About Jade Harrelson and her Assault Claim

We provided the reporter with information which points out that Jade lied in her statement to the court, we pointed out that Jade’s stories are not only inconsistent with what witnesses tell us, but also with her own statements. For instance, Jade had previously stated to the court that she was trapped and alone in Korea without money and could not report to authorities or file a claim on her alleged assault until she returned to the US in 2008. The Motion to Reconsider and its Exhibit show Jade’s online chatter about herself and her life during that time. We know that Jade was living with her boyfriend and eventually married him. We also learned, she travelled extensively during that time to China, Japan and the US. She doesn’t sound so trapped and she doesn’t sound so broke. So why didn’t she tell the truth to the court? She did. After the Motion for Reconsideration was filed. Jade and her attorney filed an Amended Complaint which tells a different story, including that Lucie paid for Jade’s return to the US.

Jade’s Lies

We also know that Jade has a history of talking about her sexual experiences, often, not true and many people speak of her previously wearing a red ribbon around her neck, identifying herself as a victim of sexual assault. Also, before she went to Korea witnesses confirm that she had scars on her wrists from cutting herself, even though she says in the complaint that she began cutting herself after her alleged assault. Finally, in her online chatter she mentions several assaults of a sexual nature while she was in Korea, but made no reference to the alleged assault that is part of the claim in the lawsuit.

Dahn Yoga Statement on Julia Siverls’ Tragic Accident

The death of Dr. Julia Siverls was an unfortunate hiking accident and a tragic loss. What started out as a simple claim was blown out of proportion big when the lawyer for the plaintiffs created sensational claims in order to press for a large sum of money. He claimed that Dahn Yoga was a cult, that Dahn Yoga had drugged Dr. Siverls and forced her to go on a long hike in the desert with 40 pounds of stones in a backpack and very little water. He also claimed that several Dahn Yoga affiliates and the founder were also responsible and sued for $84 Million. After several investigations the Sheriff’s report revealed no criminal activity and no signs of foul play. The county coroner’s report also revealed that there were no drugs in Julia’s body. There is no basis to the claims that she had been denied food or water and carried a backpack full of large stones. Julia’s diary revealed how much she loved Dahn Yoga and that she was not forced to participate in any training. The case was dismissed and there was a customary insurance settlement. This story should not be news, but it seems that the plaintiffs’ lawyer did not get the payoff he expected and has become a sour grapes critic of Dahn Yoga.
