“Mark’s Ongoing DARVO Roadshow: A Traveling Circus of Blame”

Mark Anthony Stephens has once again fired up the smoke machine, set up the tent, and is holding court for his dwindling audience — the DARVO Roadshow is back on tour.

His latest act?
A Facebook post featuring a video titled “This Is How A Narcissist Apologizes”, complete with Mark’s usual self-satisfied commentary:

“Wow to the T… I can’t make this stuff up this has to be a disease.”

Oh, but Mark… you can make this stuff up — and you usually do.

Here’s the kicker:
This is the same Mark who, not that long ago, claimed narcissism was a “made-up name” — a psychological fiction designed to “demonize” men & wemon (that’s how Mark likes to spell women) like him.
Yet here he is now, suddenly an expert on it, diagnosing others (likely Tori this time) by posting a video outlining narcissistic behaviors… which he personally models to perfection.

So while Mark thinks he’s diagnosing someone else, what he’s really doing is narrating his own greatest hits album — without realizing he’s both the singer and the subject.


Act 1: “They create the problem.”

Mark is not merely a dabbler in problem creation — he’s prolific.

Let’s review the record:

  • Court-ordered Domestic Violence (DV) and Mental Health assessments ignored for over 18 months.
  • More than $90,000 in unpaid child support and judgment debt while funding multiple vacations (Carmel, Yosemite, Santa Cruz, Pismo Beach, Bass Lake) in just the past two months.
  • A documented history of abuse, DV actions, and no less than four separate No Contact / Restraining Orders issued against him: two by marital partners and two involving children.
  • A long-standing pattern of control, stalking, and manipulation resulting in protective orders and supervised contact mandates (which he simply refuses to complete).

Mark doesn’t just create problems — he mass-produces them and then livestreams the aftermath while quoting scripture.


Act 2: “They blame you for the problem.”

Mark’s entire online platform is blame disguised as ministry.
It’s a tapestry of:

  • Passive-aggressive scripture memes,
  • Psalms nestled next to character assassinations,
  • Proverbs wielded like daggers,
  • Self-righteous ramblings blaming everyone but himself.

His targets shift by the week — Melissa, Tori, the courts, lawyers, therapists — but the one constant?
Blame.

He uses faith language not as a guide for his behavior but as a shield to deflect accountability.
In Mark’s world, even his children’s struggles are someone else’s fault.
The irony is glaring — but Mark seems blissfully unaware.


Act 3: “They refuse to communicate.”

Mark, preaching about others refusing to communicate, is laughable.
His actual record?

  • Only FOUR logins to Our Family Wizard since November 2023.
  • Not once — not one single time — has he asked how his children are doing.
  • Even when notified that Liam broke his arm, Mark didn’t even read the message.

Yet somehow, he manages to post daily on Facebook for an audience with zero parenting responsibilities.


Act 4: “They escalate until you react… and then call you the abuser.”

This is Mark’s signature move. Isn’t that exactly what is happening here?

What the audience may not know is that:

  • Both of Mark’s wives reached breaking points and asked him to leave after enduring years of documented abuse, manipulation, and neglect.
  • In response, Mark launched smear campaigns against them both, publicly and privately, calling them:
    • Jezebel
    • Crazy
    • Adulterous
    • Narcissistic
    • Unfaithful
    • Liars
    • Abusers
    • False prophets
    • Agents of Satan
    • “Emotionally unstable”
    • “Manipulative monsters”

This list goes on and on — escalating in volume and venom — all while Mark paints himself as a righteous victim.

The pattern is clear:
When held accountable, Mark doesn’t self-reflect — he escalates, blames, insults, and then performs victimhood for his online congregation.


“This has to be a disease.”

Indeed, Mark.
It’s called chronic projection, with a heavy dose of DARVO syndrome and scripture-wrapped self-delusion.


Encore: The accidental confession.

This video he shared isn’t a critique of someone else — it’s a mirror.
And somehow, Mark’s staring right at it but still believes it’s a window through which he can diagnose everyone else.


Closing commentary:

Mark’s DARVO Roadshow isn’t entertainment anymore — it’s a parody of itself.
Same tired act:

  • Manufacture chaos,
  • Blame others,
  • Stonewall communication,
  • Escalate and smear,
  • Cry victim.

The curtain may rise, but there’s no applause — just tired spectators, many of whom have left the theater.
