You think you're the man but youre not': Shocking audio of 'drugged up' heir 'beating his college girlfriend as his billionaire family announces they will SUE her for releasing photos of the abuse'
Melissa Gentz, 22, has shared audio from her alleged attack at the hands of Erick Bretz, 25, who she claims brutally beat her at his Tampa apartment
'You do not accept the man who has more dominance than you ... you think you're the man of the relationship. But you're not, you're a woman,' he screams
Gentz can be heard crying in the audio, which she released along with photos of the alleged bruising caused by her boyfriend of two months
That move prompted Bretz's billionaire family, who own a supermarket chain in Brazil, to say they will sue the college student
Bretz was arrested that night while sleeping at the apartment, and booked on charges of Domestic Battery by Strangulation and Tampering With a Witness
He has entered a not guilty plea and lawyers for the heir did not respond to multiple requests for comment

(82,849 posts)Meanwhile, the media convene a series of all-star panels to ponder the question of why women don't report their assaults right away. Republicans in Congress ruminate about legislation that would punish women for reporting assaults that don't result in a conviction beyond a reasonable doubt in a jury trial and that survives every conceivable appeal.
Okay, maybe that last sentence isn't 100% factual. Yet.

That being said, Brazil is on the cusp of electing Jair Bolsonaro, a right-wing extremist often referred to as the Tropical Trump.
So, I guess, any outrage is possible. Even smashing a woman's face.

(115 posts)but they do have money. As we say in the business, Anybody can sue anyone else for anything. If he knew she was taping, and there is video/audio of both of them, and she releases it, I dont see how it would not be thrown out of court. But we are in the legal twilight zone nowadays...

(29,341 posts)It might be legally correct to say the "bruising allegedly caused by her boyfriend". But there does not appear to be anything "alleged" about her bruises.

(17,984 posts)Simple statement of fact, but so difficult for the reporters to write it. We should start using the term "alleged" to describe reporters, lawyers, and politicians.

A STUDENT has shared photographs of the horrific injuries she endured after her millionaire lover allegedly battered her over a revealing Instagram snap.
Melissa Gentz, 22, an undergraduate student at the University of Southern Florida, had been dating Eric Bretz, 25, for three months before he allegedly beat her on September 23.
Sickening snaps show a large cut across her forehead, the left side of her face completely bloodied, and her bloodshot eyes after the alleged attack.
Melissa claims Bretz became irate after he saw a photo of her wearing a black spaghetti strap top with her hair tied up.
She told police he threw her to the floor, kicked her in the face and wrapped his legs around her throat to cut off her air supply, the Tampa Bay Times reported.
