@@eldio2124 calling him intelligent is like calling people with antisocial personality disorder and narcissim smart. that's like calling elizabeth holms smart. these people build their success on smoke and lies until it all comes crashing down on them.
so yes, people like him ARE intelligent. but intelligence applies to many skills. at the end of the day he still hurt people with his actions. that's what really matters, not debating whether or not he's intelligent.
This was actually the most interesting part of the video for me (although that relationship stuff was mind boggling). I want to know more about the relationship between intelligence and maturity. I never thought about it before.
I'm one of those but I don't just like them, I also do my best to leave a smart-ass comment just to get a "heart" from him, which always makes my day! LOL
I can relate to that, actually. When I was first with my narcissistic girlfriend, I thought I was the happiest I’d ever been in my life. Things went downhill, and now with hindsight, I can see that I wasn’t actually the happiest I’d been. Or maybe I was, but regardless I was being manipulated to feel that way.
When he said “just a reminder, I’m not diagnosing anybody in this video, only speculating about what could be happening in a situation like this” *I felt that* 😩😩
That is just because he keeps it professional - you cannot diagnose correctly from afar, it takes in depth Work with the individual and ofcause the right toolbox (education). Actually that very statement makes Dr. Grande very trustworthy😉❤️👍.
I believe Deviant Personality Disorder was used as a diagnosis in the Diane Down's case which Dr Grande has covered, it wasn't an official personality disorder back then or now and I believe Dr Grande touched on this.
I'm so impressed that you can pronounce his name, I've heard it said it dozens of times and still can't. I'm really glad that you covered this individual, nice to get a professional perspective.
Wait, really? Not being a jerk just curious! 🙂 It's definitely an unusual name. I also hadn't heard of it before this video, but it kind of seems like it's just pronounced how it's written.
You should do an analysis on Jonny Kim. This guy was a Navy SEAL, went to Harvard Medical School, and is now an astronaut. It would be fascinating to look at what motivates a high performer like him, it would be something different from the criminal types we usually see on this channel.
My guess on why the relationship ended so abruptly is that Smythe's failure to find a publisher for Shkreli's biography and the fact that her letter of support failed to secure his early release led Shkreli to conclude that she was no longer of any use to him. Narcissists do tend to use people and drop them when they can't get any more from that person, I have an ex who has done this exact thing to multiple partners, though not from prison thankfully.
Considering what she's said about it, her behavior, and a recent article about her experience, I'd say she's also a narcissist. She was pretty aware that they were using each other, and it was part of the draw for her. It seems she's fine with the break up (she says), I guess because she's getting all kinds of attention (still), they're "good friends" (so she still has some kind of relationship with him to exploit), and she's still working on "a book". She's sometimes described herself as an "interloper" in her self written mini bios online for various websites she writes for. A cynical, salty, yet also whiny attempt at a quip. She gets to be a "rebel" who is special and above it all while still being some kind of "victim". She seems to be contrary just to be contrary. Her husband tried to save their marriage, and told her the guy was using her, that she didn't deserve that. She accused her husband of just being randomly controlling and she is happy to have been "manipulated" by Martin, so she could be "free" of her "awful" (and she insinuates "boring") husband and job. I honestly couldn't read the whole article she wrote about it because it was just insufferable. They deserved each other, honestly.
@@judylee1860 that's terrifying. I believe it. People in business don't get where they are by being kind... thanks for looking for the link for me, I appreciate it

While the mention of a prenuptial agreement was humorous in the context of this video and specifically because it was proposed by a likely Narcissist, I would highly recommend a prenuptial agreement, for any man or woman with substantial finances,entering into a marriage contract. Do not allow emotion to make a risky decision, if and when one realises that a partner is not compatible. Often one does not experience the shadow side of another, until after signing a marriage contract. If the one that is asked to sign the contract is irrational and gets very emotional, feel lucky that you are witnessing behavior that is likely to manifest regularly in the future. The appropriate responce would be, that while I believe we are soul mates, I understand that often, soon after marriage people realise they are not compatible and decide to part ways. I will sign. This is not one sided anymore. Woman are increasingly becoming financially abundant and I do not want to read about males or females being manipulated and experiencing a large material loss. Be wise,even when your loins and emotions are on fire!
Great video dr grande. I know research goes onto every video you post and I really value your opinion on these situations. Wish there was a Dr grande in every city for patients to consult with!

