Lawyer-Friend Rebuts: ‘Catherine Kassenoff Not Mentally Ill; Gus Lied’

Gus Dimopoulos

Family law attorney Constantine ‘Gus’ Dimopoulos represents Allan Kassenoff in his divorce and custody case against Catherine Kassenoff.

With Gus’ expert machinations, Catherine’s right to see her own children was restricted 3 1/2 years ago to supervised visits, which tapered off to no visits at all.

For his services, Gus received more than $2 million from Allan, Catherine claimed.

On May 27, Catherine wrote a Facebook post stating her intention to end her life at an assisted suicide facility in Switzerland that day.

In response to media coverage of Catherine’s post, Gus issued a statement claiming  Catherine might have lied about her planned suicide.

He accused Catherine of also lying about Allan and posting manipulated and old videos to harm him.

Gus explained that a neutral forensic evaluator assessed the family, leading the court to grant Allan custody of the children, and issuing an urgent protection order against dangerous Catherine.

According to Gus, Catherine violated the order, resulting in her arrest and further limits on access to the children.

Gus asked the media not to believe Catherine or report “salacious” details about the case, considering Catherine is both a liar and insane.

“Navigating mental illness is very challenging, especially on a public stage,” Gus wrote.

Catherine’s Lawyer-Friend Rebuts

By Attorney Jonathan Davidoff

This response from Gus and Allan is not surprising. However, everyone should know that Gus has lied and asserted misrepresentations in the past. Gus has choreographed stories and plans to gain advantage for his clients.

Gus has recruited his friends to present false stories and claims to judges to create a false narrative.

Gus has done it again with his statement.

I experienced Gus’ misrepresentations and (in my opinion) lies to the Court. Gus will go to extremes if his client pays him (or he’s paid by a relative of the client).

Catherine was NOT mentally ill. There were reports from experts submitted to the court in Catherine’s case that she was not mentally ill.

The children are not safe, but brainwashed.

Allan traveled around the world on work trips and extended them so he could vacation without Catherine and the children. Guess who stayed home with the children?

Catherine!

Allan had sex in his home with the door open [with another woman], and one of his daughters walked in, as reported by Catherine from statements made by her daughter(s).

Yes, Catherine was arrested, and what happened with that?

Well, for one, the charges were dismissed. I believe the officers admitted Catherine was arrested based on false information.

Assistant DA Catherine Paska [above], who prosecuted Catherine Kassenoff, was hired by the attorney for the Kassenoff children, Carol Most.

The prosecutor who prosecuted the case went to work for the attorney for the children (AFC) Carol Most.

Ask Carol Most what happened to her appointment as the AFC. It was revoked, and she was fired! Carol Most had $113,000 of legal fees disallowed.

Ask Carol Most why she was fired.

Carol Most, the court-appointed ‘neutral’ attorney for the Kassenoff children, was removed from the case by Judge Susan Capeci.

To win in family court, Gus relies on the rulings of judges and forensic evaluators, who are his friends.

Judges Lewis Lubell and Nancy Quinn Koba were two judges in Catherine’s case. Koba and Lubell campaigned together in 2019.

Lubell did not tell the litigants that appeared before him.

Then, in 2020, Koba became the judge in Catherine’s case (as well as my case).

She did not disclose that Gus was a significant contributor to her campaigns, who actively solicited and fundraised for Lubell (and Koba).

I am told Gus co-hosted an election party for Koba. At no time did Koba disclose such to the litigants who appeared before her.

Judge Nancy Koba seems to take a shining to Gus Dimopoulus, at least judging from her rulings in the Kassenoff and Davidoff cases, and perhaps others.

Marc Abrams was a court-appointed independent forensic examiner who issued a report in Catherine’s case recommending Allan get sole custody of the children.

Abrams was removed as a court-appointed examiner in 2021. AFTER he issued his report in Catherine’s case, and the court relied on this.

Abrams was removed based on complaints filed against him by NUMEROUS women, who alleged sexual harassment among other claims. Catherine also complained.

Gus used Abrams as an expert in his client’s cases. Abrams is a good friend of Judge Lubell, and Lubell officiated Abrams’s second wedding at Abrams’ home during the time Lubell and Abrams were involved in Catherine’s case.

Carol Most is good friends with Dr. Susan Adler, the children’s therapist who has a pending lawsuit against her by Catherine.

Dr. Susan Adler knows AFC Carol Most and apparently likes to counsel the children, just as AFC Most desires most for maximizing billings for both.

Neither Dr. Adler nor AFC Most reported the truthful words of Catherine’s daughters, all three of whom (before they were brainwashed) complained about their father (Allan) and wanted to live and be raised by their now-dead mom, Catherine.

Gus, what is your evidence to support your contention that Catherine is alive, or even may be alive? You have none, zero!!!

Another misrepresentation to the world.

Let’s talk about Gus.

He makes up stories, uses friends to support his fabricated stories, then uses the stories to try and ruin the spouses of his clients. This is not just Catherine’s story; it is mine and many others.

If you let Gus represent you, you may end up jobless, homeless, or childless, because Gus will take any family down a very dark and sad road.

