Holmes’ attorney Kevin Downey then showed the court a text message thread between Holmes and Balwani from November 30, 2013, two days after Thanksgiving. In it, Balwani
told Holmes, “when ur family is here I feel very lonely.”
“He’s angry with me because he felt when my family came for Thanksgiving, he felt neglected,” she said. “This is one of the nights where he, crying, came upstairs and did things to me that I didn’t want and hurt me.”
After another time she said
Balwani raped her, she wrote a note on her iPhone, which
said, “Don’t enjoy literally anything about it or who I am if I did it. Hurts so much. So so much. Can’t focus on anything except why? Why hurting myself? Can’t even move let alone do sit-ups or actually sit up.
Lying swollen. Literally.”
Later, she
texted Balwani, “My job is to love you when you’re stressed.”
“I know,” he replied.
