Vanessa Cobbs Sends A Message

Earlier today, Vanessa made her first Instagram post since mid-April. Cobbs drew a purple heart on her hand and tagged a purple heart emoji in the post. Purple is the color used to stand up against domestic violence. According to Rose M. Garrity, president of the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence (NCADV): “Battered women chose purple as an evolution of the lavender from decades past. It’s seen as a color of royalty and is already associated with females anyway. As the battered women’s movement grew, we designated October as DV awareness month where we shine a purple light to show support of DV survivors.”

The judge dropped the restraining order and charges against Dimitri. There was not enough burden of proof on Christeline’s side to uphold it. She alleged he liked to choke her when they were intimate. Christeline claimed it would become violent and he would persist if she resisted. However, Dimitri showed texts from Chrissy saying she liked it. Dimitri has also posted he has had some struggles with mental health from a rough upbringing.

A lot is going on in this whole situation but Vanessa’s post cannot be ignored. Many started to question if domestic abuse could be why Cobbs left in the first place. Whatever the reason, it is nice to see her coming out in support of Christeline. In support of all women who are in abusive situations and are afraid to speak up. What do you think of Vanessa’s post? Do you think she is sending a message about why she left or in support of Christeline? Do not miss Seeking Sister Wife Mondays on TLC and discovery+.