I hope Gus gets taken down that road one day.

Maybe his wife and children should know what a horrible person and dirty lawyer he is!

Gus, your later father is not looking down and smiling at you. He is probably sitting with Catherine and telling her that he is so sorry for raising such a pathetic and disgusting son!

Response to Videos of Catherine

This is what happens when children are removed from one parent for long periods, and there are no professionals involved and no plan for reunification.

In April, Catherine complained that she thought it might be too late because the lies at the beginning of her case lost her custody and so much time had lapsed (between COVID, Judge Koba’s failure to implement a real access plan, and the final forensic custody evaluator taking a year or so to issue a report, all while Catherine had limited or no access to the girls).

Courts love the “status quo” and Gus creates situations where the status quo is created based on misrepresentations to the Court.

Understand, these videos come after 3 years of the girls’ separation from their mother, with basically no effort for reunification, and constant gaslighting and brainwashing by Allan.

That is the truth.

This article looks like it was written by a fifth grader. Every 3 paragraphs there’s a photo – 10 points for that, however; this is a completely personal bias piece.

For those of you unaware, it was written by Katherine’s “lawyer friend” as stated by himself: Jonathan Davidoff. If anyone was wondering what a personal bias write up is, please read the poorly written opinated article above.

Also the definition of personal bias: refers to learned beliefs, opinions, or attitudes that people are unaware of and often reinforce stereotypes. These personal biases are unintentional, automatic, and inbuilt, leading to incorrect judgments.

Please use your brain when you’re trying to make your own personal judgment based off Katherine’s friend.

Carol Most will destroy children lives to make a buck. It’s all about money for her. She puts children in harms way just so she could keep billing the parents. This way the gravy train keeps moving right along.. She does not want the case to end, she loves charging the battling parents until they cry broke. and It’s usually the female spouse that surrenders and gives up. Carol Most has no shame or integrity and will take every dime during a custody battle. These child custody cases were a windfall of cash for Carol. All she hears is the sound of a cash register (Caching, Caching). The sound of the cash register drowns out the cries for help by helpless children.

Carol Most is a disgrace.and she should never be allowed to determine the fate of children ever again in a custody battle. In truth her licenses and credentials should be null and voided. This should happen IMMEDIATELY!!. This is corruption at its worse where children are the victims. With this type of corruption. there should be accountability so that this could never ever happen again to children. God help the children.

Carol most used to represent my siblings and I. My father was a drug addict and very manipulative and she loved him and favored him. I’m so happy I was able to understand what she was doing was wrong and get the chance to tell her off. It’s sad what happened to Catherine, my family was able to get through the corruption but not everyone does.

If Catherine is dead. Deep sadness and remorse should be felt for the events that unfolded in this case. If you can not see this I’m deeply saddened for you. Deeply saddened for her children. She was more than a woman going through a difficult divorce. She battled cancer until it was not a viable option. She lived her last breath praying some day her children would realize how much she cared for and loved them. It’s because overwhelmingly obviously that the reality of the tragedy that occurred in this family was fueled by the courts, greed. A woman assisted a man to devalue, humiliate and disgard the mother of his children. Keep the man. Don’t come for another womans children. Don’t paint memories for your convenience. These children need someone focused on them. Not hell bent on making her the villain. Do better.

You are appealing to people who don’t care only interested in winning. I believe loser was the term Allan and his girlfriend used to address Catherine. If the psychologist doesn’t and refuse to see this , it’s because they are interested in financial gain. No one has won in these case least of all the children. All to often family court is a winner take all mentally. Dirty tactics and emotional beat down. Been through family court. Worst place to go for help for divorcing parents. No real interest in children. “It’s a business deal” . Pay for the most connected Attorney and court players. There is no law or justice in family court. Just a winner and a loser. The kids sentenced to a life time of trauma and abuse in many cases. The public absolutely needs to be warned about it. The court players prosecuted. Purjury and fraud are a crime. Should be treated as such.

Maybe the emails from the girlfriend should be reviewed. She was not a party in the case. Maybe she was harassing Catherine and engaging in custodial interference.

The interference by the girlfriend was subtle at least publicly. She and Allan posted multiple photos of the girls dressed up in sweatshirts bearing her “brand” just days after Catherine had been evicted from the Larchmont apartment. Jewelry and gifts to the girls from the girlfriend were also prominently displayed. It seems they were flaunting their good times while Catherine was homeless. Ice cream for everyone, look at how happy we all are kind of a vibe… I’m sure she was party to the emails as well.

That’s not what is being said. The girlfriend was engaging in the custody battle. She has no legal rights to the children. She was intentionally inflaming the case. Allan and the courts allowed this to continue. She iis part of how this case got to this point. Catherine was not interested in keeping Allan.. she just wanted her kids. The girlfriend way over stepped getting involved.

This is such a sad injustice. DCF and the judges and prosecutors did the same thing to me. They painted me as mentally unstable, created lie after lie and the judges allowed them to perjure themselves in court so they could take my child. They neglected her education and mental health. They never finished her education. William Tong is behind this evil family court in CT. Maybe someday my story will be told.