hello dr grande, I hope you had a good christmas! i have just learned of a celebrity blunder I find hilarious and fascinating and you might too. turns out that alec baldwin’s wife has been pretending to be spanish for about 8 years when she was born and raised by american parents in america and only visited spain on frequent holidays (her parents now live there after retiring bc i guess they loved the place so much), her loyalty to spain is incredible considering the fact she isn’t from there, she named her children all spanish names and raises them speaking spanish and she even faked an accent for a while. I think it’s very interesting how people lie about stuff like this, and for so long, it has the same vibes as celebs who lie about their age. it’s stupid and makes absolutely no difference to my life but it’s fascinating and I need to know why they did it.

Always protect your assets. The sweet person you marry will not be the same sweet person during a divorce. Divorce lawyers get rich on romantic idiots who think prenuptial agreements are not necessary. 50% chance of divorce is too high to risk it. Also should you remarry and have children from a prior marriage, it gets messy. Just be smart. Hope for the best but prepare for the worst. People who say you don’t need a prenup either haven’t been divorced or have no assets.
This is interesting, thanks Dr. Grande. It would make sense to me that Shkreli is narcissistic and Smythe is codependent. Nothing else makes sense in this situation with such a weasel of a man with such a punchable face. I can imagine he used all the narcissistic tools to reel her in e.g. love bombing, future faking (e.g. discussing names of children). I think perhaps this isn't the first time he's broken up with her ("ghosting" or blowing hot and cold) and that could be why she hasn't accepted this break up as final. I fully believe he's manipulated her. I hope she has a strong support system in place to help her raise her self esteem. The guy will try to reappear and hoover her; I have little doubt of that.
I watch this channel regularly it's like a backstage pass into the minds of those who make the headlines. How about future videos on John Lennon and J.Paul Getty?
@@BlackPrimeMinister I agree with you. Even if both people are sincere in staying together for life when they marry, people do change. It's also best when retirement comes around: both partners have a better retirement from both earning income.
By the point you've watched enough of Dr. Grande's vids to build an idea of what types of characteristics he dislikes; seeing Martin Shkreli in an analysis video immediately felt like a late X-mas gift of future savage puns & a likely appropriately brutal judgment as we witness the good doc analyse "a situation like this." Martin Shkreli is truly one of the worst of the worst, & somewhat obscure to many, so extra cool to see this exposé.
You didn't point it out but Shkreli was never charged with a 50 times price hike of a vital drug (against common people) only with security fraud (against financial elites).
Did anyone notice how Dr. Grandes subscribers go up about a thousand a day? I can’t wait for his 600,000th video. (Mostly to see what he’s wearing:). Good job sir! Actually, looking back it’s a bit more than a thousand.
while i agree with you on all the very valid points you made, i still have to say this: as manipulative of a person as shkreli appears to be, i truly believe SHE played her damn self in this situation. 🤦🏻♀️
@@ruberthablackman3949 that is absolutely true. shkreli is most definitely a parasitic creature if there ever was one. meanwhile smyth couldn't have been in a good place in her life (at least psychologically) to think that leaving everything for him would somehow be better than whatever life she had previously, which she even described as being "the perfect little brooklyn life". i feel like she's embarrassed and regretful now so i shouldn't be so quick to judge and throw away any ounce of sympathy for her.
I would love to listen to Dr. Grande's analysis of the infamous TH-cam personality Keemstar. I have a hard time comprehending what drives a person to make life difficult for so many people they don't even know. I always enjoy videos from this channel. Keep up the great work, Dr. Grande!
I love your videos Dr. Grande! theyre so informative. I love listening to your videos while i work. I think you should do an analysis on "going postal." theres been a couple extreme cases in the PO due to sheer workload and management who lack social skills. I'm able to handle the stress fairly well but still cry on the job on occasion. But i want to know what pushes particular people to do horrible crimes due to workload, or even committing suicide in the office from it. Sometimes this stuff feels illegal 😪 but id love to hear your take on this
Dr Grande really can laugh like the rest of us. Most or all the videos have skips/edits. I'm guessing it's because he edits out the giggles and laughing outbursts. I am grateful for his calmness & professionalism.
