Examining the Language of Blame in AJ Lashbrook’s Abuse Towards Kaley Clarke.
In a recent message, AJ Lashbrook continued his ongoing harassment of Kaley Clarke with the disturbing comment: “The child abuser is having a bad day. She's triggered to hell an back. She can't stand the attention she's getting, yet she's spent a very long time begging for it.” This message mirrors the dangerous rhetoric often employed by rapists and abusers, who claim that their victims "were asking for it"—a tactic used to justify their actions while positioning themselves as the innocent party.
By stating that Kaley "begged for" the attention she is now receiving, Lashbrook attempts to flip the narrative, absolving himself of any wrongdoing and placing the blame squarely on his victim. This language is not only cruel, but it also seeks to trivialise Kaley’s suffering and normalise Lashbrook’s abusive behaviour. Such rhetoric reinforces the toxic belief that victims somehow deserve the mistreatment they receive, perpetuating a harmful cycle of victim-blaming that makes it even harder for those being targeted to seek help or find justice.
Lashbrook’s comment is emblematic of a larger pattern of manipulation commonly seen in abusive relationships. Abusers often gaslight their victims, making them question their own reality and suggesting that the abuse is a natural consequence of their actions. In this case, Lashbrook claims that Kaley's distress is self-inflicted because she "begged for attention." The insinuation is clear: Lashbrook is portraying himself as the passive bystander responding to a situation Kaley has supposedly orchestrated, rather than the active perpetrator of sustained harassment and abuse.
This toxic mindset is pervasive in cases of emotional and psychological abuse, where the abuser denies responsibility and attempts to shift the blame onto the victim. Lashbrook’s language underscores the need to recognize and call out these tactics, as they are designed to further degrade and control the victim while evading accountability. By comparing his rhetoric to the language used by rapists, we can see how Lashbrook’s statements reflect a broader culture of abuse that seeks to rationalise harmful behaviour while vilifying those who are already suffering.
Ultimately, this blog post highlights the dangerous consequences of Lashbrook's behaviour, both for Kaley Clarke and for anyone facing similar treatment. The insidious nature of his words reveals his deep-seated need to dominate and control, masking his abusive tendencies with the twisted logic that his victim somehow "deserves" what she is going through. It is crucial that we continue to challenge this narrative and support those who are targeted by online harassment, exposing the truth behind the rhetoric of abusers like AJ Lashbrook.