About something they call “family law”: Do family court administrators and legislators supporting “Kyra’s Law” in New York know about “Keira’s Law” in Canada?

If New York’s administrators and legislators know about Keira’s Law and Kyra’s Law, do they wonder what’s taken so long to reform family courts in New York … America … Canada … and around the world?

In light of the Kassenoff case and the attempts to cover-up the crimes committed in the Kassenoff case, it looks like children and families have meant so very little to family court administrators and legislators.

Where are the apologies for the Kassenoff case? Where have the priorities been?

Does four long years and three million dollars taken from the Kassenoff family not say something to someone?

More about Kyra’s Law in New York State …

“… New York State Senator Joseph P. Addabbo, Jr. is proud to co-sponsor a bipartisan bill (S.3170A), known as “Kyra’s Law,” to protect children from parents or guardians who intend to harm them. This legislation mandates judges to consider past accusations of abuse or domestic violence to ensure that the child’s safety is a priority when deciding on custody or visitation. Kyra’s law is the direct result of tireless advocacy by Kyra’s mother, Jacqueline Franchetti, and many supporters of her efforts,” said Sen. Addabbo after meeting with Jacqueline in his Albany office. “This legislation will ensure accountability and oversight, an important step in protecting New York’s children from neglect and tragic consequences at the hands of an abusive parent or guardian ….”

More about Keira’s Law in Canada …

OTTAWA, ONTARIO – Private Member’s Bill C-233, which includes what is known informally as “Keira’s Law” passed in the Senate last night and will be sent to the Governor General to receive Royal Assent and become enshrined in Canadian law. MP Pam Damoff held a press conference with MPs Anju Dhillon and Ya’ara Saks, Senator Pierre Dalphond and Dr. Jennifer Kagan and Philip Viater after the Senate vote.

Bill C-233 raises the level of education on domestic violence for federally appointed judges in Canada and will officially introduce electronic monitoring as another release condition when the safety and security of a person, including an intimate partner, could be at risk.

Keira’s Law, named after Dr. Jennifer Kagan’s daughter and Philip Viater’s stepdaughter Keira Kagan, establishes and enhances educational seminars for judges on matters related to intimate partner violence and coercive control. It comes after the federal government amended the Divorce Act in 2019, which broadened the definition of family violence.“

Dear Attorney Jonathan Davidoff,

I want to personally thank you for sharing some facts on what Catherine experienced in her family court case. Your honesty is very much appreciated by all protective mothers.
“Honesty” from family court personnel, attorneys and appointed specialists is something we mothers rarely experience when stuck in a legal battle with an abusive ex partner, especially if that party in our case makes millions of dollars.

As a protective mother, like Catherine, I unfortunately am well experienced in the family court collusion, extortion, fraud and constant variations of gross misconduct that is ongoing in her family court case, as it has happened in mine as well.

Just as in Catherine’s case, I have physical documented proof clearly showing that in 2013 a court GAL (also a public defender, and a child attorney in Connecticut) who was no longer appointed to my case as the case was closed, created a “friendship” and stayed in contact with the abusive ex boyfriend for years after our court case was finalized. Together they colluded to locate my Personal Identifying Information, my new safe relocated “out of state” place of residence, after I was relocated out of state (they wanted to send us out of the country) by a state funded Domestic Violence Shelter, with an identity change granted by a probate judge. After seeing my evidence the judge decided that my child and I were in real danger and the only protection was to leave and no longer have any contact with family, friends.
“ANYONE” that was a part of my support system I could never speak to, nor see again.
The GAL withheld pertinent information to our court case, she committed perjury, she made false allegations to the state police that I kidnapped my own child (I’ve had sole physical custody since 2008).

I have documented proof of the state police officer they both made the kidnapping allegations to, “running my name through the state police COLLECT system”, even though the officer never made contact with me nor my vehicle, there was no warrant created by any court, nor any document signed by a judge instructing the GAL to contact the state police officer to locate me, there were no filings in the court to serve me with, no court case dates, and both the abusive ex boyfriend, myself and our child had been living separately out of that state for years and we’re not held within that officers state jurisdiction.

So I guess if I live in Arizona and my ex whom I’m looking for, lives in California; I can call the Connecticut state police and ask them to look for this California person, even though we both are not citizens of Connecticut any longer and we do not fall under their jurisdiction.

I’m still looking for the laws that allow a scenario such as this to legally occur, I haven’t located anything yet in years and I doubt I will.

So after the state police officer realized I don’t have a criminal record of any kind”, they still decided to located my “OUT OF STATE” new home address (out of their jurisdiction), instead of contacting me to get my side, and allow me to explain that my child and I were relocated out of state for safety because father was arrested years earlier for trying to strangle me to death.
The state police officer decided to neglect her lawfully required duties to perform an investigation into a “kidnapped child”, which includes statements from both the accuser and the accused.
Instead, the officer chose to only accept the one sided statements of the GAL and abusive ex boyfriend and not start an investigation.

