Dr Drew saying celebrities are always enabled by "yes" people.
I feel this is what happened to CMJA her whole life.
It began with her parents - whenever she would perceive some slight by her parents, she would throw a tantrum/act out - which led to the parents over-spoiling her. I believe it's the opposite of what CMJA claims - that actually, her parents gave HER more attention than her siblings, b/c she craved it craved it, and if they didn't give it to her, she would pull out the "you don't love me like you do them" card. But whatever they did, it didn't work...eventually she became so sensitive to them, that any small thing they did or say would set her off. Them inquiring about her pot-growing set her off for good, and she moved out.
Next came her boyfriends. She would do things to please them, but eventually they would catch on to her psycho/stalker-ish ways. They didn't want to set her off, knowing it would cause he** for them, involving days of crying and long e-mails and repeated calls and general drama. They would rather just give her what she wants, like trying to avoid a tantrum with a 2-year old. So they would give her what she wanted and tell her what she wanted. Yes, Jodi, you're the most beautifulest. Yes, Jodi, you're just like Monet. Yes, Jodi, you could take pictures for National Geographic. Yes, Jodi, you are so incredibly smart. Yes, Jodi, you are so kind. And on and on.
In the meantime, the parents are still yes people, reaching out to her and trying to win her back in whatever way they could. Never scolding her for fear she would never talk to them again. Or God forbid, commit suicide.
And then there's Travis. He was also a yes person in the beginning. Lending her money, telling her she's beautiful and a goddess, supporting her photography, loaning her his car, letting her stay at his place, supporting her in whatever way he could. After all, she moved to Mesa and didn't have anyone else except for him. How could he turn his back on her and shut her out? Or, God forbid, what if she committed suicide because of him as she threatened to do from time to time? How would he be able to live with himself then? She was not a stable person, he knew that. And he was not about to push an unstable person to the point of committing suicide.
Then.....after the murder there are still yes people!
Media - so much interest in her and they believe every word she says!
She tells them story after outrageous story, and NOT ONE reporter calls her out on it. JA takes this as fact that they believe her and that she is doing such a good job with her stories!!
Defense Attorneys - everything is about Jodi. Let's order psychologists to talk to Jodi. Let's set up meetings with Jodi. Let's let Jodi tell HER side of the story. Yes, Jodi, the abuse was absolutely awful. Yes, Jodi, you are such a victim. yes, Jodi, you put up with a lot. Yes, Jodi, he was a cruel cruel man. Yes, Jodi, you had every right to defend yourself. Yes, Jodi...what else do you need?
Fellow inmates - asking Jodi the "celebrity" for autographs.
But THEN, FINALLY.......there's Juan who with a smack smack smack puts her in her place.
And then the JURY.....BAM. No, CMJA we don't believe you. Go to prison and pay for what you did.
I wish the Jury had delivered a resounding NO, though, because in a small way they were a Yes....Jodi some of us believe you were verbally, emotionally, and yes, some of us believe, physicall abused. Yes, Jodi, you were the victim sometimes.
I hope the final jury ends this YES cycle for good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'd like to put her on spin cycle for about six weeks with a jar of peanut butter and a bag of feathers.
