Aidan “Turtleboy” Kearney’s former girlfriend Lindsay Gaetani appeared on Kate Peter’s Masshole Troll Mafia broadcast on Sunday, May 5, 2024, offering insight into the relationship that ultimately resulted in Gaetani’s protection order against the diminutive YouTuber.
Gaetani met Kearney in a chance encounter last fall and the pair began dating as Kearney “love bombed” the single mom with constant affection. Kearney was still seeing other women at the time and told Gaetani that he had been separated from his wife for six years when the two began dating.
Cracks emerged as Gaetani’s “gut” told her something was wrong with Kearney, and she canceled one of their early dates because something felt “off.” She told Peter on Sunday night’s broadcast that she should have followed her gut feelings and stopped seeing the YouTuber.
Dating an “award winning journalist” often meant taking a back seat to his fans, according to Gaetani, as Kearney would often ignore her on dates to talk to fans and admirers that they’d encounter.
Things soon became darker, as she found out that Kearney had lied to her about leaving his wife, as he would scamper home before his wife found out he had been out. Kearney’s other romantic entanglements also were an issue during the relationship as a previous girlfriend was forced to apologize for a minor confrontation with Gaetani as she was “jealous” of Kearney’s feelings for her.
During their relationship, Kearney and Gaetani would see each other on Friday evenings, but he would rarely interact with her children. Either meeting Gaetani outside of her apartment when they’d go out, or come over when the children were asleep, leaving before they would awake.
According to Gaetani, Kearney’s sudden “extensive knowledge” that she was a “bad mother” only emerged after their breakup and the events in December of 2023 that saw Gaetani file domestic violence charges against Kearney. While those charges were dropped, Gaetani still has an active protection order against Kearney that expires next year.
Gaetani excused herself multiple times during the two-hour livestream on Sunday to check on her children. She was late arriving for the broadcast as she was putting her children to bed.
Confirming previous bombshell reports of the defense team funding Kearney’s involvement with the Karen Read defense, Gaetani claimed that YouTuber Microdots told her at a Halloween party in 2023 that he was being paid by defense attorney Alan Jackson to produce pro-Karen Read propaganda material.
She also claimed to have heard from Kearney’s attorney Tim Bradl of a similar arrangement with Kearney and the defense team. Kearney’s funding, while not stated by Gaetani on the broadcast, apparently including the gifting of a used Lexus from Read’s brother’s Lexus dealership.
Gaetani’s friendship with Peter reportedly started before the December 2023 incident with Kearney that resulted in charges against Kearney. The YouTuber was apparently enraged when he saw text messages between the two women on Gaetani’s phone and felt betrayed by their friendship.
Kearney has a protection order against Peter and has claimed he is fearful of his life over a threat made by Peter to “fight” him last year. The blogger turned “award winning journalist” ran counter programming to Peter’s broadcast Sunday night, featuring continued attacks on witnesses in the Karen Read murder trial.