If the officer ran the ex boyfriend’s name, the officer would’ve clearly seen his long criminal history of violence against multiple women.

The officer decided again to neglect their lawful duties and the state police policies that instruct officers to never giving information over a phone call (how does the officer know whom theyre speaking with?); and in a phone call the officer made to the ex boyfriend, the officer provided to the ex boyfriend; my new identity, my new “relocated” home address and my driver’s license number and chose to never contacted me to inform me of my Personal Identifying Information being shared without my consent to the ex boyfriend whom has been a constant threat to me, for years.

Most recently I was provided a 2022 state police report that is completely full of misinformation, and false facts to try to paint me in a false light, created by a lieutenant of the state police in reply to the criminal complaint I have been trying to file since 2018, once I learned my PII was shared illegally.
I constantly am refused by state police to take my complaint, i get hung up on, lied to, etc. because the only way to file a grievance is through the state police, as they oversee themselves so, as to not hold anyone truly accountable for their misconduct.

I also have in my possession documented proof of Child Support Enforcement agents committing fraud upon the court, violating our child’s right to be supported by both parents, violations of my disability rights, violations of my constitutional right to access the courts for a grievance by CSEA utilizing a state statute (46b-90c) created to protect the address of crime victims and used it on the abusive ex boyfriend’s last paper filing, by not filling in his address where it should be on the court document, instead the CSEA wrote “46b-90c” in replacement of his actual address; even though the ex boyfriend is not a crime victim, and no reason to protect his address.

Doing this violates my right to serve the ex boyfriend in the family court case, to inform the courts of the violations and get the violations corrected, violating my right to serve the other party with a protection order for the constant and ongoing stalking facilitate by the GAL and state police, that our child and I have endured the last nine years, forcing us to move every 1.5 years for safety, destroying any chance of our child receiving a fair education by remaining in one school system, no ability to build a foundation in one home, in one state, being forced to leave family, friends, healthy bonds and attachments that help children develop and grow, our childs ability at happiness and success destroyed starting at age 7.
When the ex boyfriend was successful at locating us in 2013, the courts forced our child to go into reunification therapy to prepare for a “ONE TIME VISIT” with the father the child is deathly afraid of after years of being exposed to him physically beat her mother and verbally torment her for the first give years of her life; This was supposedly done by the GAL, “in the best interest of the child”.
So after 1 month of constant reunification therapy, multiple times a week, and our child demanding to not do the visit, expressing their fear, anxiety built up inside, the abusive ex boyfriend never even showed up to the one time visit.
Did the courts hold him accountable for the legal abuse suffered upon both our child and myself? No, absolutely not. In fact he was rewarded for the abuse, wasting court resources and time by being granted a zero child support obligation to our (disabled) child based on CSEA lying to the courts for the ex boyfriend and claiming that “HE IS DISABLED AND UNABLE TO WORK”, even though at the time and still to this day there is a wage garnishment order which the CSEA takes MONEY FOR ARREARS OWED TO THE STATE OUT OF HIS “PAYCHECK”.

So how can a father be disabled and incapable of working so he cannot help to financially support their child by paying child support, yet he is working and has a garnishment order taking money out of his paycheck every week since 2010/2011?

Our child now suffers every day. The suffering is the outcome of the abusive ex boyfriend, the state court GAL, state police and CSEA misconduct and violations of my rights to privacy, jurisdiction violations, and violations of my childs rights to protection, and support; all to prevent me to act in the best interest of my child, as the protective mother that I am.

It is extremely disheartening to witness Allan and his flying monkeys (by proxy) grasp at straws by continuing to place all their efforts into painting Catherine in a false light as an abusive parent.

Catherine loves her children, she suffered greatly and I and every other protective mother will make sure that NO ONE controls the narrative to her experience, but Catherine.
We will also make sure that those in a powerful position like Allan stop trying to have the people focus on the measly 2 videos of Catherine, when there are dozens of videos showing Allan being the main aggressor in that household.

We will hold Catherine’s truth in the light, until justice is received.

Several years after my own imperfect parents contentiously divorced, my father took his own life. The suicide note he left has caused me decades of pain and hurt, despite much work and therapy.

I can only imagine how much worse it might have been had it happened in the internet age, the note had gone ‘viral’, and countless virtue signaling strangers had taken it upon themselves to opine on our situation.

Just stop commenting everyone. If you stop commenting, the bloggers and Tik-tokers will stop posting. None of what you’re doing is helping the children. For the rest of their lives, whenever they google themselves or their parents, this insanity will be the the first thing that pops up, and they will have to relive it again and again.

They are free to publicize it themselves when they are old enough to do so, should they so choose.

So sorry for your loss, 3:13. Cruel as the exposure of family court cases seem to be, think of the alternative.

We share images of The Holocaust with the hope that the sharing those primary sources of information will prevent such hell from happening in the future.

Years ago, had efforts to reform family courts succeeded before your parents “contentiously divorced”, your dad might have survived. He might have been able to avoid a “contentious divorce” to live happily ever after.