Dr. Grande, your analyses are ALWAYS on point! I like, that you...explore/explain the subject's history, make fair/unbiased/skilled/sane observations, research/tell all sides to the story, and that you make accurate assessments/conclusions! AND, you articulate it ALL, so well! Has anyone ever told you..."YOU have a WAY, with WORDS!"...a, true GIFT! You are, not only very intelligent...but ALSO, very witty! I find your videos, to be very informative, and funny! I learn ALOT, and enjoy them! Thank you! P. S. If you ever decide to CHANGE your career...I feel you would make, a GREAT Referee, or Comedian!
Fun thing is that I think that most of the cartoon characters are meant to be crazy so they probably would be diagnosed with some kind personality disorder in real life.
Your channel is the best, Dr. Grande. I check for new vids all the time, and I love watching your older ones explaining different disorders etc. as well. ❤️ P.S. could you analyse some Rick and Morty? I would lose my miiiiiind.
Shkreli reminds me of the story about the turtle and the Scorpion. The Scorpion asked the turtle for a ride across the lake but the turtle said: "No, you'll sting me." The Scorpion said: "No I would never do that to a friend." The turtle generously let the Scorpion get on his back and swam halfway across the lake, when the scorpion stung him! The Turtle cried out: " Why did you sting me?" The scorpion said: "Because I'm a scorpion." A-holes are a-holes. Trust them at YOUR own peril. Thank you Dr.Grande for your examination of this narcissistic cretin.
So Smythe resigned from her job and divorced her husband only to be rejected by someone like Shkreli?! I am floored.😲 Shkreli is not only a danger to Smythe, but to anyone who comes in contact with him. His moral compass is close to nil. Fascinating case and insightful analysis Dr. Grande!❤️ Btw, if I was a Mental Health Counselor I would love to have you as my supervisor, you seem to be an outstanding one.
I would love to hear your take on Imelda Marcos and some of the guys on To Catch a Predator, Lorne Armstrong in particular. I know he's been analyzed to death, but you always have an interesting take and you'd be the first mental health professional to offer an opinion. Thanks for keeping us entertained! I can't imagine it's easy to post as prolifically as you do.
Really glad you walked us through this charlie foxtrot. Despite ample evidence that Shkreli is a soulless narcissist, I hoped that he didn't break up this woman's family just to flex. On the other hand, she reported for Breitbart, so this may be an excellent match.
I would stay as far away from that nutcase as humanly possible. He ain’t right in the head. I watched him on Facebook live-streaming several times for quite a while. He was taking incoming calls from people. Short fused guy.
Dr. Grande, how do we submit requests for mental health analysis videos? I have been rewatching the US version of Kitchen Nightmares recently and I’d love it if you could analyse Amy and Sammy from the Amy’s Baking Company episode. Their personalities fascinate me and I’d love to hear what you think!
At one point -- when he was still in the scandal about raising drug proces -- he did call-ins with anyone and everyone who wanted to call him. I remember some streamer calling him and having a pretty long conversation. It seems pretty weird for someone who is in the middle of a scandal to do something like that. Overall he seemed like a really extreme and overly self assured personality -- which made him appear like ar narcissist. I remember him having few redeeming features, besides appearing pretty intelligent. He could rationalize pretty much anything he had done and also rationalized away any and all forms of empathy and emotion. The only time he appeared somewhat human, was when he talked about his brother having autism and that being an important factor in his life. He however also talked about medication for autism -- which as far as I know doesn't exist, which made me doubt a lot of what he said there. You can probably still find those videos online. Pretty interesting case study if you ask me.
Love your channel, Dr. Grande..... how about examining Alec Baldwin’s wife, “Hilaria” (aka Hillary), who has been claiming she was born in Majorca,Spain... claims Spanish is her first language, and that she sometimes can’t “remember the English words for things” and named their 5 children hyper-Spanish names. However, she was born in Boston of a good family,, and although spent some time in Spain and evidently can speak Spanish, is an American and English is her first language. What’s weird is that Alec somehow is either taken in by the ruse or is complicit in it. Her family must know as well. Her parents retired to Majorca as her father was a professor of Spanish literature....I find the whole debacle fascinating. I would love to hear your thoughts on this very strange situation.
"shkreli does appear to be extremely intelligent, but his level of maturity is too low to make effective use out of it" DR GRANDE I LOVE YOU LMAO

@@crochunter35 A German compound word/term that loosely translates to "Cheek pipe face". In common use it means something to the effect of "A face badly in need of a fist"
@@crochunter35 now you go! Quick! What's the hillbilly word for a cheek pipe face?!
Have to brush Up my german😂
Ausgezeichnet!
