I'm not saying it isn't, but everybody is rallying up saying poor abused girl. She is nothing but a spoiled vindictive little bitch herself. Hopefully karma comes back and bites her in the ass as well.
Some quotes off CNN...
"Adams said Hillary told him that if he "reduced her financial support, and took away her Mercedes automobile, which her father had provided, he would live to regret it. The post was then uploaded."
"Perhaps Hillary Adams should explain, if she felt she was raised by a tyrannical father, a claim shared with no one until five years after adulthood, why she insisted on living with her father and not her mother from the time of her parent's divorce, until she moved out on her own," William Adams said. "Hillary Adams has been living on her own for some time, and has been an adult for almost six years, so why post the video in late 2011?"
Anybody that believes that she released this video for any other reason than to get back at her father for dropping the flow of cash is an idiot.
It looks like he cut off the cash because she dropped out of school right before graduating to work at freakin Gamestop. She'd probably fit right in around here with the bunch of all day video game playing, basement dwelling, dope smoking drags on society I've seen lurking around here.
ps...there is nothing wrong with pot or anything else in moderation.
Again, you're taking what he says as gospel despite the intrinsically self-serving nature of any statements made in situations like this. Obviously one risk of doing terrible things like beating your kids is that if there's evidence in the hands of someone (here, the victim) who gets sufficiently pissed at you for whatever reason, it will be dragged out into the light. I have a hard time getting too upset with Hillary Adams for releasing this, whatever her reasons. He is the one who beat her up, after all.
You are also taking what she says as Gospel.
Hook, bait, sinker...
You can't be serious to scrape "facts" from a carefully and professionally scripted desperate man's PR effort to salvage his hypocritical career, who continues to blame his shortcomings on his abused daughter. Really?? lol It seems his "addiction" is to fantasy, not reality.
dude, there's a video. we don't need to see her talk at all.
I got beat as a kid, but NOT like that.
Apparently she wasn't upset enough about the 'beatings' to leave with her mother.
You are also taking what she says as Gospel.
I see no basis for reaching that conclusion and can only presume you just don't like women, or, for whatever reason, you sympathize with abusers. In any event I think your comments are misguided and needlessly mean-spirited.
Actually I am assuming nothing based on what she has said. I am judging only based on the video. It's clear we have much to learn about why she released this video, but I don't think there can be any question it was done, at least in part, due to justifiable anger at an abusive father.
Answer me this; why would she stay with her father after the divorce if life with him was so bad? Can you explain this to me?
Her father is surely at least partly to blame for the way she ended up.
As I said above, family dynamics are complex. The mom may have been an even worse option at the time of the divorce, and it's also possible the father used his influence over the family court to get custody, by misrepresenting what was going on with the mother. Even teenagers don't have total choice over which parent they stay with in the event of divorce - it has to be approved by the court. Moreover, abuse victims can end up with seriously screwed up perspectives toward their families. I once worked with a molestation victim whose father raped her from age 3 to 12, and she loved him a lot.
Frankly, even if, for the sake of argument, Hillary Adams released this tape maliciously and is, to adopt your presumption, a vindictive bitch, how do you think she got that way? Do you think this is something that happened independent of her father beating and screaming at her? Bad parents often produce bad kids. Her father is surely at least partly to blame for the way she ended up.
Talking about me grasping straws. Isn't it much more likely that in reality she liked the lifestyle he afforded her more than she disliked supposed 'CONSTANT abuse'?
Most of the vindictive, manipulating, mind game playing turds I know got that way because they knew that behavior would get them what they wanted.
I acknowledge the video and also that he went too far. I just can't believe the crap that is coming out of her mouth when the verifiable fact is that the girl stayed with her father after the divorce. WHY THE HELL would she do that if life with him was that bad? It makes NO sense at all.

I knew she used the video as leverage to keep getting $$$. The fathers career is over and this will hang over his head for the rest of his life, he is getting his punishment.
The daughter is just starting what will most likely be a crappy adulthood. I wouldn't touch her with a ten foot pole knowing that she is capable of being that vindictive. I doubt many other guys with a functioning brain cell would either.
You are extremely naive. She lived with the 'monster' after her parents divorced. That right there completely removes all thought that she was scared of him or anything else. She would of knocked the door down to get out of that house when her mother left if she truly felt that way.
Defaulting to the side of the abuser is, also, alarming.

not if you are also an abuser
What does it prove? It also doesn't make sense that women who are beaten in relationships stay in them.
Apparently she wasn't upset enough about the 'beatings' to leave with her mother.
You are also taking what she says as Gospel. I agree there is take where a father goes over the line. The truth is probably somewhere between both sides of the story. It almost always is.
If you take the worst moments of my childhood in regards to punishment, it would likely look similar. I got my ass beat a couple times during my teens probably past the point of what would be considered acceptable today. In hindsight, I deserved it, and it made me a better person today. What little I would change about how I was raised would probably be that my parents were not strict enough. I had to learn some life lessons that cost me dearly during my 20's that should of been learned from my parents. That did the best they could though, and that is all you can ask.