Divorce isn’t supposed to be contentious. What geniuses decided institutionalized contentious divorce would help anyone? Family courts aren’t supposed to be torture chambers.

This new revival of the family court reform effort is four decades old. Since the 1980s, “family courts” around the world have harmed and destroyed hundreds of millions of children and families. And as you might know, it can be a long and brutal time for all survive the nightmare.

Family court reform efforts focus on taking the purposely adversarial approach and profit out of the equation. Meanwhile, the “family law” industry and some legislators fight very hard to keep family courts as they were when your family suffered through it.

If we don’t do all we can to investigate, expose and reform family courts with this new momentum, millions more children and families will be as harmed as you, your family and I were every year this nightmare is allowed to continue.

Hoping for the best for you and for all.

My father was also a suicide victim. I experienced the awkwardness of answering people’s questions, of having personal stories of sadness/depression become subject to public scrutiny (at least the small “public” of our circle of friends and family). I was, true, an adult at the time. But I don’t think we should push too far on the idea that openly examining the Kassenoff’s lives is harmful to the children because it invades their privacy. Perhaps that would be true in the extreme, but we also — as a “public” — have an opportunity to show the children that we do care about how they feel, we listen to them, and aren’t using them merely as tokens pro or contra Allan vs. Catherine. If the videos of Catherine hadn’t been published, then most everyone would have been convinced that she was always a doting mother and he’s just an augur, which probably wouldn’t be a true reflection of what the girls really experienced. If the videos of Allan hadn”t been published, then Allan’s representation of Catherine as alienating and even mentally ill might have been taken as gospel (at least by those who knew them), which wouldn’t have been fair to the girls either. Perhaps in this case the only way to truly empathize with the children is to see inside the home a little bit.

How many more cases are like this? Perhaps one takeaway is that court proceedings and evaluations in matters of child custody with claims of (e.g.) abuse, narcissism, or alienation *should* be made public, at least in some manner. Children have the right to believe that society is not just taking either parent at their word.

@5:37 In answer to “how many more cases are like this?” I obviously don’t know but I think reading up on the case of Thomas Valva would remind people that these things do happen. Thomas’s mom lost custody to her ex husband who was a police officer. There was documented abuse at the fathers house that was ignored. Just one of many disturbing exchanges between Thomas Valva’s mother and the judge:

Court records reveal exchanges between Justyna Zubko-Valva and a judge during bitter hearings involving custody of all three of her sons, Tommy, Andrew and Anthony.

“My children are coming soaked in urine. Anthony is sleeping in the garage. His hands and feet are bright red, your honor. He’s not getting any food,” Zubko-Valva said.

“Ms. Valva, move along. I can’t remember everything you are saying because you’re saying so much,” the judge replied.

“Your honor, the CPS is not doing the job because they are closing the reports the next day,” Zubko-Valva said.

The judge denied her motion to return the children to her.

“Why? On what basis? The children’s life is in danger, your honor,” Zubko-Valva said.

“Because I said so,” the judge replied.

Thomas died in January of 2020 after being made to sleep in an ingested garage overnight. Thomas’ father Michael Valva was found guilty of his murder. The other two children were returned to their mother. The judges had formal How quickly we forget.

I’m not implying the girls were/are in physical danger with their father. I’m just pointing out that there is corruption in the family court. Formal misconduct charges were filed against the judges.

Sorry but the damage done to kids by making all of this stuff public is immeasurable. How would you like everyone you personally know and a bunch of random strangers to see your private family moments, to be told all about your mental health diagnoses, things you told your therapist, how you’re performing in school, how you get along with your parents and siblings, etc etc etc. There are reasons these proceedings are sealed, not to mention you are only seeing what one side or the other chooses to show you. The children have the right to decide if they want their private information released or not, Catherine stripped them of that right.

Sadly I have witnessed the same corruption in a case in Clark County Family Courts in Nevada, so I have no doubt of the authenticity of Catherine’s claims/case. Temporary orders with no end dates, accusations of parental alienation because the abused child doesn’t want to be with the other parent, corrupt judges who talk about the importance of protecting the children, while forcing them to be with their abuser… I don’t know about NY but in NV, the family courts are the profit centers, so it seems like this is done purposely because parents will fight for their children. I’m so sorry for what Catherine and her children have endured and what her children will continue to endure.

@Jonathan: How can you blame people for being skeptical in light of the fact (as reported here at FR) that Catherine took on a relative’s identity a few years ago, probably in an attempt to pull a stunt like this. Maybe this time she really did end her life, sadly, but you really can’t blame people for being hesitant to believe her story without any proof.

It’s fair to criticize all the legal and medical professionals (or “professionals”) who helped prolong and make (even more) toxic the Kassenoffs’ divorce. Perhaps Dimopoulos has given Allan dubious and self-serving advice and perhaps he has executed his responsibilities to represent his client in problematic ways. We should expect him to release a statement telling Allan’s side of the story, but that could be done without trying to cast aspersions on the media or on Catherine’s honest supporters (who presumably are most concerned about their children) or allude obliquely toward rumors that her suicide was faked (I don’t think it’s the role of the primary players to treat this case like some sort of John le Carré novel). Moreover, while it’s a normal reaction to be angered by how Catherine treats her daughters in the two videos released on the 14th that’s an equally normal response to how Allan behaved on the videos compiled by Robbie Harvey.

