File:2018-07-Beck-Admits-Defending-Onision-And-Refusing-To-Stop-Pursuing-Friendship.jpg

Partial screenshot of a long private message attributed to Beck during the deterioration of her friendship with Onision in July 2018.

Beck states that one negative remark about Onision had been taken out of context and emphasizes that she had defended him privately far more often than she had criticized him. She describes losing friends, writing songs, spending hours making gifts, and stopping smoking after beginning contact with Onision.

Beck apologizes for speaking without thinking, states that she does not stand by everything she had done, and stresses that she valued Onision’s friendship. She closes by telling him that she would continue trying until he was “completely done” with her.

The message documents intense personal investment, an attempt to regain Onision’s approval, and Beck’s acknowledgment that Onision—not Beck—was withdrawing from the friendship. This context was materially relevant when Beck later appeared before Chris Hansen as a supposedly corroborating witness against Onision.
