Statement from Josh Homme
Yesterday, Josh Homme issued a public statement which was sent to various media outlets.
Many of you are familiar with my book, The Narc Decoder, which helps to make sense of the word salad and false narratives that are often created by individuals with larger-than-life egos. I downloaded Josh Homme's statement and placed it through the Narc Decoder to help me understand exactly what he was trying to say.
I took the liberty of rewriting the statement in a way that I find to be more aligned with truth and reality — of course, just my personal opinion as a blogger.
Revised Statement:
“Because the abuse allegations and findings against me in the past were so severe and damning, I have historically refrained from making public statements about my family to the media. In light of silencing my ex-wife, a victim of domestic violence, coupled with the recent public exposure that I sent our children into a controversial reunification camp, Family Bridges, I believe it’s time to take control of the narrative. It is my sincere hope that this will all be brushed under the rug, and my version of the story will be believed since Brody Dalle is legally prohibited from responding. Super convenient that I can speak, yet she can't defend herself. This is like a dream come true.
Based on my well-documented abusive behavior, and the allegations of abuse lodged by our children, Brody Dalle found herself in a situation similar to many other protective mothers; our children were resistant to going with me during MY parenting time. After being found guilty of contempt for not sending our youngest child to a visit with me, Brody was sentenced to community service. I love to envision her picking up trash on the side of the freeway, and her public statement annoyed me:
Brody Dalle stated, “I’m relieved by the court’s decision. I don’t believe anyone should go to jail or pick up trash for protecting her children,” she said. “As a mother, I will always put my children first and protect them at all costs.”
That statement was like nails on a chalkboard to me. Someone, please make her stop talking. In February 2022, she was still talking - in fact, she testified under oath that I had confessed to fantasizing about her murder and had head-butted her so hard that she “saw stars.” The court found that I had committed domestic violence during our marriage and issued a three-year restraining order against me. Obviously, it was time to step up my legal game.
Just one month later in March of 2022, and in line with research out of George Washington University which shows that a mother making allegations of abuse against the father is likely to lose custody of her children when cross claims of “parental alienation” are lodged, I successfully took our children from Brody Dalle based solely on claims of parental alienation.
The term "parental alienation" or "parental alienation syndrome (PAS)" was created by disgraced psychiatrist, Richard Gardner in 1985 for the purpose of deflecting the court's attention from child abuse claims against fathers. This is a debunked concept, based on Gardner's clinical observations, not scientific data, and is not recognized by the American Psychiatric Association (APA), the World Health Organization (WHO) or the American Medical Association. It is however, widely embraced by family court professionals who are deeply entrenched in the AFCC and those in the alienation industry. Double bonus, I have both on my case!
It has been exactly one year since I removed Brody Dalle’s ability to contact or communication with our children. Because I am a white man with great wealth and resources, I will remain the sole legal guardian of our children until a custody hearing in the fall of 2023. Conveniently, the court has pushed the custody trial to October which will mark a year and a half since legally severed her relationship with MY children. I showed her.
Because domestic violence is about power and control, I am triggered by Brody Dalle moving forward in any area of life such as career, financial prospects or romantic partnerships. Any attempt on her part to move forward in life causes me emotional harm and places my ego in great danger. I will use all of my power to portray her and anyone who dares to support her, in a negative light. Hopefully this isn't too obvious by my PR statement, is it?
Because the professionals colluding to keep Brody Dalle from MY children are now under a spotlight, efforts have been made to silence her, hold private, off-record meetings in chambers, and seal aspects of the case to avoid scrutiny and public outcry. Judge Gould Saltman issued a “no-harassment” order which is different than a typical restraining order yet, the narrative that I would like people to believe is that the court found her to be a ‘danger.’ The basis of the order, as stated by the judge is:
“The court orders Brody Dalle to not publish or allow others to publish private information regarding Joshua Homme, the children, and Joshua Homme’s parents. Brody Dalle Homme is to take all steps necessary to have those removed from sites where they have been shared.”
I am grateful to the Los Angeles County Courts, minor's counsel and certain court-ordered monitors for not questioning the narrative I created, and for carefully utilizing the debunked and denounced concept of “parental alienation” to help me succeed in maintaining power and control over my ex-wife, Brody Dalle. Because the bias and corruption in this case is so overwhelmingly obvious, I feel confident speaking on behalf of the Los Angeles family court system, to share our joint hopes and goals. It is my sincere hope that everyone will fall for my attempt to play a hero card, and a victim card, simultaneously. I have no desire to coparent MY children peacefully given that I have successfully severed the relationship between MY children and their mother, for over a year.”
