I believe a number of saucy details about the ending of that relationship can be found further back in this thread.

My question was not why Durek wanted him to sign it but why it would be in any way interesting for his ex to do so as it was all about protecting Durek and nothing at all that seemed beneficiary for Hank.

And the court emphasize that they have in no way helped or offered advise to Durak in regards to the interview with NRK and VG.
Contradicting what Durek said during the short interview: That he is being counseled by the court.
The court also makes it clear that they never set up conditions prior to interviews, even though they at times have conditions in regards to the use of photos and interviews, after they have taken place. That can be a ban on selling an interview to other medias (i.e. profiting too much on the NRF) or banning the use of photos of the children.

I am sure the NRF doesn't like to be lied about so blatantly and be pulled into this mess that they are actively trying to distance themselves from every step of the way.

I presume he must be bisexual?

Seems like 2019 was a year of disastrous interviews for more than one person. I'll say the same thing about the "shaman" that I've said about the other disastrous interview. Perhaps Mr. Verrett presumed that because his "love" is a princess, everyone would see his words and actions as golden and fall at his feet throwing money? This is how legends in their own minds think.

"It's better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than open it and remove all doubt."

Ah, I see.

Well, IMO it wouldn't be at all in the boyfriend's interest.
You can also turn the question around: Why would it be in Durek's interest to try and pressure his ex into signing a gagging order?
Surely he can sue the ex anyway if what he is saying isn't true? Or sue if he divulges too many intimate informations? I.e breach of privacy.

To that I will add that Durek probably thought that he would be treated as a kind of semi-royal or at least with the respect he (no doubt believe) is entitled to as the high ranking celebrity he is...
Or, as you say, he expected people would be in awe of him descending on Norway. Keep in mind, He is the Child of Light.

- He should have asked some of his ancestors or spirit guides, surely some of them were prophets, and they could no doubt tell him that prophets more often than not end up as martyrs.

Good point; that's another interesting question. It was Durek who proposed it, so, yes, he must have had his reasons for it...

Still, I wonder why Durek thought that his former boyfriend would be willing to sign something that had only benefits for Durek and none at all for him (Hank). Is he that blind for other people's perspective and/or did he offer something in return?

Now he announces several lawsuits against Norwegian media.

Here he leaves an interview with the newspaper VG that asked questions about his past."

What a mess ML gets herself into time after time,and then with this pretentious creature,get a life!!!But then out of our view please mange takk!

[Osipi]

Its not preposterous for me to think that sooner or later, this "shaman's" true nature will be revealed and the stardust will clear from ML's eyes and she'll see who he really is. As the saying goes, love is blind but the neighbors ain't.

Give Durek Verrett enough rope and he'll eventually hang himself with it. I believe this is already in progress from what I've read.

I thought she still headed her royal patronages and supports them. I haven't heard that she has been removed from them, perhaps I missed that. That would be a proper and logical step in my opinion.

The moment that her boyfriend threatened to sue the press in her country should have been enough to give her head a shake. So sad. I didn't mind when she was conversing with the angels and encouraging others to follow a less travelled path. It wasn't too damaging and one could roll their eyes and say "well, that's the princess", if they didn't agree. But this....sad.

However, Denville, I do think her behaviour in this phase of her life is scandalous.

[HereditaryPrincess]

The Shaman has "undermined his reputation" of his own accord, the press didn't need to manipulate anything in order to do so!

From what I've seen and heard of him, I think he is all the way homosexual. I think he dumped his boyfriend and has latched onto Martha Louise because she was an easy and very willing target and, to his mind, she will make him famous. That boyfriend can't do that. I have a feeling Martha Louise was the most stupid woman he could find who was marginally famous. I can't imagine an American woman of any fame would want him. I'm just wondering how much longer this thing with ML will last. He is currently (in)famous in Norway but I don't see him being satisfied with that. I think his long-term plan is to get to the United States, either with or without ML and build his brand here.

Durek is from the U.S-he was born and grew up in California. And he already is acquainted with some U.S. celebrities. Gwyneth Paltrow featured him on her Goop website. Some places he is called her spiritual guide or healer.

So much confusion there is back from Durek! I think this relationship will end sooner or later. Martha Louise is being used and only she doesn't see it. Let's see if this story will end well for Princess Martha Louise's side ...

When I read the bit about how he (Verrett) believes that women who have had many lovers have an "imprint" in their intimate parts that needs to be cleansed...the first word that came screaming through was MISOGYNIST.

I mean, okay fine. But what about promiscuous males? No cleansing necessary?

[Lee-Z]

same here, but apparently Gwyneth Paltrow advocates that line of thinking as well, so it's not just a male vs female thinking..

I'm all for open minds and thinking outside of the box, but people like this shaman irk me when they stimulate people to do so, but then turn out to only want them to think along their own school of thought ("inside their box" if you will no visual image intended).

His utterings about "if you don't overcome a disease you didn't want it enough" are hurtful, disrespectful and dangerous imo

To me he comes across as one who thinks he knows it all and can mold others the way he wants them, and maybe in M-L he found someone who is indeed very moldable...but he probably thought that would give him a platform into a bigger european audience to promote his worldvision, and that is unlikely to happen.

imo he also comes across as a person who is very sure of himself and when someone doesn't agree, he will lay the blame with the other; that too will not work with many people and certainly not with the media

This is one time that I would have liked him to hook up with a british princess, just to see what the british media would make of him...they'd have a fieldday

What on earth must her family feel? Are they concerned she is being manipulated by this modern day Rasputin wannabe or are they merely resigned to the continuing embarrassment wrought by her increasingly eccentric behaviour.

Personally I wrote her off where she became obsessed with Angels and co-founded her Angel School. I was pretty well convinced that Elvis had long since left the building.

I won’t link to it, but the ‘Fail’ has a tacky story about the shaman today.

Most norwegians lost their positive interest in her when she married Ari. But that is long forgotten now and Ari is treated like he is a saint because he is dead and because of her new even more controversial boyfriend.

People have short memory......

I can only agree with you here, Hans-Rickard! Exactly how I perceive things about Märtha.
I remember vividly the "storm" her wedding caused (at least pushed by the media...) to the then so called "scandal-author" Ari Behn, who had himself being filmed using weed on film in the presence of prostitutes... As a consequence she had to put down her HRH along this wedding.
And yes, post mortem almost every celebrity becomes a "saint"... Late Pr Henrik of Denmark also comes to my mind here! How much of an annoying embarressment he was for "Queen and country", his eccentricities, the extra treatments for his dachshounds, his bad danish ... right after his death he was canonised.
I just wished they had regarded Ari the worthful individual, with problems and mistakes like everyone, he was instead of putting him on a pedestal now!

Oh, eww. If she loves him, she can have him, but I'd like to think she's more sense between the ears than to hook up with someone who thinks something so repulsive, especially when she has three impressionable daughters. Who knows what kind of garbage they've picked up in the time he's been with M-L.
