.

No friend would ever give out intimate details about someone’s sex life like that. If it’s true then it’s a major violation of Luigi’s privacy and if it’s false then it’s a disgusting smear. Either way this guy seems like a hack and jumping on to CNN the day of his arrest and giving out as many personal details as possible is just so opportunistic and disgusting.

Why he did that? Just for 3 minutes fame?

I already asked this somewhere else but does anyone have the clip / timestamp of RJ saying LM couldn't get *intimate* like that specific word? Because I watched several of his interviews and I couldn't catch that part anywhere, I think it was just published as an article no?

NYT article. I could have sworn I heard it in a video interview too, but I can't find it. Will update if I do.

Yupp, he definitely did and he’s no friend to LM. To add to your point, his roommate said RJ was never around and LM never spoke to or talked about RJ. No real friend would speak so openly, literally to the WORLD, about someone’s sexual history and issues that are as personal as intimacy.

And what’s crazy is that people from high school and middle school teachers of LM are giving interviews?? Like that was YEARS if not a decade ago. Like how much do people change in 1-2 years and these people act like they know LM despite not having contact for 5-10 + years. So many clout chasers!!

OMG I saw him on CNN and he seemed creepy to me and like he was just trying to promote his apartments. I mean if he treated the people living at his apartments as his kids like he claims why is he blabbing all over the media? Also I would never want to stay at one of his co-living spaces. Can you imagine living there and then having him reveal all your intimate details? If what he said is true and he told him that in confidence can you imagine having your most painful private matters revealed by someone who you thought you could trust? Definitely a trash person 🚮

Yeah he’s no more than a landlord and acquaintance to LM, definitely no friend. He’s the ceo to a program that houses young people from all over the world traveling to Hawaii, which LM took part in, that’s all. His fiancée is Chinese and I saw several people on Chinese social media who knew him (including the girl who posted the LM ice cream photo), one girl made a post exposing RJ of sexually harassing her during her stay in the commune, and another girl said many of his female tenants had the same experience. He’s a terrible person

my wildcard theory is that RJ was somehow involved and did the media tour in an effort to pollute the narrative with a preconceived image of LM as struggling mentally. throw them off his own scent, so to speak. many criminals offer themselves up to “help” in investigations like these for this exact reason. remember how he slipped up and mentioned he was the one who recommended they read the TK manifesto? plus the “he called me, I wish i’d made more effort” bullshit is a nice alibi for any call logs that might surface from LM’s missing months.