But with that said I’m troubled by many commenters seeming to explain away the videos and audios of Catherine’s behavior by calling the children “brainwashed” or suggesting they deliberately lied to protect themselves from Allan, or debating over minutiae such as whether sending an email with language you’re pressured into including isn’t different than “writing” it yourself. If indeed the daughters felt coerced from Allan to downplay their desire to see Catherine this makes Allan an alienator, but criticism should be directed at him, not them, and Catherine was clearly berating Charlotte by saying things like “I am not going to take that as an answer” and repeatedly calling her a liar. Charlotte is obviously upset by her mother’s behavior; she’s not just saying things she was told to say. This isn’t a pro forma “I didn’t write the letter”; language like “I hate you” and “I don’t want to come here” and “before you say, Oh, Allan’s making me say this because I know you’re gonna” are clearly the voice of someone traumatized by the antagonism all around her — she was describing her own feelings, not parroting words dictated by her father under duress (which is not to say that Allan wasn’t also twisting her in self-serving ways).

Indeed, Charlotte comes across as remarkably mature and sensitive (“I don’t like awkward situations”) for someone who’s not even a teenager. I understand people’s instinct to defend Catherine but doing so by repeating the narrative that Allan “brainwashed” their children disrespects their own feelings and their right to be angered by *both* parents’ behavior. Everyone acknowledges that the children are the true victims in this story, but people are not writing as if they truly mean that. Shame on us, then! Instead of imposing theories and assumptions on what the children say why don’t we actually listen to them and show that the larger society observing this case truly does care about the children more than we care about either parent?

One things I noticed is the “I miss you mommy” emails are written in a voice that sounds nothing like the girls sound on video. They are highly intelligent and verbally advanced. The emails sound like what someone would write who was trying to imitate the voice of a child. They do not seem authentic.

Mentally ill? Gus is an idiot. In Switzerland you have to show that you are of sound mind before they assist you with the suicide. Those girls were definitely brainwashed after being with Alan for 4 years. At one point one of the girls took a taxi to her mother’s house because she didn’t want to be with her father. They had also told their social worker that they couldn’t call their mother when their father was around and he would let their phones die so they couldn’t call her and he would hang up on their mother if they were on the phone with her. They also told their social worker that they couldn’t say that they miss their mom in front of their dad. Maybe these girls will see what their mother went through all because she loved them and wanted to be with them. To die and not even be able to have your children’s faces be the last ones you see before you close your eyes is so incredibly sad. The girls are old enough to understand that and Alan and all of the people involved in this case should be locked away for this.

“Mentally ill? Gus is an idiot. In Switzerland you have to show that you are of sound mind before they assist you with the suicide.”

The bar for “sound mind” is VERY low. It doesn’t mean that you have to be a picture of perfect mental health. It just means you can’t be obviously mentally disabled and incapable of making a decision, or in the midst of some kind of psychotic episode where you can’t tell a hallucination from reality, etc.

It’s kind of like when they find someone fit to stand trial. You might think that serial killer sure seems crazy, and they probably do have sociopathy, psychopathy and malignant narcissism, etc. but the judge says “they knew what they were doing. Sane!”

You basically just have to be sane enough to know what you’re doing and to understand the decision you are making to be approved. That’s all that sound mind means.

Bad news people. I just got a very official email from Catherine’s attorney and not only does he confirm how sane she is but it also takes up to a year for Swiss authorities to be able to be totally sure someone is dead!

The Swiss apparently maintain large warehouses and have bodies monitored for 12 months to ensure they are really really dead. They don’t trust their assisted suicide centers to get the job done in just a few hours and certainly can’t issue death certificates based solely on a doctor’s say so. Takes up to a year to be sure! While the rest of the world issues death certificates within 72 hours, the Swiss make their suicide centers keep bodies for 12 months before they will confirm a death.

Why is this not a matter of criminal culpability? Whatever her mental state, 1. If Catherine indeed completed her suicide. 2. If her videos of Allan Kassenoff upon forensic examination prove to be undoctored? She was bullied and harassed to suicide. In this case, https://people.com/pennsylvania-woman-charged-aiding-exs-suicide-7546743 does criminal culpability fail to attach to the conduct of the one doing the harrassing by dint of the decedent’s mental status? This man who completed his suicide was clearly in great pain (as was / is) Catherine. But his pain does not nullify the criminal conduct of his abuser. Let’s get this charged out at Allan already.

Um, clearly you are forgetting the part where she said she had a recent terminal cancer diagnosis? Of a virulent cancer, which means, deadly and fast moving? She ended her life because of the terminal cancer diagnosis. Even if she attempted treatment, she would not have lived long at all, if what she said about her diagnosis is true.

The thing with criminal culpability is that you actually need evidence someone is dead and there’s not one iota of evidence that Catherine is dead. A death certificate is a very simple matter, esp for an assisted suicide center that specializes in such matters. Catherine has been in hiding for 3 weeks now because she’s a BPD loon.