One of the biggest jerks of the 21st century. Thanx Dr. Grande! This man is absolutely repellent.
“Because nothing says true romance like a prenuptial agreement.” 🤣
i mean if you think about it, lot of marriages fail. When you have lot of money you want to protect yourself as much as you can.
You shouldn't have to sign a prenup, when you're marrying a comic book villain. Shkreli the Skell.
@@ristekostadinov2820 Then why get married at all ?
The hits keep coming!
Always protect your assets. The sweet person you marry will not be the same sweet person during a divorce. Divorce lawyers get rich on romantic idiots who think prenuptial agreements are not necessary.
50% chance of divorce is too high to risk it.
Also should you remarry and have children from a prior marriage, it gets messy. Just be smart. Hope for the best but prepare for the worst.
People who say you don’t need a prenup either haven’t been divorced or have no assets.
This is interesting, thanks Dr. Grande. It would make sense to me that Shkreli is narcissistic and Smythe is codependent. Nothing else makes sense in this situation with such a weasel of a man with such a punchable face. I can imagine he used all the narcissistic tools to reel her in e.g. love bombing, future faking (e.g. discussing names of children). I think perhaps this isn't the first time he's broken up with her ("ghosting" or blowing hot and cold) and that could be why she hasn't accepted this break up as final. I fully believe he's manipulated her. I hope she has a strong support system in place to help her raise her self esteem. The guy will try to reappear and hoover her; I have little doubt of that.
Thanks for another amazing piece of content!
Another great video Dr Grande,. I love the quote about the grim reaper and your little laugh had me on the floor.
I watch this channel regularly it's like a backstage pass into the minds of those who make the headlines. How about future videos on John Lennon and J.Paul Getty?
When I see Shkreli's photos I immediately think of rodents. Does anyone else get what I mean?
Willard...
Yes. A weasel. A Large, dirty weasel.
with a touch of ferret
Yes, he's got that Roald Dahl antagonist vibe, halfway stuck in a.weasel spell.
@@beckyweisfeld6977 And the fact that in a previous life, they were both SNAKES! Coincidence? I don't think so. 😆
"Nothing says 'romance' like a prenuptial agreement."
I will lovingly agree, prenuptiallly, to not marry you, Ms. Smythe.😝💔😁😆
As romance has nothing to do with money, pre-nuptial agreements are good and necessary. A woman can earn her own money.
@@BlackPrimeMinister I agree with you. Even if both people are sincere in staying together for life when they marry, people do change. It's also best when retirement comes around: both partners have a better retirement from both earning income.
There's already too many one sided factors to benefit women from marriage. pre nuptials should be the norm for any aware male today.
@@BlackPrimeMinister - so can a man. As a woman I had a prenup to protect MY assets not his.
@@rideordis810 good for you!👏
Wth is this joker still around ... thought Ghostface dealt with this comic book villain
Haha good one
Lol that was just clout for him but Ghostface knew that
Could you please analyze George Castanza from Seinfeld? How a short,bald and chubby man who is insecure got all the women.
Good one!!
I wouldn't mind an analysis on each of the characters.
Bald is sexy
Not only did he get them, he was dissatisfied with them...
“I was in the pool! I was in the pool!”
He pulled hotter chicks than Jerry lol.
By the point you've watched enough of Dr. Grande's vids to build an idea of what types of characteristics he dislikes; seeing Martin Shkreli in an analysis video immediately felt like a late X-mas gift of future savage puns & a likely appropriately brutal judgment as we witness the good doc analyse "a situation like this."
Martin Shkreli is truly one of the worst of the worst, & somewhat obscure to many, so extra cool to see this exposé.
You didn't point it out but Shkreli was never charged with a 50 times price hike of a vital drug (against common people) only with security fraud (against financial elites).
we live in an unfair society, yea.
The "common people" didn't have to pay the premium, only the insurance companies. Do some research.
@@emilal When you go to a pharmacy you have to.
@@abrvalg321 You can't buy Daraprim at a pharmacy, plus it's not a liftetime drug; you take it for 30 days, then you're cured.
Did anyone notice how Dr. Grandes subscribers go up about a thousand a day? I can’t wait for his 600,000th video. (Mostly to see what he’s wearing:). Good job sir!
Actually, looking back it’s a bit more than a thousand.
