Mark Stephens: When the Victim Narrative is the Whole Identity
July 14, 2025
Only the Animals: Mark’s Flood of Misunderstanding
July 14, 2025Here we go again ā Markās latest āKingdom Dreamā post promises transformation, authenticity, and a debt-free Tuscan-style sanctuary, funded by⦠what exactly? Letās unpack this fantasy.
š¹ First, about that house:
Mark calls it his āHGTV-worthy home,ā but letās set the record straight:
- The home was Toriās property before they even married.
- Mark moved into it when he was financially destitute ā a man unable (or unwilling) to pay even partial child support⦠until the Prosecuting Attorney finally threatened jail time if he missed another payment.
- And letās not forget the most sinister chapter: this is the very home he and Tori burned to the ground and blamed the boys for starting ā an event that conveniently wiped out a property while IRS debt and child support arrears loomed.
Yet here he is on Facebook claiming this house is his and his alone, forgetting that in Washington State, community property laws would entitle Tori to at least half of any proceeds.
Even if what he said was true ā and letās be honest, thatās a generous assumption ā the law doesnāt care about his narrative. Washington cares about shared assets, not Markās selective storytelling.
His āKingdom Dreamā is literally being built on a house that was never fully his to begin with.
š¹ Second, about Markās financial picture:
Markās own posts repeatedly complain that he ācanāt workā because of supposed disability or mental health challenges ā yet somehow weāre to believe he can sell this house and use the proceeds to fund a brand-new debt-free āKingdomā project?
This is a man who claims he canāt even afford travel expenses to attend his court-ordered domestic violence and mental health evaluations⦠but now heās ready to close a real estate deal and build a Tuscan chapel?
š¹ Third, the hypocrisy in plain sight:
Mark routinely weaponizes faith language while showing none of the humility or repentance that would accompany genuine transformation.
His hashtags scream about āreceiptsā and ādocumentation,ā but history tells us that his documentation always seems to omit inconvenient facts like unpaid support, multiple court judgments, and the dozens of excuses heās given for failing to comply with court orders.
š The uncomfortable truth:
What Mark really means by āKingdom Dreamā is a dream of control, optics, and erasure of the actual record.
This isnāt a ministry; itās a stage. Itās an Instagram rebrand disguised as redemption. And beneath the staged photos and hashtags is a history of:
- Chaos at childrenās sporting eventsRob_Peters_Mark_Stephenā¦
- Resistance and disruption during his childās life-threatening medical crisisDr. Rao
- Court evasion
- Blaming others ā even his own children ā for messes he himself created.
š The irony?
He burned down the very house he now claims as his financial launchpad for rebirth ā blaming his children in the process ā and expects applause for a reinvention that no one asked for.