Best thing for her kids is to keep playing dead for the next decade.

I have the proof!
Ask Gus what happened in my divorce. Gus guaranteed my ex wife that she would win custody. She settled on the first day of trial to joint decision making with me having final decisions on religion. The parent coordinator just gave me final decision making on activities and camp, because I understand, am more in touch, and have the children’s best interest. My ex wife received ZERO dollars in attorney’s fees. My ex wife does not get spousal support because me and my team established that she has imputed income. Gus laughed at the offer day one that provided 50% more child support, tens of thousands of dollars of add-ons, etc., and he forced her to reject the offer and pay him $4,000,000 or so….and she ended up paying me three times as much!
I won, maybe with battle wounds, but I am going to have real courts adjudicate Gus’ misconduct. READ the lawsuits.

Yes, I certainly want to expose Gus Dimopoulos and Atty Bruggemann’s misconduct. It must be known. However, that case is no reason to have an axe to grind. The record was Judge Everett telling me I should not proceed ex parte. I wanted to represent myself to scream at the judges to protect my children. Thank you to Jill Spielberg and Evan Wiederkehr who came in and represented me (albeit with a little push from me) and i was able to SAVE my children! I have 50/50 custody and access to my children. I was deemed the better parent by many of the court appointed professionals because I care about my children and they are the number one priority.

Yep. To me they mostly seem very narcissistic that they won’t accept any responsibility for the role they played in producing the shitty outcome they got.

I believe Catherine first lost custody when one of her text exchanges were revealed… no one has ever said what was in those texts, but it must’ve been pretty damn bad that they immediately took the kids away from her based on them.

Has she ever accepted responsibility for that? No, she just wants to say it wasn’t right that Allan had copies of those texts.

It’s kind of like when a narcissistic cheater gets busted cheating by his GF, and he tries to shift the blame onto her saying she should never have violated his privacy and looked at his phone, insisting she is the “bad” person in the situation, and that she has no right to be upset because she should never have not trusted him and looked at his phone. Some people are so good at manipulating and gaslighting that they can actually twist the situation so much, the wronged person ends up apologizing to the narcissist who cheated.

Yes, the gaslighting is real. However, that said, the mom a parenting style shown in the video was extremely emotionally abusive. A healthy parent doesn’t bring a child to that age to tears on that level and continue on and on and on and on.

People are commenting that the viewers on the Frank report don’t care about the kids. Why? Because we are calling out ABUSE? Better sweep it all under the carpet? WTF????? One of the most PAINFUL parts of being abused as a child is feeling confused, wondering if abuse is deserved. Kids do not need or deserve to be abused in order to be managed. And if one of those kids is reading these articles, my wish for them is they feel EMPOWERED knowing none of this sits right with any of us. We believe that these kids deserve better. We want to call out the abuse to BREAK THE CYCLE not to take sides. My side is the kids!!! TEAM KIDS!

Let’s assume the girl did something seriously wrong that merited repercussions for her own future safety.

That doesn’t make it right for Catherine to accuse dad of living a double life and wanting a divorce IN FRONT OF THE CHILD and then when the daughter said (to Catherine, who just called her weird) “You always call me weird” Catherine has to then play tit-for-tat and scream repeatedly “Oh but your dad never called you moron?” about 20 times again and again. What the hell does any of that have to do with the problem the child had at school?

I wouldn’t be surprised if that was just one tiny example of Catherine dragging the children smack dab into the middle of her marital problems, which the children should’ve been shielded from.

For all we know, that could’ve been exactly what Catherine was doing in the vids she released, screaming the same question over and over and over again, until Allan lost his temper and just wanted to get out of the house. Then she taped him and chased him to be sure to get his “reactive abuse” response on film. It’s possible.

We should expect him to release a statement telling Allan’s side of the story, but that could be done without trying to cast aspersions on the media or on Catherine’s honest supporters (who presumably are most concerned about their children) or allude obliquely toward rumors that her suicide was faked (I don’t think it’s the role of the primary players to treat this case like some sort of John le Carré novel). Moreover, while it’s a normal reaction to be angered by how Catherine treats her daughters in the two videos released on the 14th that’s an equally normal response to how Allan behaved on the videos compiled by Robbie Harvey. But with that said I’m troubled by many commenters seeming to explain away the videos and audios of Catherine’s behavior by calling the children “brainwashed” or suggesting they deliberately lied to protect themselves from Allan, or debating over minutiae such as whether sending an email with language you’re pressured into including isn’t different than “writing” it yourself. If indeed the daughters felt coerced from Allan to downplay their desire to see Catherine this indeed makes Allan an alienator, but criticism should be directed at him, not them, and Catherine was clearly berating Charlotte by saying things like “I am not going to take that as an answer” and repeatedly calling her a liar. Charlotte is obviously upset by her mother’s behavior; she’s not just saying things she was told to say. This isn’t a pro forma “I didn’t write the letter”; language like “I hate you” and “I don’t want to come here” and “before you say, Oh, Allan’s making me say this because I know you’re gonna” are clearly the voice of someone traumatized by the antagonism all around her — she was describing her own feelings, not parroting words dictated by her father under duress (which is not to say that Allan wasn’t also twisting her in self-serving ways). Indeed, Charlotte comes across as remarkably mature and sensitive (“I don’t like awkward situations”) for someone who’s not even a teenager. I understand people’s instinct to defend Catherine but doing so by repeating the narrative that Allan “brainwashed” their children disrespects their own feelings and their right to be angered by *both* parents’ behavior. Everyone acknowledges that the children are the true victims in this story, but people are not writing as if they truly mean that. Shame on us, then! Instead of imposing theories and assumptions on what the children say why don’t we actually listen to them and show that the larger society observing this case truly does care about the children more than we care about either parent?

