Anwar Ibrahim campaigned on press freedom. That was one of the reasons I voted for him. Now his gov't raided a Malaysiakini journalist's home for investigating a migrant worker platform — no rebuttal, no press conference, just police. Madani = BN! 😡

Let’s Unpack This Mess Brooke Alexis Nicole Love

Hey everyone. Today is one of those rare, quiet days where I find myself sitting here, getting paid to essentially do nothing. Usually, my life is moving a mile a minute—balancing work, school, and being a mom—but when the world slows down like this, my mind tends to wander into the “vault.” You know the one: that collection of life stories that are so wild they sound like fiction, yet they are 100% my reality.

I’ve decided it’s time to put something out in the open. I’m doing this not out of anger, but out of a desire for clarity and peace. It’s been sitting on my heart, and honestly, at this stage in my life, I’ve realized that speaking the truth with grace is the only way to truly close a chapter.

Years ago, I met a girl—let’s call her Brooke. Our meeting was like something out of a movie. I was at a bar for a modeling meeting that felt “off” from the start. A guy was buying me drink after drink while secretly sipping water, clearly trying to get me to a vulnerable place. Brooke walked in, clocked the situation immediately, and followed me to the restroom to warn me. She told me I wasn’t safe and offered me a way out.

I left with her, and the very next day, the news reported a tragedy involving a young woman just miles from where we had been. In my eyes, Brooke was a guardian angel. I felt a debt of gratitude that turned into five years of deep, sisterly loyalty. I was her “calm” to her “fireball.” I stood by her through every hardship—miscarriages, abortions, and personal struggles. I even advocated for her with my own military recruiter to help her get into the training she wanted when others said no. I gave her my last dollar and my full heart because I believed in the bond we had.

Life eventually took us in different directions, but we reconnected when I was at a very vulnerable point—married, with my son, and pregnant with my daughter. Despite my husband’s initial hesitation, I opened my home to her when she needed a place to stay. I truly thought we were picking up where we left off.

However, the peace was an illusion. When neighbors started telling me that “voices” were coming from my home while I was at work, and that my husband and my “friend” were together behind my back, my world shattered. I chose the path of a mother—I didn’t want an altercation or a fight. I was protecting the life inside me. I had her legally removed from my home. On her way out, she took my EBT card and sold it. It was a sharp, painful ending to a five-year investment of love.

Years passed. We didn’t speak. But my nature is to look for the good in people, and when I faced difficulties with my son’s father, I made the mistake of reaching out to her for help. Instead of being a bridge, she became a wedge. She entered a relationship with him, got pregnant by him, and to this day, she exerts a level of control over his life that is honestly baffling.

What’s even more concerning is the behavior that followed. I haven’t spoken to this woman since 2017 or 2018, yet she recently reached out with a casual “Hi.” Behind the scenes, however, she has been posting my photos, my son’s photos, and even private, sensitive content I’ve discussed in previous blogs.

Brooke, if you are reading this—and I suspect you are—I want to speak to you woman-to-woman, with nothing but respect and a wish for your well-being.

It has been nearly a decade. I am not competing with you. I am not in a race with anyone but the woman I was yesterday. I am busy being a mother, a professional, and a student. It is exhausting to watch someone try to “win” a contest that doesn’t exist. You’re trying so hard to act like you’re better than me, showing off on social media when it’s clear you’re barely holding on.

To the world, you act tough and “fireball” online, but we both know that in person, you are always mute. That disconnect suggests a deep need for internal healing. Harboring this much hate, jealousy, and obsession for someone from your distant past is a heavy burden to carry. I truly, sincerely hope you seek the mental health support you need to find peace in your own life so you can stop worrying about mine. You can even comment on this blog as well.

If you actually wanted to hash things out or talk like the adults we are, you have plenty of ways to reach me. You have my email. I know you have ways of finding my number. You can even ask my son’s father for my phone number—he will give it to you. There is no need for the public tantrums or the immature social media displays.

Trying to use a gun to look “scary” or “cool” online doesn’t make you brave, Brooke. It makes you look like someone who is desperately overcompensating for a lack of internal strength. Real strength is sitting down and having a conversation, not posing for photos to intimidate someone you haven’t seen in eight years.

While I am handling this with grace, I have to be clear about the lines being crossed. This isn’t just “mess”; it’s a series of legal liabilities that can follow you for a lifetime, especially given your history:

• Nonconsensual Distribution of Private Images (CPC §647(j)(4)): In California, “revenge porn” carries significant jail time and fines.

• Stalking & Cyber-Harassment (CPC §646.9): Repeatedly posting about me and my family to cause distress is a “wobbler” offense that can lead to up to three years in state prison.

• Felony Distribution of Minor’s Likeness: Posting images of a minor without consent, especially in a harassing context, is a massive legal risk.

• Military Repercussions: For someone who fought so hard to get into the military, a pattern of cyberbullying and criminal harassment can lead to a loss of security clearance and administrative separation.

• Brandishing/Intimidation: Using a firearm in a threatening manner, even digitally, can fall under Penal Code 417, which carries jail time and can permanently strip away your right to own that weapon.

I have let the past go. I have moved on to a life filled with purpose and love. If you and my son’s father have built a bond over a mutual dislike for me, then I hope that bond brings you whatever comfort you are looking for. But please, focus on your own family. Focus on your own growth.

I am choosing to remain calm, graceful, and kind, but I am also choosing to be firm. My peace is not up for negotiation. I hope you find the strength to heal from the hate you’re holding inside and finally move forward. The “adult” world is much more fulfilling than the one you’re currently creating online.

Be well, and please—keep my children and my name off your page.

Majority-minority districts — long a cornerstone of Voting Rights Act enforcement — could now be targeted nationwide as DOJ moves to challenge them rather than defend them.
