Paul LeBon - Resigned as Managing Editor June 9

 

I joined the Rhode Island Wave at the request of the owner/publisher in November, 2021. I am the author of 9 published books and previously wrote a column in Texas, and have written in business journals..

At the time it was a Right Wing rag, with a monthly column by a White Supremacist, a has been professional baseball player. His columns were filled with lies, personal attacks, racist and mysoginistic comments. He was jettisoned.

On the video side we had a person conducting interviews with people in Recovery who would joke about how much cocaine he used to snort. He too was sent packing.

I brought in new contributors, cleaned up the appearance of the paper and standardized formats. I wrote a monthly column, and more importantly I took over the role of interviewer from a loud, garish woman. She made every interview about herself; I held conversations with interviewees and let them tell their story.

In our May Edition I conducted an interview with the head men's basketball coach at Providence College. He had taken the team to the Sweet 16 and been named NCAA Men's Basketball Coach of the Year. The interview was posted on You Tube and a 2 page feature story was written.

In our June edition (pictured above) I secured interviews with Dr. Anthony Fauci, the President's Advisor on COVID-19. When I first reached out to him the owner/publisher told me I was 'delusional'. She has never left the State of Rhode Island; I have a broad background in corporate and international relations and know how to connect with high profile individuals. Due to the fact that he participated in a University commencement by Zoom, we were the only media outlet in New England to have a live interview with him.

I also secured an interview with Judge Frank Caprio, star of the globally broadcast 'Caught in Providence'. These two interviews thrust The Rhode Island Wave into a new realm of professionalism. A far cry from the June, 2021 issue when the cover story was on Lou's Cigar Lounge.

Working with the owner/publisher was a real challenge. I was barely compensated - $50 per video interview but I did it to carry me through the Pandemic until I could get back to a project I had put on hold in 2020. The owner/publisher had no business acumen. I brought 30 years of marketing consulting to the table, tried to offer ways to grow ad revenues and readership.

But all she wanted to focus on was conducting interviews and creating slick videos. She was talented in that area but stubbornly to accept any suggestions as to how to increase viewership. Of the 30 plus videos, none had been viewed more than 50 times.

She tasked me with securing a sponsor for the videos. I told her that would be impossible, that no one would pay to sponsor a video with so few views. She was adamant - she wanted me to go to the largest furniture store in the region and try to sell the brothers who own the company with false numbers!

This was truly an asinine idea as YouTube shows the number of views for each video.

I spent 30 years training salespeople to sell with integrity; I was not going to point my moral compass into her sewer.

We had quite a dispute - fortunately via text message - so she can not dispute her own word and actions. She accused me as she often had of trying to boss her around whenever I offered constructive criticism or pushed back on her crazy ideas or her constant profanity.

This came just after we had clashed over her desecrating photos of an interviewee. This beautiful, intelligent young lady- a beauty pageant winner - had submitted numerous family photos for overlay on the interview video. She did that, but also cut and pasted head shots of the young lady with whom she was obsessed into what she called a ;lesbian love collage'. She had previously made sexually inappropriate comments about our summer intern.

As the argument over conning the furniture store continued, this woman who self medicates told me to 'Go F*** Myself'. That was the final straw. I had listened to her incessantly use the F-bomb to talk about politicians (Trump and Mayor Jorge Alorza her favorites) her numerous former and current lovers (a lesbian who hustles elderly men as an escort), even some of the Wave's advertisers or their girlfriend.

But slinging it at me that way, I decided I no longer wanted to be affiliated with such a vile degenerate.

I resigned and demanded that any video in which I appeared be removed because she had never purchased the rights to use my image.

So in her true character as a vindictive self proclaimed 'lifelong bull dyke' she posted her hateful lie-filled screed on her website, showing the world how hateful she is. She lied claiming that I tried to force her to turn the paper over to me. I have books to market, a new start-up web application being developed - and I know nothing about desktop publishing or graphic arts, but that lie shows the depths to which this vile 'bull dyke' will go to seek to destroy my reputation.

She went so far as to call me insane - a person who attends multiple meeting weekly of AA, Adult Children of Alcoholics, and Children of Dysfunctional Families, and who is an adherent to some pagan relation.

To top it off, she connected with another depraved woman in Texas who twice kidnapped my service dog, ultimately having had him burned to death by a former Mexican Dug Cartel member turned DEA informant.

When my laptop was hacked by the aforementioned Texan and her confederates who have harassed me she gave me a rebuilt desk top computer to keep. As a thank you for the June cover with Dr. Fauci and Judge Caprio she gave me 'an early Father's Day present - a used scratched Samsung watch tied to my cellphone. She went into my T-Mobile account and disabled it and now is demanding that I give her back both gifts.

As a favor to her I even helped clean and open her swimming pool and brought my caregiver with me to her home and he and I painted her pool deck.

The owner/publisher is in my opinion one of the most depraved man-hating lesbians I have ever encountered. I remained associated with her as a distraction to occupy my time but I am glad to have flushed her down the sewer.

Blogs post upwards as they grow; so in advance of this post you will see screen grabs of text messages sent from the owner/publisher, revealing her true character.