"He admitted dishonesty." He probably fancy himself as some kind of Robin Hood. The Smyth woman was kind of sad. He played her.
while i agree with you on all the very valid points you made, i still have to say this: as manipulative of a person as shkreli appears to be, i truly believe SHE played her damn self in this situation. 🤦🏻♀️
@@sadieperry my friend l get your point. I agree with you too but l think that she didn't have much self worth. Parasites can usually pick that up.
@@ruberthablackman3949 that is absolutely true. shkreli is most definitely a parasitic creature if there ever was one. meanwhile smyth couldn't have been in a good place in her life (at least psychologically) to think that leaving everything for him would somehow be better than whatever life she had previously, which she even described as being "the perfect little brooklyn life". i feel like she's embarrassed and regretful now so i shouldn't be so quick to judge and throw away any ounce of sympathy for her.
I would love to listen to Dr. Grande's analysis of the infamous TH-cam personality Keemstar. I have a hard time comprehending what drives a person to make life difficult for so many people they don't even know. I always enjoy videos from this channel. Keep up the great work, Dr. Grande!
I love your videos Dr. Grande! theyre so informative. I love listening to your videos while i work.
I think you should do an analysis on "going postal." theres been a couple extreme cases in the PO due to sheer workload and management who lack social skills. I'm able to handle the stress fairly well but still cry on the job on occasion. But i want to know what pushes particular people to do horrible crimes due to workload, or even committing suicide in the office from it. Sometimes this stuff feels illegal 😪 but id love to hear your take on this
Dr Grande really can laugh like the rest of us. Most or all the videos have skips/edits. I'm guessing it's because he edits out the giggles and laughing outbursts. I am grateful for his calmness & professionalism.
“ThE HaPpY cOuPle” 😆😂
Didn't expect to see you under a Dr. Grande video.
Worlds collide 😄
lol, clever.
YOu wRiTe StRaNgLy !
I always click so quickly on Dr Grande's videos when i see new uploads from him
Please do Lorena Bobbitt
That's a good one
'Weaseled his way in'...very interesting (and appropriate) terminology he used to describe his behavior.
"How bad was (her life) that being with Shkrelli would be the highpoint?" - haha, savage!
Dr. Grande, your analyses are ALWAYS on point! I like, that you...explore/explain the subject's history, make fair/unbiased/skilled/sane observations, research/tell all sides to the story, and that you make accurate assessments/conclusions!
AND, you articulate it ALL, so well! Has anyone ever told you..."YOU have a WAY, with WORDS!"...a, true GIFT! You are, not only very intelligent...but ALSO, very witty! I find your videos, to be very informative, and funny! I learn ALOT, and enjoy them! Thank you!
P. S. If you ever decide to CHANGE your career...I feel you would make, a GREAT Referee, or Comedian!
I was laughing at his expressions, he reminds me of a cartoon character.
Like a Vaudeville Villain hahaha
A devious one
Fun thing is that I think that most of the cartoon characters are meant to be crazy so they probably would be diagnosed with some kind personality disorder in real life.
@@blaeckingceorl4161 omg😂😂. Youre absolutely right.
Your channel is the best, Dr. Grande. I check for new vids all the time, and I love watching your older ones explaining different disorders etc. as well. ❤️ P.S. could you analyse some Rick and Morty? I would lose my miiiiiind.
Shkreli reminds me of the story about the turtle and the Scorpion. The Scorpion asked the turtle for a ride across the lake but the turtle said: "No, you'll sting me." The Scorpion said: "No I would never do that to a friend." The turtle generously let the Scorpion get on his back and swam halfway across the lake, when the scorpion stung him! The Turtle cried out: " Why did you sting me?" The scorpion said: "Because I'm a scorpion."
A-holes are a-holes. Trust them at YOUR own peril. Thank you Dr.Grande for your examination of this narcissistic cretin.
Great analysis Dr Grande.I really enjoyed that topic. Thank you Dr Grande have a great day!.
I was just thinking about this. Thank you😂❤
So Smythe resigned from her job and divorced her husband only to be rejected by someone like Shkreli?! I am floored.😲
Shkreli is not only a danger to Smythe, but to anyone who comes in contact with him. His moral compass is close to nil.
Fascinating case and insightful analysis Dr. Grande!❤️
Btw, if I was a Mental Health Counselor I would love to have you as my supervisor, you seem to be an outstanding one.
I would love to hear your thoughts on the Hilary “Hilaria” Baldwin saga!!!
