Tony had successfully removed all traces of Willa from her home and her life. A few weeks sailed by and not so much as a peep or a random sighting at some club. All seemed well with the world and Tony was enjoying her life as a single butch, newly back on the market.
Until one day I get a phone call from my dear friend. I pick up the phone and before any pleasantries can be exchanged I hear, “The bitch is suing me!”
What???!!!!
So basically, Willa decided to sue Tony for palimony and some other bogus claim that her things were lost/damaged or maliciously destroyed while in the care of Tony.
Of course this was all fabricated. Tony may have been pissed off at being played for so long, but the last thing she would do was ruin someone else’s things just to be mean.
As far as the palimony suit? Give me a break! The only reason Willa ever stopped working was because she was a gold-digging maniac that faked a suicide attempt to get back into Tony’s life. And being the kind, generous person Tony is, let her live with her rent free and totally financially pampered until she got her act together.
They were never domestic partners. There was never an agreement of any sort about financial arrangements. Willa just sort of weaseled her way in there for a while. But now that she was out in the cold, she wanted more. Of course.
So this went on for a while longer. Tony began racking up the lawyer bills just trying to figure out how to get this thrown out. Funny thing about the legal system, honest folks can easily get chewed up and spit out by it. But in the hands of a scam artist, psychopath it usually works like magic.
Not to go into all the legal details, but somehow Willa had managed to get Tony into a corner somewhat. By that I mean, just fighting the bogus lawsuit was getting expensive. So one day, Tony called Willa and arranged a meeting.
They agreed to meet at the Abbey and of course, Tony was there on time. Willa was late. When she finally did get there, she walked over to the table hand in hand with her new butch-daddy, Becky.
Perfect, thought Tony. At first, she barely recognized Willa. It had only been a few weeks but she had lost a lot of weight and looked grungy. Strung out to be exact.
After taking in the new and not-improved Willa, they sat down and Tony got right to business.
She said, “Look, I am not going to pay you palimony or any of the other bullshit you’re trying to get. If I have to fight this in court for the next 20 years I will. And we both know lawyers are expensive. I can afford a long drawn out court case. Can you?”
She paused long enough to watch the two women exchange looks. Then they both turned their attention back to Tony who continued, “On principle alone, if I have to spend a hundred thousand dollars on lawyer fees, just so that I don’t have to pay you palimony I will. So here’s the deal ……”
At that point, Tony took out a sizable envelope with cash in it. (Tony told me I couldn’t tell you how much it was, but it was way more then she deserved.)
Tony made an offer that they couldn’t refuse. Take the cash now and drop all lawsuits now and forever.
It didn’t take much for Willa and her new “friend” to realize this was the best they were going to get. They quickly agreed and Tony had her sign some documents, forever putting an end to the Tony and Willa debacle.
In the end, Tony told me, “”If you ever say I told you so, I will make it my mission in life to throw you in every pool, at every party or event I ever get the opportunity to. Even if it’s your wedding! Even if we’re 80 years old and you walk by a pool in your retirement community, I will tackle you and take your wrinkly old ass down! I swear to God!”
To which I laughed and said, “Geeeez! I get the point. I’m not saying a word.”
Mostly because I don’t have to. Unfortunately, Willa was worse news then even I had expected and I never, ever would have wished her on my friend.
So in the end everything worked out. Albeit expensively, but Tony is now free and clear and just happy that no one died and that she’s not left paying some crazy chick a monthly stipend for the rest of her life.
I think we all learned a lesson here: No girl is that hot.
Like I said before, Tony is a class act all the way. I think I’m in love.
Poor Tony! I kept up with this saga really hoping that Tony would get the last laugh. I’m sorry it ended up the way it did. I can’t believe Willa found another butch – especially one who witnessed first hand her deceptiveness and entitlement issues. Hopefully that’s the last of her!
Here’s hoping for more stories with good outcomes!
I’m glad it’s over, too.
I knew early on in the saga that Tony had been sucked in by a sociopath, and as painful as it is to watch from the bystander perspective, actually being in Tony’s shoes is like living your live in a constant state of vertigo. People like Willa know how to keep you dizzy and off balance so even when your friends think you should be able to stand up and get your fucking feet on the ground, you aren’t able to stop the spinning long enough.
I know Tony has to be feeling a lot of hurt, anger, but the worst is almost the shame because she’s not a stupid person. I know because I’ve been there.
I agree with Melissa. That is a sociopath’s m.o. They can lie straight to your face and you might even know they’re lying but they are so good at it, there is no evidence you can claim. So you end up believing them for the sake of believing in the relationship, even though your instincts tell you otherwise. They are also very charming and this is how they manipulate. Also holding the carrot in front of the nose, teasing but never really delivering. Weaving dreams of the way things “could be” if you are ‘good” and give in to their control. They are masters at debate and argument. They muddy the waters with outrageous accusations so the argument gets thrown off track and the finger of blame starts to point at you when they were the one who was originally confronted. Somehow, even though they are the true shitheel, they try to make you feel like the problem is you. They get off on keeping you upset and unbalanced because they are in control that way. They are sadistic and never feel guilty. Passive aggression is their calling card. It is difficult to remove yourself from the clutches of that relationship, because it takes so long to convince yourself that they could really be that way. They know when to lay the charm on thick, and that is the drug that keeps you locked in. When things are going well, you don’t remember how bad they’ve been. They give you what you want just long enough to give you balance and security and then BAM! they pull the rug out from under you, and there you go reeling again, much to their sadistic delight. They play people like puppets. They will never change. If it ever looks like they have a solid relationship, don’t believe it. I bet that Becky butch has had her share of Willa troubles already. It takes time to heal from the abuse they dish out. Sounds like Tony is the lucky one and is finally free of her. She is smart lady.
