I will not be approving any of Karlyn’s puppets on this essay. Not sorry about it either. With all due respect, you have no idea what you are talking about or how she is using you to hurt others. Peace.
Keri, i got introduced to you through her (I found out about her from Rubin or Crowder). I watched her stuff for about a month. I watched your stuff for about 18 months now and still do. I think you and Carter are both amazing people and your dynamic is electric.
I guess authenticity wins for me. Harlow was correct, you're a beautiful and pure soul, one of the things that got me onto Unsafe Space was how much joy, beauty, and positivity you find in almost everything. Authenticity wins, Keri. Keep doing what comes naturally and speak about ideas. And LISTEN TO CARTER and avoid drama like the plague. I watch you guys and not her. The End.
Great to see Borysenko exposed. Paying attention to what others went through is instructive for all of us in future dealing with such personality types. The analysis helps me understand the actions of a deplorable person that I find it difficult to fathom. I have trouble even imagining what motivates and drives her actions.
This was excellent, Keri. I think that awhile back I shared with you about kind of almost feeling bad about being involved in the Karlyn drama. I know that God doesn't like a gossip, but I also felt the importance of letting people know about her and how I had personally been treated. It's interesting how uncomfortable some of us felt about what was happening and being involved in it, like it makes you feel tainted. It makes you feel especially bad when "Christian" is in your profile and one of her minions says something like, "What kind of a Christian speaks out against other people like this?" Then the very next church service I attended made a point of analyzing the part of the Lord's Prayer that says, "deliver us from evil" and how, in fact, it's not just our prayer, but our duty as Christians to warn others about it.
Boy howdy it also feels like a duty when you tried to help and promote Karlyn in the beginning. It feels like fixing a mistake you made...when you didn't even really make a mistake, you just got bamboozled by a psychotic con artist who was able, for a brief while, to present a sincere facade. Even while you are trying to make people aware, bad actors on the left attack you for being fooled in the first place as though they've never fallen victim to these kinds of manipulators. There's no "winning" here. That isn't what this is about for those of us who are speaking out. This is not about victory. It's not about revenge. It's about letting others know that someone who is personally an awful individual has clawed her way to a certain amount of influence that she doesn't deserve and frequently abuses.
Even now, you see people say, "I'll follow her for the CRT stuff..." but why? Follow Chris Rufo or James Lindsay instead. It's like saying, "...well, at least the trains are running on time...so..." Your point about how folks ignore things like this is spot on. I'll never forget reading that the former CEO of reddit, Ellen Pao, said that she had been to a venture capitalist Christmas party where Ghislane Maxwell was present and EVERYONE knew that she supplied underage girls to Jeffrey Epstein, but there she was, clinking champagne glasses with the hoi polloi. At this point, everyone knows or has access to the information about Karlyn and her personal behavior. She shows ZERO indications that she ever has any gut-check moments. Her personal convictions change with the winds. Under Mikey's video there's a comment that perfectly encapsulates her persona. Mikey made a statement supporting her allegations against The Ingleside Hotel and she made a passive aggressive dig at Mikey being "dramatic". There he was, trying to support her and she had to get her claws out a little.
Everyone can tell that she's the kind of person that, if you invited her to your Christmas open house, would take a large chunk out of your homemade brie en croute, eat it and then say, "Did you use the double creme brie? I always get the triple creme brie. It's so much better than the double creme brie." And because you are the hostess you can't say, "Well, you ungrateful twit, you can leave through the door you came in through." But truly, she can leave through the door she came in through. She can take her spiteful soil and toxic personality and git.
Keri I thank God for your openness and courage. My heart breaks for the pain and fear you suffered at such a vulnerable age. I am so thankful that through God's kindness and intervention you were able to open those flood gates that many of us have kept sealed shut for so many years. I pray for you and Carter and your work on Unsafe Space regularly because I think that God has placed you both in a special position to speak knowledgeably and authentically to a lost world. Thank you for sharing your story. Your Brother in Christ Ted.
