Marcus Silva filed suit in March against three friends of his ex-wife, Brittni Silva, accusing the friends of helping her obtain abortion pills last summer to illegally terminate an unwanted pregnancy in violation of Texas’ harsh anti-abortion laws.

Two of the friends countersued Marcus Silva in May, alleging that he actually knew about his ex-wife’s plans before she took the medication and was simply using his lawsuit to manipulate and abuse her as he did throughout their relationship. His previous actions led Brittni to call police to the Silva home twice, according to court documents.

In a Tuesday filing asking a Galveston County judge to either dismiss the case or at least not require her cooperation, Brittni Silva affirmed her friends’ claims and offered additional detail about the situation.

“So now he’s saying if I don’t give him my ‘mind body and soul’ until the end of the divorce which he’s going to drag out, he’s going to make sure I go to jail for [getting the abortion],” Brittni Silva texted her friends last year, according to the filing.

Marcus Silva allegedly wanted Brittni to “play wife” until the divorce was final, the filing stated. She initially agreed, “fearing for her and her young daughters’ wellbeing,” it said.

The divorce was settled in January, around eight months after Brittni filed it.

But Marcus allegedly continued to demand sex and domestic favors from his ex-wife, and he filed his suit against her friends around two months later.

In a transcript of a June 21 conversation included in the new filing, Marcus threatened to upload a sexual video of his ex-wife to Pornhub, adding that he was prepared to do things that would “fck [Brittni’s] entire fcking world up,” such as send the video directly to her family members ― unless she continued to do his laundry.

Of course... as intended. A way for abusive men to control women.

send the video directly to her family members ― unless she continued to do his laundry.

What in the absolute hell.

It's an abuser controlling his victim. They will go to whatever lengths they think they need to. Nothing is too dark except maybe murder, and even that's iffy.

Well shit like this is exactly why people opposed this being a tort

Just another life in ruins because of conservatism and our illegitimate supreme court.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Conservative? That is a funny way to spell Christianity. From every major platform the Christian leaders have been pushing for this system for a century.

Reading this story from NY post is crazy how they frame it. Seems like they leave out a ton of stuff and instead focus on the wives Halloween costume and claim they're making fun of the "murder"

The court filing also includes s a photo of Noyola, Carpenter, and Brittni Silva “celebrating the murder” on Halloween 2022 by dressing up as characters from Handmaid’s Tale, a dystopian book and television series set in a near-future totalitarian state where birth control and abortions are illegal.

Pretty sure Texas is the big brother of Florida

I bet she ends up in jail for the abortion while he gets a restraining order or something along with custody of the daughter.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Then rapes his daughter and she carries the dead fetal mass of incest to term. The way Jesus intended
