The fact that Michael, a once elite dressage rider, is now receiving treatment at Greystone Park Psychiatric Hospital shows the amount of psychological damage that horrible woman has caused. SHE should be charged.

God gave her another chance to repent for all that damage she did to his character. That’s why gossip and back biting are pure evil. You can destroy someone’s life by your evil words of condemnation. God doesn’t play that. She’s really lucky to be alive and not disabled for life.

"Oh, he's a MAN, he'll handle it!" (not my quote!) Perhaps he could have just "hired" someone to remove her from his property? ? I lieu of writing a BOOK which could be examined by marriage and family counselors that could be easily dedicated to women whose bosses are men, and men whose bosses are women...Let's ask this question: I, personally, have worked with, and for, many types of MALES. Women seem to like self-assured, assertive, outgoing, self confident men, AND those are admirable traits indicative of good teachers, musicians, as well as Dressage World Champions...But when a women ceases to "respect" the man whose JOB (is usually his life's dedication) and wants to social media him out of existence or aggressively destroy his self confidence , which in this case, has been proven to be most excellent ,and wants to see his "life" destroyed -it's time for the female to get a 'better look" at herself. If I, myself, had spoken about my violin teacher, or my own "equestrian" master of the art in a manner even remotely relative to how LOREN " spoke," I'm sure I would have deserved to have been cut from the classes before anger and hostility set in! If you want total control over your "man" or your "woman" buy a dog. Any female horse-lovers out there who would have wanted Loren for a roommate ? No thanks. Sorry about my compound sentences! It's become a "pattern of thinking" habit can' seem to change. "Man on the Run" and "You're the Reson I'm not Married!" LyndaFayesmusic@yahoo & Bandcamp.

@@smallfries3462it actually is quite rare. Yes, it can happen…but far more common is the horrifically large amount of times it happens and isn’t reported, or is reported and nothing happens. Your “teaching” I hope comes with more balance and less bias, that you teach your children to report it, and not doubt them. In most cases, it is very hard to report, and complex dynamics are involved (psychological, emotional, spiritual) that WAY out last the physical.

Those people are just as bad as the ones who do harm children.

[@Alphacentauri819]

@@marshamarsha5204 while they are also harmful…there is hardly anything as harmful as the harm done to a child, while their brain is developing, nervous system growing and determining pathways. The profound harm against a child, their body, soul, mind, is usually FAR more damaging than a false accusation. Is a false accusation painful? Problematic? Yes, yes. However, if the adult who was falsely accused, has a sense of agency, a strong and healthy nervous system, they have the essential safety needed to take action. Children are vulnerable in a way that is rare in adults..unless the adult is disabled, elderly, dependent on others for basic survival. Children who are abused are often stuck in a horrifically impossible, powerless situation. They depend on those who abuse them often. An adult does NOT depend on the person who falsely accused them. That obtuse blindness to the profound power imbalance seems lost on you. I am a former medical professional and now study the brain (neuroscience). I promise you, you are missing many aspects of the complexities of these equations…and instead seem to be self referential and narrowly focused on how you would be affected if falsely accused, and unable to fully appreciate the depth/breadth of impact on a child.

[@O2BAmachine]

​@Annie497this was how I interpreted it as well. She took out her own flaws and insecurities onto him. I thought it was interesting that she mentioned in the complaint against him that he would "bully" her by "body shaming". She's *clearly* very thin, and I wonder if she has an ED, and thought that would be a believable statement due to her own body dysmorphia. Because obviously his previous and current girlfriends (and most women) are not as slim as her... But in dressage, being petite is often thought of as a positive... So it's a confusing statement that seems made up in her own head. A head that can't separate reality and fantasy. She's dangerous.

[@AnnaKellyBlogs]

They forgot to mention that Lauren and her boyfriend were both former heroin addicts with lengthy criminal histories including assault. Her father doesn’t mention that she was banned from residing with their family because I think one of them had a restraining order against her if I remember correctly. This is a fascinating trial to watch for anyone interested. His attorney was the ultimate chess master in Lauren’s so called chess game she loved to post about. He comes across as this blundering aww shucks old man, but he managed to get a lot in front of the jury (some that I felt the judge wrongfully declared inadmissible in my opinion at least as an attorney that doesn’t practice criminal law 😂) that they couldn’t technically “unhear.” I don’t think a lot of people realize how few defense strategies actually try to claim an insanity defense. I think an old study had it at 1% of all felony cases and then only a quarter of them are actually successful. Her past included owning firearms and at least one incident of discharging her firearm, out of anger and rage, at other people and/or their personal property. I don’t think it’s a surprise that her background included criminal harassment and stalking, including harassment that involved extensive use of the Internet and/or social media to make veiled and direct threats of injury, mayhem, violence, and criminal acts against persons with whom she was having interpersonal conflict. Plus, Safesport had multiple complaints filed against HER from various people for bullying.

She defiantly owns all her actions in every clip she is talking about them, that includes before the court and the millions of viewers of 48 Hours. Obviously she was still going for the final destruction of Michael likely hoping for 25-years to life. In the end, she did ruin him as he seems a shell of his former self, but I would wager she further damaged her own psyche which was obviously flawed already making her much more of a predator than victim.