Not funny, really. Someone might have wanted her gone to stop her from exposing the corruption.

Mr. lawyer friend, of minus one, your comprehention of mental illness isnt surprising, you being a lawyer. Pretending to be suicided or suiciding in itself, falls in line with multiple mental health disorders. I’m only a doctor of bullshit but my diagnosis is; Fictitious Disease, bipolar, alcoholism and personality disorder. If Catherine is alive and reading the Frank Report I would lastly add ptsd to the list of mental illnesses Catherine suffered/suffers from.

We’ve had Jewish, Italian, German, *Black and Hispanic attorneys on the Frank Report,
But never a Greek attorney.

This is a first!!!!!

*Note:
The Frank Report is Woke forward so I made sure to capitalize the ‘B’ in black.

It’s all Greek good to me.

My guess:
Catherine committed suicide in a remote location or body of water.

Otherwise where is she?

Sad story.

Story is losing steam. Legit media knows this is a farce and won’t touch it because three weeks on there is zero proof, just a bitter woman releasing dirty laundry from a custody battle. The basic fact checking required for real news outlets make them back far away from this steaming pile. Now it’s only Frank and TikTokers holding on to the farce.

“TikToker proclaims Catherine really dead on NEWSMAX, Just trust him” is how low we’ve gone now.

I think it’s important to focus on the real enemies of the courts written above. Allan and Catherine are both victims of parental alienation racketeering. Allan may not realize he was used by his high power friends yet.

I do believe Allan is a victim, as my ex-wife is, of GUS CONSTANTINE DIMOPOULOS. I would represent them in a malpractice action.

Going on three weeks and still zero proof Catherine went to a Swiss suicide spa, well besides a bitter FB post and a tiktoker saying “trust me bro”. Sad.

I agree with someone who posted yesterday that it seems there are many PR posts with the same line of thoughts against Catherine. They all have a single different names. Do they think the public is stupid? It didn’t convince me because I thought someone who has interest in this case was flooding this site with an aggressive pr campaign of “”Misinformation ” And who can be???? Let the reader use discernment. I applaud Jonathan Davidoff for having the guts to write this well informed article. I don’t know Gus…..but after reading the emails, watching the videos etc the evidence is big against the husband. He bullied his wife and suffers from Narcissism ( Hg Tudor video YouTube) It seems to me that there is a mafia in that town and need to be address ASP. Those that were maligned by this lawyer (Gus…) and all the other ones involved in this case should file a lawsuit against them in that way they will loose their blood money and their licenses forever. They don’t deserve to be representing anyone. They are criminals in suit

About the Author

Frank Parlato is an investigative journalist.

His work has been cited in hundreds of news outlets, like The New York Times, The Daily Mail, VICE News, CBS News, Fox News, New York Post, New York Daily News, Oxygen, Rolling Stone, People Magazine, The Sun, The Times of London, CBS Inside Edition, among many others in all five continents.

His work to expose and take down NXIVM is featured in books like “Captive” by Catherine Oxenberg, “Scarred” by Sarah Edmonson, “The Program” by Toni Natalie, and “NXIVM. La Secta Que Sedujo al Poder en México” by Juan Alberto Vasquez.

Parlato has been prominently featured on HBO’s docuseries “The Vow” and was the lead investigator and coordinating producer for Investigation Discovery’s “The Lost Women of NXIVM.” Parlato was also credited in the Starz docuseries "Seduced" for saving 'slave' women from being branded and escaping the sex-slave cult known as DOS.

Additionally, Parlato’s coverage of the group OneTaste, starting in 2018, helped spark an FBI investigation, which led to indictments of two of its leaders in 2023.

Parlato appeared on the Nancy Grace Show, Beyond the Headlines with Gretchen Carlson, Dr. Oz, American Greed, Dateline NBC, and NBC Nightly News with Lester Holt, where Parlato conducted the first-ever interview with Keith Raniere after his arrest. This was ironic, as many credit Parlato as one of the primary architects of his arrest and the cratering of the cult he founded.

Parlato is a consulting producer and appears in TNT's The Heiress and the Sex Cult, which premiered on May 22, 2022. Most recently, he consulted and appeared on Tubi's "Branded and Brainwashed: Inside NXIVM," which aired January, 2023.