I don’t know who this is , but you did a good job of shredding Shkreli. So good you’re back. We missed you even for a day 😘
Every time I see Martin Shkreli I think oh cool, the guy from Superbad who says “So are you guys on MySpace?”
I would love to hear your take on Imelda Marcos and some of the guys on To Catch a Predator, Lorne Armstrong in particular. I know he's been analyzed to death, but you always have an interesting take and you'd be the first mental health professional to offer an opinion.
Thanks for keeping us entertained! I can't imagine it's easy to post as prolifically as you do.
Fascinating work as usual, Dr. Grande. Could you do one on Tony Soprano?
I think that he did one already.
@@2manybooks2littletime25 Ah, thx.
@@adrienrassat1965 you're welcome!
Wow, great analysis and I loved your summation. Spot on! 🙂👍
Really glad you walked us through this charlie foxtrot. Despite ample evidence that Shkreli is a soulless narcissist, I hoped that he didn't break up this woman's family just to flex. On the other hand, she reported for Breitbart, so this may be an excellent match.
I thought it was Bloomberg [sp?], a financial news service.
Thanks again for another great video. Can you please do a video on the bubble boy. Happy new year to you Dr. Grande
Shkreli reminds me of Hugo the ventriloquist doll in the 1964 film "Devil Doll".
Thanks for doing this case! So great to hear your professional opinion about cases like this
I would stay as far away from that nutcase as humanly possible. He ain’t right in the head. I watched him on Facebook live-streaming several times for quite a while. He was taking incoming calls from people. Short fused guy.
"she's in love with Rose instead of me, that's ridiculous"
Wait what? Was this after he publicly became pharma bro? Or are his live streams just on TH-cam now? 🤔
@@billie6814 this was before his trial back in like 2016
A long awaited analysis
.
Dr. Grande, how do we submit requests for mental health analysis videos? I have been rewatching the US version of Kitchen Nightmares recently and I’d love it if you could analyse Amy and Sammy from the Amy’s Baking Company episode. Their personalities fascinate me and I’d love to hear what you think!
I was waiting for this!!!!
Smythe was smitten then smote by spite.
Jim Morrison's got nothin" on you!
( accomplished poet)
Dr. Grande is getting so popular even my psych professors are linking his vids. ❤️
Could you do a video on Mamoru Takuma please?
Hey Dr. Grande! You think you might do an analysis on The Dnepropetrovsk Maniacs?!?!?!
At one point -- when he was still in the scandal about raising drug proces -- he did call-ins with anyone and everyone who wanted to call him. I remember some streamer calling him and having a pretty long conversation.
It seems pretty weird for someone who is in the middle of a scandal to do something like that. Overall he seemed like a really extreme and overly self assured personality -- which made him appear like ar narcissist. I remember him having few redeeming features, besides appearing pretty intelligent. He could rationalize pretty much anything he had done and also rationalized away any and all forms of empathy and emotion.
The only time he appeared somewhat human, was when he talked about his brother having autism and that being an important factor in his life. He however also talked about medication for autism -- which as far as I know doesn't exist, which made me doubt a lot of what he said there.
You can probably still find those videos online. Pretty interesting case study if you ask me.
Thanks, I’ve been waiting for this video! Great job as always
🥰💕✨Nothing says true love like a prenuptial agreement 💕🥰✨
Wow, I requested this case! Thanks Dr. Grande.
So he has had years of being an unethical operator? "...like the Grim Reaper saying I don't want you." Good one Dr. Grande.
Hi, could you please make a video on Pazuzu Algarad? Thought it might be interesting. I think I'm getting addicted to your channel haha
”The Happy Couple” ...😂👍🍺
dr grande is the only one on my side, i've been trying to get out of the nuthouse for 12 years and he believes in me
Love your channel, Dr. Grande..... how about examining Alec Baldwin’s wife, “Hilaria” (aka Hillary), who has been claiming she was born in Majorca,Spain... claims Spanish is her first language, and that she sometimes can’t “remember the English words for things” and named their 5 children hyper-Spanish names. However, she was born in Boston of a good family,, and although spent some time in Spain and evidently can speak Spanish, is an American and English is her first language. What’s weird is that Alec somehow is either taken in by the ruse or is complicit in it. Her family must know as well. Her parents retired to Majorca as her father was a professor of Spanish literature....I find the whole debacle fascinating. I would love to hear your thoughts on this very strange situation.
Dr Grande, your deadpan delivery is brutal with respect to Christie Smythe.
