So, let us find out who is speaking the truth, and who is not.

Evidence Gulliver’s Open Letter

Gulliver has written an open letter defending his father. He says that he was present during that particular argument.

His mother Donya accused his father of hitting with the telephone in front of their children. But Gulliver says that that incident “did not happen.”

He wrote,

“In the case of my father, there is only innocence. There never has been any guilt. The young man also noted that his father was granted full custody with the divorce, adding, Custody of children is not given to a wife beater, and under most circumstances, hardly ever a man. My having lived, full time with my father should be in itself, proof enough.”

He added,

“This lie, all of her lies, things she has been perpetuating and living in as “her truth” —all of this has brought about so much pain and hardship for my father and for all of us.”

“I want only to protect my father’s character, as a person and as an actor.
