Timothy supporters misquote Melanie’s statement as “she never said no” instead of quoting her full statement which was “she never said no to what we chose to do together.”
“She never said no to what we chose to do together” is a direct response to Timothy's statement:

Because the quote “I would never be intimate with someone without their absolute consent” doesn’t help them to push the narrative of Melanie being a self-admitted rapist. Melanie stated that they engaged in consensual sex but never stated a specific date. Put a pin on that

This is supposed to be a never seen before photo but you can find a re-upload of the image from Feb. 2017. And that’s because Timothy liked to take Snapchat stories when she used to spend time with Melanie.

The game Melanie and Timothy were playing is called “Valentine’s Day Lover’s Kit.” The description of the game reads: “One wears the blindfold while the other rolls the dice to reveal the action of love.” The game was not mentioned / referenced in Timothy's original letter

Some people speculate that the part in Timothy’s statement where Melanie kept asking for permission to touch Timothy’s body parts such as her arms happened while they were playing the Lover’s Kit game. This paragraph is just an observation and should not be taken as a fact

There is not a solid confirmation who had the idea of buying and playing the game, since on the Newsweek article Timothy said it was Melanie’s idea while on another interview Timothy said it was her own idea.

In Timothy's original letter she stated that the incident happened in bed, but in the article she stated that the incident happened while playing the game. Fans have also made photo comparisons between the picture taken and Timothy’s camera roll which I will discuss later

Melanie was on tour at the time. The tour ended on June 21, 2015 but she stayed in New York for a couple of days because she was born in NYC and probably visited some relatives after the tour ended. Here's a video of Melanie performing at The Webster Hall on June 21, 2015

Melanie couldn’t had stayed at a sleepover in Los Angeles, California on June, 25 2015 because she was in New York on the exact same day. Remember that Timothy said that the sleepover lasted for 2 consecutive days which is impossible
“I said no. For TWO NIGHTS STRAIGHT.”

Also keep in mind that Timothy gave the dates of June 24th and June 25th the day after Melanie released her first statement, which means that Melanie did not acknowledge Timothy’s dates as the correct dates in which the sleepover took place.

Timothy and Melanie had several sleepovers over 2015 and Melanie couldn’t have possibly known which sleepover Timothy was referring to because Timothy combined three different sleepovers and tried to present it all of them as one sleepover.

To end this section, when Timothy was asked during an interview about Melanie’s hair color during the sleepover, she gave a contradictory response. Most likely because people can have a better understanding of the timeline by knowing Melanie's hair color

When asked about the first time she smoked weed Melanie answered with the following: “I was with my friend in her boyfriend’s room and she had like a bong in his room. And I was like "I don't know." And I just smoked weed. I just tried it and I never had tried it before.”

Fans believe that Timothy was the friend Melanie was referring to during the interview because of these old Vine videos. Timothy was also wearing the Mickey hat she wore when she went to Disney Land with Melanie. This is just an observation and shouldn't be taken as a fact

Regardless if Timothy was the one who introduced Melanie into smoking weed or not, smoking weed was a common activity they did together so it’s unlikely Timothy was pressured into smoking. In the article Timothy states that she and Melanie used to smoke all day during tour

People also argue that Timothy couldn't had been pressured into smoking weed during the sleepover because Timothy comes from Oregon, a state where the residents are more receptive of people smoking weed compared to the state of New York where Melanie was born but I digress

The reason why Timothy lied about stop being friends with Melanie in 2016 was not because of trauma, but because by telling people she stopped being friends with Melanie for years and distancing herself from Melanie she attempted to make her statements seem more believable

When presenting evidence in any case it's vital to decide how important / believable the evidence is. The more relevant / valuable your evidence is, it will have more influence on the people you want to convince. If your evidence has no weight then people can't rely on it

Misconception #18: “Cry Babies / Earthlings are the ones who keep bringing up the accusations. Timothy wants to be left alone.”
Timothy has stated how she wants to be left alone. Yet every time Melanie has a project Timothy fusses over to sabotage it.

Trigger warning: Suicide
Despite calling herself a mental health advocate Timothy Heller has no problem when people tell Cry Babies / Earthlings they should kill themselves for supporting Melanie Martinez.

In June, 2020 when "Play Date" went viral Melanie had originally planned do make a "Play Date Remix" with 100 Gecs. Then Timothy followed the band members on IG and contacted them to cancel the collaboration

Unless you really want be to believe that Timothy coincidentally followed 100 Gecs hours before they were set to release a collaboration with Melanie and the project just got cancelled without any explanation

On Oct of 2020 Timothy’s private IG page @/brainynoworky got leaked. The three dots from the IG posts are shown vertically instead of horizontally meaning the photos were taken using a Samsung Galaxy product

Timothy supporters like to link this article to remind everyone that Melanie has sexual abuse accusations. But what they always fail to mention is that this article was made by Timothy and Maddie themselves.

The article is completely biased and they use the “she never said no” argument we debunked earlier. The article was also published the same week that Melanie’s K-12 debuted at #3 on Billboard. I wonder why.

In 2019, Timothy convinced her friend Edwin Costa to make a YouTube series regarding the allegations in order to make Melanie look guilty. The plan backfired, since most of the comments are people calling them out for omitting evidence.

Earlier in 2023 Timothy personally thanked a YouTuber / Internet troll for speaking out against Melanie. They made light about the topic which consisted of them making rape jokes throughout their posts and only pretended to care about Timothy once she reached out to them

I cannot for the life of me think of another example aside from this one where an alleged survivor goes out of their way to personally thank someone who made jokes about their alleged rape and openly jokes / compares people to serial rapists

It’s hard for me to believe that this person cares about sexual assault survivors when they use tags such as “funny” and “comedy” regarding this topic. Remember that the tags on YouTube are manually chosen by the creator and are not automatically marked out by the program

And most recently, an account called @/heardsstan brought up the allegations again right before the release of Melanie's third studio album PORTALS. The account then got suspended for spam and bot activity.

The group of people behind these bot accounts have always hated Melanie since the beginning. You can find tweets from them back to 2016 attacking Melanie, a complete year before the accusations surfaced.

The context of these conversations has become lost over time but this argument is just to show you that these people have known each other and communicated with each other for years.

These people never cared about Timothy Heller. They never did. They only used this situation to ruin Melanie Martinez’s career and image, just like they have been doing for the last seven years.

Timothy will never admit that she lied, but we don’t need an admission of guilt to know that she is a liar. When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time. People know themselves much better than you do. Stop expecting people to be something they aren't

Conclusion:
This thread was entirely made by myself. I want to repeat the point I said earlier in the beginning of this thread: Please do not send any hate to Melanie Martinez, Timothy Heller or anyone else mentioned in this thread.
Thank you for your time and patience
