To Whom It May Concern,

I have known Jerry Thibodeau since 2004.  At one point we were very involved lovers, and at no point in the 6 years that I have known him he has never shown any stalking or even abusive behaviors towards any woman. He was always caring and decent towards me.  I have seen him date other women over the years, since he and I have remained close, and he is especially loving towards the women he chooses to be with. I remember when he was with Courtney, and I remember that he was very kind to her and gentle with her, and that he did all that he could to make her happy.

Towards the end of his time with Courtney Pawloski, he would often talk with me about how he was confused, and wanted advice about what to do about Courtney's unfair treatment towards him.

After they broke up, Jerry was very upset and confused about the entire situation and especially the way someone he once loved could say and do the things Courtney had done. As I have stated before he and I have remained friends so I have been kept up to date on the situation. I don’t know Courtney, but I do know Jerry, and I know that Jerry would never, and has never done any of the things that Courtney has accused him of doing. I also feel like Courtney twisted, what would by any normal person's standard of a "morning" period, to the extreme and even attempted to manipulate the legal system to serve her own self righteous form of "morning".

Again I do not know Courtney, but I do understand break ups and "morning" periods that follow, seriously who hasn't though? Continuing to attack your ex-fiance with lies and pretending that they are stalking you is not a sign of "moving on". It’s a sign of guilt, anger, selfishness, and mostly immaturity. That she has still to this day not straightened the record about Jerry is a continued attack on him.

Jerry is a good guy. I don’t know what Courtney’s problem is, but I do know that Jerry has been trying to live his life without her. 

I was in steady contact with Jerry during the breakup while he was living in Portland, and I’ve been in steady contact with him ever since then as well, and I can assure any readers that Jerry Thibodeau is not "crazy" or a "stalker" of any kind, he has gone out of his way to avoid her uncalled for confrontations and accusations. He is trying to get on with his life, on a different end of the state for that matter. I can also verify that Jerry was provoked to a criminal extent, because I have witnessed this provocation.  When Jerry was being provoked, his response would be, yet again, twisted around to support these false accusations from Courtney and some of the people close to her. I understand they want to help and support her but there is such a thing as enabling, especially if you do not fully know the situation. I am not making a judgment, I am expressing what I have observed and what I know. I know Jerry and I know what he has and is going through.  

I have witnessed people helping Courtney to do this, and I think it’s wrong, this is a break up plain and simple, harassment is unnecessary, and that’s why I’m writing this—I think people should be able to know what really happened and know that the things Courtney says about Jerry are parts of her imagination.

Jerry Thibodeau is a good person, and he lives for the people that he loves. It is why we became lovers before and during some of his college years, and it’s why we continue to remain friends.

I have never met anyone who knows Jerry to say otherwise, and I know him inside and out, like no one else.  This entire issue is an overly elaborate fabrication made by someone who was desperate for revenge over a relationship that she herself ruined with paranoia. We only have one life why waste it on make believe? I am one of many people who also want Courtney to come clean about the lies she made up about Jerry because I have watched him suffer deeply as a result of them.
