Princess Märtha Louise & Durek Verrett News & Current Events Part 2: 2024 -

[Lady Daly]

Thank you, Victor. I think this is the original story from Se og Hør:

- Durek Verrett befølte meg

Tobarnsfaren mener at han ble forsøkt manipulert og utsatt for seksuelt overgrep av Durek Verrett. Nå slår han alarm om sjamanen. Durek tilbakeviser påstandene.

www.seher.no

Yes, he discussed it in his 2020 interview with Vanity Fair.

The Princess and the Shaman

When Gwyneth Paltrow’s guru met Princess Märtha Louise of Norway, reality seemed like a fairy tale. Can these two lovers have their happily ever after?

www.vanityfair.com

Dare I say "sexual predator" in the context of these articles.

 

[LadyFinn]

On Saturday evening, Durek was with King Harald and Queen Sonja at Folketeateret in the center of Oslo, obviously they saw the musical "Jesus Christ Superstar".

Snakket de om overgreps-anklagene?

- Vil tro at dette er en vanskelig sak, forteller Se og Hørs kongehusekspert.

Well, Durek probably pointed out one of the disciples and said: That was me in one of my previous lives.

He went with King Harald and Queen Sonja, he simply couldn't be happier.

Say what you want, but Durek is living the "American dream," sort off...
He has gone from convict and abuser to rubbing shoulders with majesties. Quite a feat actually.

I should laugh but I can only manage some croaking sounds.

 

[Prinsara]

He has gone from convict and abuser to rubbing shoulders with majesties. Quite a feat actually.

Or not so much… now they have another abuser and likely-soon-to-be-convict who’s not only rubbed shoulders but was raised there.

It’s glum, if not outright grim.

 

[LadyFinn]

Se og Hør tells that Durek takes legal action about their article about Joakim Byström and Durek.

Durek's lawyer Geir Lippestad confirms that they are now taking legal action and reporting Se og Hør.
- That's right. I am of the opinion that making such serious allegations about a person is punishable according to Section 267 of the Criminal Code.
He also confirms that the case has been reported to the Norwegian Press Complaints Commission (PFU).
Se og Hør's editor-in-chief says the following about the information:
- I can confirm that we have received word from Lippestad that he wants to take legal action and go to PFU. Right now, we do not wish to comment further on the matter.

Anmelder Se og Hør

Durek Verrett tar grep etter de alvorlige anklagene.

More problems for the NRF:
Joakim Boström turned up at a police office in Sweden today and reported Durek Verrett for abuse.
- The reason I am now reporting the case is that I hope that others who have been subjected to sexual abuse also dare to come forward, regardless of who the perpetrator is.
Se og Hør has asked Durek's lawyer Geir Lippestad for a comment on the police report: Se og Hør has received confirmation that Joakim Boström has reported Durek in Sweden. How does your client approach this?
- I have no comment on this, Lippestad replies.

SISTE: Durek politianmeldt

Tirsdag kom sjokkpåstanden om at Durek Verrett skal ha utsatt Joakim Boström for et overgrep. I dag fredag var han hos politiet og anmeldte kongens svigersønn.

[Muhler]

Durak can sue all he wants. He's gonna lose hands down. He can't sue a magazine for factually reporting something and win.
The freedom of the press is taken seriously in Norway.
It's not something Se & Hør made up.

 

[Hans-Rickard]

Hiring ”Gangster Lawyers” seems to be a thing in the outskirts of the Norwegian RF nowdays… First Marius and Øyvind Bratlien, and now Durek and Geir Lippestad who defended (norways biggest traitor since Vidkun Quisling) Anders Behring Breivik…

 

[tommy100]

Yes I don't see how he can sue when the magazine is reporting what someone has claimed happened. The article I read in Se Her reported both the claims and the response of Derek and his team so seemed pretty balanced factually and meeting its obligations.

 

[Maryrose]

Is he looking to sue for slander?

 

[Muhler]

Good grief. That makes two within the NRF who are at present being investigated by police for acts under the penal code! (Three if it turns out MM obstructed a police investigation.)
I so miss the good old days where speeding constituted a royal scandal.

 

[Somebody]

I guess her leadership abilities are sub-par given how she hasn't been very successful in redefining the role of a modern royal. I think most royal families, including her own, consider her redefinition a failure.

 

[Lady Daly]

It appears ML has aligned herself with Michael Beckwith the minister at she and Durek's wedding. He is a Beverly Hills new age practitioner (and former drug addict). He has spent decades working to legitimize himself creating his own ministry, Agape International Spiritual Center. Beckwith refers to himself as "Dr" Beckwith, perhaps obtained from his ministry school.

"Dr Beckwith grew up a  Methodist but left his religion early at the age of 16. In his early 20s he attended Morehouse College because Martin Luther King was its most famous graduate. He transferred to the University of Southern California and graduated, in 1985, from Ernest Holmes College School of Ministry."

"As a young man, in southern California, Beckwith was arrested for possession of drugs. While incarcerated, he turned to mystical readings. Fortunately he was released without being charged. Nonetheless the experience prompted him to vow to make a spiritually purposeful life for himself"

Michael Bernard Beckwith (1956- ) •

Dr. Michael Bernard Beckwith, a leading New Thought minister, was born in 1956, and is married to Rickie Byars Beckwith, also a New Thought leader. Together they have four children and six grandchildren. Dr Beckwith was the founder, in 1986, of the Agape International Spiritual … Read...