A narcissist will gaslight you and mentally break you down to the brink of insanity and then play the victim and that is exactly what this woman did to Michael Barisone. You can only understand what happened to him if you've borne that kind of abuse at the hands of a narcissist.

[@ginnyeggleston3287]

Agreed. So hard to describe what it is like to people who have never experienced it.

Michel was a genius and only wanted his love for horses to live on through his generous training Lauren wanted all the prestige and attention she could get and broke a man of great intentions so she could be on top she is the one that should of had charges against her for disturbing a business and a man of integrity I hope Michel gets back on the horse and shows her who is the boss good for you Michel America is with you

[@alyscstudjo6909]

She is no victim. This is definitely justice and hopefully she will be charged with stalking, tortious interference, slander and coercive control just to name a few crimes this woman committed.

[@maryxrp]

This case is absolutely shocking! I have absolutely no sympathy for Lauren. She is obsessive-compulsive and very manipulative she did everything in her power to get this result. Her actions were threatening and violent. This is a woman who is very sick and needs help immediately. This reminds me of online bullying cases where individuals committed suicide and the bully actually had to face consequences. I hope he brings a civil suit against her and her father.

[@wordivore]

Obsessive compulsive? She could probably be diagnosed with much more than that.

[@cleopatraoatcake7364]

Personality disorders!

[@zxy78267]

When she was asked if she was trying to destroy him, and she smiled and said "Yes," that was wild! Most people would at least try to lie or make up an excuse, but she is so entitled that she's proud of herself! The jury got it right.

As an equestrian, I immediately sided with the trainer. I have first hand experience with crazy and over bearing clients and there are a lot more than people would think.

I lieu of writing a BOOK which could be examined by marriage and family counselors that could be easily dedicated to women whose bosses are men, and men whose bosses are women...Let's ask this question: I, personally, have worked with, and for, many types of MALES. Women seem to like self-assured, assertive, outgoing, self confident men, AND those are admirable traits indicative of good teachers, musicians, as well as Dressage World Champions...But when a women ceases to "respect" the man whose JOB (is usually his life's dedication) and wants to social media him out of existence or aggressively destroy his self confidence , which in this case, has been proven to be most excellent ,and wants to see his "life" destroyed -it's time for the female to get a 'better look" at herself. If I, myself, had spoken about my violin teacher, or my own "equestrian" master of the art in a manner even remotely relative to how LOREN " spoke," I'm sure I would have deserved to have been cut from the classes before anger and hostility set in! If you want total control over your "man" or your "woman" buy a dog. Any female horse-lovers out there who would have wanted Loren for a roommate ? No thanks. Sorry about my compound sentences!

I've watched this story before and I'm on Michael's side. Lauren is no victim, she's a terrible, psychotic and evil woman. She pushed that man over the edge. All she and her boyfriend to do, was move out of that man's house, since they refused to pay rent, but nope she refused, and bullied and bullied him..😤 I'm glad he was acquitted. Hope he can get his life back together ❤️ 🙏🏿

[@ameliashostak4764]

I hope Michael knows he's got SO many people rallying and rooting for him. Sending him good thoughts and lots of love even if we never met him. I truly hope this man can put his life back together. People can only be pushed so far...we ALL have a personal breaking point.

[@JMarieTX]

Lauren is no victim. What a viscous, manipulative horror of a human being. Spoiled little rich girl who (it appears) was never held accountable for her actions. She should be shut out of the equestrian community and her story recited as a cautionary tale for others who think they want to F around and find out. Best of luck to Michael in rebuilding his life.

She might be terrible but she saved him by admitting what she had done in court.

[@laurids2007]

He should have found a lawyer to take them out of his property. Then, he should have sued her for defamation and all the horrible posts in social media, and also, set cameras all over his property, the stables etc, and of course, once the lawsuit started, bring in the press so he could give an official explanation of the things that were going on and why he was suing her and her boyfriend. That's what he should have done right away and take them out of his property with an order of the judge. It was his right as the landlord. Case closed. Period. Things would've turned out very different and she would be sitting in Court to explain herself. I am so sorry I didn't know this poor man before all this misery happened to him and his family. 😢

[@loiswilliams8001]

As a former horse trainer I could fill volumes with stories of crazy owners. First these people own horses but don't understand horse care or training. I had one go online claiming the barn staff was poisoning her horse even though she was in charge of feeding her own horse. In the small world of horses where reputation is everything these bad apples can destroy you. Any creature pushed far enough will react defensively.

I have absolutely ZERO sympathy for Kanerak. NONE. ZILTCH. She drove that poor man not only to tears, but to the brink of insanity. I wouldn’t be surprised if there are other people in her life that have tried to shoot her. I’ve known ppl like her and I said the very same thing to them. One day she is going to push the wrong person too far and will end up in a ditch somewhere. She is an awful horrible person. I sure hope Michael can get past all this and go on with his life and be happy, healthy and at peace.
