The article is from 2021. I haven't been following the case, but I know Martha has said on social media that a lot of media reports, more recent ones, have been inaccurate in their reporting on the matter. This is one area I'm unfamiliar with since I haven't followed the overall case.

Yep, I haven’t seen much detail about the case, but someone posted that article on Twitter today and I didn’t realize those charges are a few years old now, but the actual trial is happening soon it seems.

I also didn’t realize Martha had been making the rounds on far-right trash media outlets in an attempt to clear her husband’s name either.

I was also a little put off by Martha's appearance on NewsMax (besides being crazy-partisan, they are so unprofessional they couldn't even spell her last name correctly.)  But I imagine that NewsMax may have been the only media outlet that was willing to have her on (or maybe she had some sort of contact over there?). While it's a big news story to ATWT fans, the rest of the world may not be interested in what seems like a complicated case.  And -- again -- while past soap actors are important to us, the rest of the world may no longer even remember who she is.  However, given the frightening situation which has happened to her husband/family, I'm willing to give her a pass on this appearance.  Everything I've seen from Martha over the years indicates that she is loving, inclusive and open-minded.

I've followed it somewhat, but basically to me - to boil it down.  They're prosecuting him for kind of - not following the money that was paying him.  He was hired to do a job as a private investigator.  But someone paid someone who paid someone who paid him for doing a job.  And it went back to some Chinese money for surveillance that was detrimental to national security.  The accusation is something like that.  But, to me, you're hired to do a job and only care if you get paid.  He didn't break any laws in doing whatever he did - the things you do as a Private Investigator.  So it's really a crappy situation.  There are a ton of ins-outs and details but - it is something like the money paying him was dirty, and how would you even know?  

My guess - probably a Newsmax appearance because - that crowd will really warm up and take to 'overreach' by government types of topics and conspiracy theories.

Well, in doing more digging, she also seems to have aligned herself with a right-wing owned non-profit (Pipe Hitter Foundation) who claims their purpose is to defend rights of people in uniform. That could explain why she’s appeared in media outlets like Newsmax. Also, in looking at the “politicians” she follows on Instagram, it seems like they line up with her own political beliefs, but that’s neither here nor there I guess and doesn’t seem like she’s been very public with her support for the political ideology she may be supporting in her private life. 

Pipe Hitter Foundation posted this video from Martha today on Instagram and asked for $20K more of donations to help fight the case…

    • I preferred the Devil spawn delivery of the previous Rachel. She felt like the perfect child of Kristen DiMera and all the dysfunction she’s been through. The new actress is just a sweet girl.
    • I just read a new post where PersonB was quoting personA and I wanted to comment on the post so I started to quote ... with  I myself as the PersonC. I tried to quote what PersonB quoted from PersonA.  It should have been attributed to PersonA, but before submitting the post, I checked to see how it would display, and it automatically misatributed PersonA's words to PersonB.  So I didn't click to submit the post. So yes this is an ongoing glitch. I will need to take the time to go back and find the original post from PersonA to quote that.

    • I think the story in theory is good.  I don't believe Brook Lynn, Lois, and Dante are the right characters for this.  It becomes wild retcon on top of wild retcon. We watched AL's Brook Lynn talk about losing her virginity to Diego.  Dante and BLQ had multiple conversations about them always being friends.  Dante told Lulu nothing ever happened between him and Brook Lynn.  We saw Cody and Brook Lynn meet on the show.  There was no indication they knew one another previously.  Brook Lynn faked an entire pregnancy for Maxie and wasn't triggered at all by her previous pregnancy?  Brook Lynn never once questioned Gio's existence and her family's obsessiveness over him?  I mean, that fact was added like a month ago, but c'mon, Brook Lynn's not that dumb. Am I enjoying the fallout of this story? Yes, but you practically have to throw out everything you knew about Lois, BLQ, and Dante to make it work and that is annoying to me. With Setton in the role we've already lost Brook Lynn's unique style, edge and her singing talent.  Brook Lynn's basically become an entirely different character and not in a good way.
    • The recast really tanked the character.  I was team Sophia when Madelyn Kientz played her.  I liked her more than Holly.  Now Sophia just walks around on the verge of tears looking meek and scared.  I think now that the show has recast and aged Ari, Sophia is probably on her way out.
