To my family

It seems coincidental that you called me after I received the email about the will. Look, the ARL lawyers have my power of attorney. Your beef is with them, not me. Yes, that was Pippa's idea. She doesn't trust you, and we have good reasons. - Professionals were obviously working on it re: whakapapa. Like, did you miss the bit where my mentor was a famous genius? Or the sudden popularity of my cannabis film? I work in the media; I go to libraries for fun. That's where the connections are from. - All I want is the full quarter of the estate that I'm presumably entitled to. If I want to keep making movies and art, that money will help, and a decent chunk is earmarked for AMPP's 2026. campaign. That's $10-15,000. - I apologised for making that incorrect statement about George Riddell. The day after that initial volley of emails and hateful comments from my relatives, I typed 'I apologise for bringing an ancestor into disrepute' So, I admitted I was wrong, and I apologised. The other comments aren't related to those people. People dug up some papers. Maybe you missed that in your blind fury, so I'm clarifying that I'm not Chloe. - I'm a respectful person, but David's comments were pure hate speech. 'deserve to be locked up in an insane asylum for the rest of your life, Michael' That isn't a path to rational debate. I think after the estate is settled is the time to talk. So, I'll continue to avoid any Riddell family mentions, but I am going to continue discussing 19th Century history and the topics that are emerging as subjects for this potential film on Ruby King. If your anger is about the estate, direct those vibes towards my lawyers.
