Honestly, the more I hear the more I side with Varly. This girl sounds nuts, and it sounds like she is looking for a pay day.
She makes all these allegations, but has no proof of them. She can't produce any injuries of any kind.
The timing of this is just too perfect, especially since these actions supposedly have been going on for awhile. She waited until he was playing good hockey, so to rub it in even more. She could have easily done this last year when he was struggling but no she waited until now.
Like I said I work in the industry, I have dealt with many DV cases (its not our main thing but it does come up frequently) over the years, and one of my jobs is to talk to people to see if they A. have a case and B. if holes can be poked in it. If this lady had come to me with no physical evidence of what she was claiming and a wishy washy, round about story, our firm would have probably said something to the extent of sorry we don't feel you have a strong enough case for us to represent you at this point in time. But like I said our firm actually believes in ethics.
The other thing that really sways me toward Varly is the fact that, he is being offered all this help from real high ups like the Russian gov't, but is not taking it. This to me shows that he is confident enough in his side of the story that the truth will come out. If you've got something to hide and your countries gov't says they will help you, you don't reject the help as they can really throw their weight around.
