    Hearsay is still hearsay. The only fact is that none of us know what the facts are about any of those people’s behavior in private.

      I’ll believe multiple personal accounts over a long period of time more than some conspiracy theory that Watts is being targeted by Israel.

        That’s fine, I’ll continue to reserve judgement without concern.

          How about from McCollough herself?

          In that same Notes document, McCollough addressed the flip side of her situation. “Reasons I AM worried about the manic episode,” she began, listing the times she believed she overdosed and highlighting scientific findings about the long-term effects of heavy ketamine usage. McCollough was direct about her views on Watts’ role in her substance intake. “My partner is not totally supportive of me resting or abstaining from drugs. I feel his judgment / resistance when I abstain or barely partake or want to do more research before partaking, because it confronts him with a message about his own drug use that he is not ready to receive yet.” She notes, “There are absolutely things I can do to improve this by asserting stronger boundaries, but I also need his support and understanding.” (Watts offered no response when asked about McCollough’s claim that he didn’t allow her to take breaks from drug use.)