A very lovely heart-felt essay Keri. I'm sorry you were abused by your Mom. You didn't deserve that, no child does. Whenever I hear about someone suffering such abuse in their childhood, I become overwhelmed with gratitude and appreciation that I had the parents I did growing up. My folks weren't perfect of course, but they were always loving. Stories such as yours breaks my heart. I feel so very blessed and fortunate. I just wish everyone could have had the same fortune as I. Thank you for sharing such a difficult part of your life's story Keri. That can't be easy. In any event, best regards to you and yours, and Merry Christmas as well!
I didn't realize things had gotten this crazy. I also wasn't paying a whole lot of attention. I saw something off in the individual this is about after a video they posted about an attack on a friend of theirs but made it a point to maximize how the attack affected them most.
It felt weird and ugly and after that any time the person went after someone online I usually said to myself "Oh, if this person is attacking then the person on the receiving end is probably either not awful, or fairly decent."
Sorry if this is confusing, I just find no value in mentioning their name. You seem like a super cool person Keri.
I had a difficult experience with a woman who I thought was like a sister to me. I even made her Godmother to my child. But all along, she was lying, manipulating, reversing victim and offender, and everything else -- for years. Her goal wasn't fame or money. She was trying to get a husband, and it was difficult for her because she had a serious weight problem, so she used manipulation. The first man she was chasing required her to be my "friend", so she was. When he ultimately married someone else, she destroyed the person who introduced him to his new wife. One would think I should have realized something about her at that time, but she was very charming, and very good at explaining away things and gaining people's trust. Her strategy for the next man she decided to chase required her to throw me under the bus to get his attention. She destroyed my reputation with lies, and I lost most of my friends and my entire social group, who believed her; not me. So I kept my mouth shut and took the high road, but I suffered from depression for many years after that. In many ways I've still not gotten over it, because I don't trust people in quite the same way. I am so sorry you and Mike and others were victimized by this woman, and I am SO GLAD Mike made the video! I hope that others will see things for what they are, and get away from this person before it's too late. Because the things they do to others, THEY WILL DO TO YOU TOO.
Thank you for sharing this Keri. I love your insight and your bravery. You are truly modeling the way I want to live and the way I want my children to live. Thanks also for the best knitting podcast.
Sorry you experienced abuse as a child. That kind of trauma is so wounding because wounds always have lies attached to them. As kids, we believe those lies. Only Jesus can reveal the “real” truth.
I love that there is so much encouragement and redemption in your story. Your faith is so real. I know Jesus had his eye on you from the start :)
Crappy Childhood Fairy has a youtube channel that is so full of help and wisdom. I'm so sorry to hear about your childhood and relationship with your mother. I've found the Crappy Childhood Fairy's Daily Practice to be really powerful and empowering. Please check it out. She has a free course which explains in detail how to do the Daily Practice. It's less than an hour long.
Our lives are so similar, I'm simply 20+ years ahead of you. I, too, told a counselor at my middle school about my mother, yet after she spoke to my mother nothing changed except for the addition of a couple hours of ridicule and derision. But God does work all things to His good, and much of the abuse I suffered has been turned into helping other people know they aren't alone, and yes, can go on to live good lives. I knew there was something off about Karlyn but except for the drama and exaggerations I couldn't articulate what it was. I'm glad she's out of your life.
Keri, I had a similar upbringing and can certainly relate. I just caught up on the show from Mon and my heart breaks when you get emotional. You are such a caring, genuine person and it really shows. This article made me think. I definitely struggle with this. I rationalize it one way or another - but you are right. It's still very hard, I can count my relationships on one hand and can't afford to lose any of them. But if I'm holding back what kind of relationship is it really? Something to think about. Thanks Keri.
I will not be approving any of Karlyn’s puppets on this essay. Not sorry about it either. With all due respect, you have no idea what you are talking about or how she is using you to hurt others. Peace.

Okay let me first say I support you and when she tried to steal anti woke from anti feminists I stopped watching her.
Sorry you experienced abuse as a child. That kind of trauma is so wounding because wounds always have lies attached to them. As kids, we believe those lies. Only Jesus can reveal the “real” truth.
I love that there is so much encouragement and redemption in your story. Your faith is so real. I know Jesus had his eye on you from the start :)
