    It's pretty damn obvious that this is him talking with a friend who is trying to hook him up with someone. I'm sure "Isabella who has kids and an NBA ex husband" is a trafficking victim lol. It's not even that weird a half joking conversation if it wasn't for the weird racism.

    Edit: I read the Daily Mail article (ew) and Lucy is apparently Lucy Dahl, who is Roald Dahl's daughter, and the person he is talking to is his niece (EDIT: Joe's niece, she is Hunter's cousin and she is the person in the picture). It's clearly not trafficking, why do people always extrapolate this wild stuff?

      This looks like a high end escort service. An ex-wife of an NBA player could absolutely end up in that circuit.

      They probably aren't kidnapped, but they're still being treated like commodities and totally dehumanized.

        It's not an escort service. Do you think an escort service would tell you "hmmm I'd give you x but she has kids and an NBA ex husband"? Like, they just employ someone who doesn't actually go with anyone? It's his drunk fail daughter niece and she's trying to hook him up with her friends, read the article.

        Needless to say Lucy Dahl is not a high end escort.

        EDIT: Cousin, not niece. She is the person in the picture.

            It makes more sense when you realize they're both failoffspring and probably drunk/drugged up all the time.

        It kinda sounds like people are actively looking for reasons to still be very mad about this lol yeah it's a crass private convo with his cousin, big deal. Kind of a far cry from trafficking. It's a stupid Daily Mail story where they literally went through the private messages of someone with a history of drug and alcohol abuse and his cousin who also has a history of drug and alcohol abuse to find the ones that sounded bad, who gives a shit.

        I mean the person is literally saying “give”, that implies a level of ownership.

        I would like to know what their body language said when they typed that. That's the real key here!

      Isn't Roald Dahl the guy who painted all those melting clocks and shit? My God, he's a sex trafficker too?
