This, everyone, is the other guy that I feel the most sorry for in this universe. His name is Robert Baker and he's one of the coolest guys in the desert. He is also rumored to be Benjamin Katzenberg's boyfriend. I can tell you one thing about him, he's nice.
From what I can gather online he's working for a recovery home in the desert. He's also a graduate of The Ranch in Desert Hot Springs. I've known him for a long time and he and I have a lot of mutual friends, one of which is not Benjamin Katzenberg.
The reason I feel sorry for this guy is that Jeffrey Katzenberg absolutely does not think he is worthy of his son and as such, he's sought to keep Robert out of Benjamin's life now for almost a decade. Benjamin, the person that betrayed our team, is not worthy of him, not the other way around. I've seen Robert and I know he is a loving and caring person. He deserves to be set free from Benjamin to find a healthy relationship with someone that loves him more than Benjamin. I know that he isn't getting the kind of love and attention that he deserves from Benjamin's father or mother.
The one thing that he needs to know is how his boyfriend stepped in to ruin my relationship with Christopher Monti on purpose. He is rumored to be another victim of this crime and I really want to save him from Lori Lafond and the Katzenbergs. He may think that Benjamin is telling him the truth about everything, but he's being lied to. Someone out there should go out, find him and ask him out on a date. What you will find is one of the sweetest and most caring people around.
I remember how he would go and see Chuck Cheeld and Ray Robertson, from the Ranch ,as a friend. I always admired him for that. I think that anyone that can live through the terror that is Lori LaFond deserves to have someone in his life that is kind, responsible and loving. If you see him, ask him out on a date. You'll be happy you did.
If I could give this guy a piece of advice now that I've had to live with Jeffrey in my life now for 11 years...it would be to run! Run fast and run far! There is nobody in Benjamin's family that you need to know any more. Jeffrey is Hellbent against you and his son having a relationship no matter what Benjamin tells him. I would also add that I trusted his boyfriend Benjamin with my relationship with Christopher and he destroyed it. Jeffrey and Marilyn destroyed Christopher and did nothing but make his life more miserable than it ever was. I loved Christopher, but Benjamin and Martin ruined the entire relationship for Jeffrey.
Robert should hear the way Jeffrey talks about him. It isn't good. It's like he's some kind of desert kid that isn't fit to be with his son. The act is good when Robert is around, but behind mansion walls, Jeffrey does any and everything to keep them apart.
Here is a picture of Robert with his boyfriend now...aren't they just the cutest couple ever....?
The real person that Robert has to worry about isn't Benjamin, it's his evil step-monster Missy Pissy, best friend of Lori LaFond and the whole reason that Jeffrey has foresaken all the rest of the victims of this crime. Missy wanted to end Benjamin's relationship with Robert because, "He knows who Lori is and he could represent a problem." Missy then talked Jeffrey into keeping Benjamin and Robert apart, apparently long enough until he found someone else. Just like Christopher Monti. Jeffrey is known for controlling his children's lives and paying people to get rid of everyone that he doesn't approve of. I'm one of those people.
I'd be happy to tell Robert all about "Jessica" who is really Lori LaFond. This is the person that ruined your life on purpose...she'd love to do it again...and Jeffrey is going to let her. As I understand it, Robert was sexually assaulted by Brian and Lori LaFond and he reported it. If he did, he now has names to go with the assailants. I want him to know that I support his efforts in recovery and in life. Whatever I can do to help him, I will do. I'm a real friend, not some voice in his head.
