For those unfamiliar with the term DARVO—Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender—it’s a manipulative tactic used by abusers to evade accountability. It’s the same old gaslighting routine, and right now, Dargan Watts is playing it to the hilt as his trial looms next month.
The Ever-Changing Story of Watts’ “Witnesses”
Let’s rewind just three weeks ago—under oath, Watts claimed he had no witnesses. Zero. Not a single person to vouch for him. And then, as if by magic, three days later, he suddenly had five or six. Now, today, that number has somehow shrunk to two or three. Convenient, right?
But here’s the kicker: not one of these alleged witnesses has been disclosed. With trial around the corner, Watts and his team are scrambling, trying to manufacture credibility out of thin air.
This reeks of desperation. If he actually had witnesses who could clear his name, why did it take multiple contradictory statements under oath to even mention them? And why are their identities still being withheld?
A Pattern of Lies and Manipulation
This kind of behavior isn’t new. It’s a hallmark of guilty men—constantly shifting the narrative, stalling, throwing whatever they can at the wall to see what sticks. Watts isn’t presenting a defense; he’s throwing a tantrum in slow motion, hoping no one notices the inconsistencies stacking up around him.
The real strategy here? Delay. Confuse. Distract. Anything to avoid taking responsibility. Anything to exhaust and frustrate survivors into submission.
But he’s running out of time.
The Power of Truth vs. The Games of a Rapist
Here’s what Watts and his enablers don’t understand: Lies fall apart under pressure. His panicked backpedaling isn’t just sloppy—it’s evidence of a guilty conscience. Truth doesn’t need revision. It doesn’t need last-minute scrambling.
While Watts is busy contradicting himself and manufacturing excuses, survivors and advocates remain laser-focused on the facts. No amount of witness fabrication or legal maneuvering will erase the truth of what he has done.
Watts can play all the DARVO games he wants. But in the end? Truth speaks louder than his lies. And it’s speaking volumes.