Beckwith's bio aligns himself to Morehouse College and the University of Southern California yet graduating from neither. He apparently graduated from a place called Ernest Holmes College School of Ministry in 1985, not affiliated with USC. Ernest Holmes 1887-1960 was an American "New Thought" writer, teacher, and leader. He was the founder of a spiritual movement known as Religious Science, part of the greater New Thought movement, whose spiritual philosophy is known as "The Science of Mind." He was author of "The Science of Mind" and numerous other  metaphysical books and the founder of Science of Mind.

Hopefully the next generation of Norwegian Royals won't become too modern.

Oh, dear...
Se og Hør can document through voice messages they have obtained, that Durek admits that he has had sexual contact with clients.
- It was a mistake, and I am aware of that mistake, he confesses in the audio recording.
The articles can be found at Se og Hør's website.

Has Durek told to the King and Queen, what news stories there could come of his previous life?

Innrømmer sex med klienter

Durek Verrett innrømmer at han har krysset grenser i avslørende opptak som Se og Hør har fått fatt i.

oh boy.
but not to worry, im sure they will talk about it as a family.

 

[LadyFinn]

Norwegian Press Complaints Commission has received a complaint against Se og Hør from Durek Verrett/lawyer Geir Lippestad, but the complaint has not yet been considered for further processing.

[hereditarytitles]

"Se og Hor" is this a tabloid/gossip paper? Or can it be taken serious? That could make a difference concerning complaints.
Looks like Derek is presently busy with defending himself against all kinds of complaints. There might come more in the future. Does anybody know where he and Märtha are presently living, Norway or in the US?

Se og Hør is a gossip magazine and you can't take it serious.

 

[Lori138]

Well it seems pretty accurate on its Marius reporting.

 

[Lady Daly]

So Durek isn't happy about his voice mails being leaked? The voice mails where he admits that he has had sexual contact with clients.

I wonder if his former clients have any grounds for suing Durek? It's all so tawdry. The more we know the creepier it gets. I can't imagine King Harold is proud of his daughter at this point. It seems like the least King Harold could do is ban Durek from showing up at anymore royal functions.

 

[maria-olivia]

Do you mean we will not see him on further royal Events in Norway ?

It is - mainly - a pretty sleazy gossip mag, often crossing the border of decency. With a history of interpreting the truth in as angled and sensational way as possible. (You can't actually make up lies, according to legislation.)
However, this is factual. And reporting and investigating facts is what the press is supposed to do and at present Se&Hør is in the forefront of digging up unpleasant things on both Durek and Marius and base it on facts. I guess their journalists enjoy being real journalists for once...
Durek cannot sue a Norwegian magazine for publishing facts. It's a no win. And Durek can't claim privacy because writing about unwanted sexual advances that Durek did while "treating" a client is, no matter how you look at it, in the "public interest", because Durek is married to a Norwegian Princess who is also in line for the throne. - After all Durek could in theory end up being the consort of the Norwegian head of state.
That his lawyer even wants to go ahead with this is IMO baffling. Not least because Se&Hør belongs to Aller, which is one of the largest publishing houses in Scandinavia, perhaps even the largest. A lawsuit won't scare them. - At all!

 

[victor1319]

If I remember it right, the first, who spoke about it, this Joakim B. from Sweden - he has children! So he might be a red blooded heterosexual!

I do not know, if this is the point for the Shaman, his thing so-to-say, but it makes his beheaviour very more dangerous! We will see, what else comes to light...

 

[LadyFinn]

Durek and Märtha Louise have kept a low profile after the sex scandal was revealed. They were absent from the big Elle party earlier this week, where the couple must have been invited. They have attended many Elle events.
An eyewitness tells Se og Hør that the couple took a morning flight on Thursday - to Munich in Germany. Here they had a stopover, before the journey continued. A passenger tells that the couple caused quite a stir in Munich with their loud talk and many questions about where their correct gate was.

More about Durek's voice messages in Se og Hør, which points out that the messages that Se og Hør has access to are from 2020 - the year after Durek and Märtha Louise confirmed that they were a couple.

I see...
I suggest those who don't understand Norwegian to listen to the two sound files in the Se&Hør link kindly posted by LadyFinn. Durek certainly presents this in a, for him, much more innocent light. (There is a brief intro in Norwegian in each video.)

But he can't help indirectly bragging a little about his "powers as a shaman" or perhaps rather his allure as a shaman.

In any way it's deeply unprofessional for a therapist and also putting the therapist in a very vulnerable and potentially costly situation.

Durek may think he's a therapist and perhaps in Norway he is. However, in the US the bare minimum of education to put your shingle out as a "therapist" is as a MSW, Masters Degree in clinical Social Work or a Phd, doctorate in clinical psychology. What Durek did no matter where he worked, Sweden, Norway, or US is called sexual assault and abuse a punishable crime, at least going before the courts. ML is considered a codependent and possibly punishable in some form because she knew about Durek's sex crimes. It just keeps getting worse and worse. Durek and ML are beyond disgusting!!!
