However, in purported audio <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/the-extraordinary-smear-of-rob-porter\">obtained<\/a> by the Daily Wire from 2018, Willoughby said her allegations were \u201cnot about our f-cking mariage\u201d and were meant to resonate with \u201cpeople who have been in abusive relationships.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s horrible to be demonized in the media with falsehoods,\u201d Porter told the Daily Caller News Foundation. \u201cI\u2019m grateful people are now finally learning more of the reality and encourage everyone to read the whole story. I hope it serves as yet another reminder that agenda-driven, politicized stories disfigure the truth and that mob justice can be profoundly unjust.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Willoughby notably told the Daily Mail that Porter once pulled her nude out of the shower by her shoulders and yelled at her. Nevertheless, she told Porter in 2018, \u201cI absolutely take issue with anyone who says you\u2019re an abuser,\u201d according to the Daily Wire.<\/p>\n<div id=\"rev-more-content\">\n<p>Willoughby would also tell people Porter\u2019s portrayal in media as an abuser\u00a0 \u201cis not what or who he is\u201d and that the allegations were \u201csensationalized,\u201d according to the Daily Wire. She also told Porter that she in fact was the one who abused him, according to the outlet.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAbsolutely! I pushed you down the stairs in a fit of rage,\u201d she allegedly told Porter in one conversation, describing other instances in which she had \u201cbeen violent\u201d with him and \u201cabusive,\u201d the Daily Wire reported.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_7501892\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7501892\" class=\"wp-image-7501892 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/GettyImages-915720302-scaled-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/GettyImages-915720302-scaled-1.jpeg 2560w, https:\/\/cdn01.dailycaller.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/GettyImages-915720302-163x120.jpeg 163w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/GettyImages-915720302-620x455-1.jpeg 620w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/GettyImages-915720302-768x564-1.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/GettyImages-915720302-1536x1127-1.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/GettyImages-915720302-2048x1503-1.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/cdn01.dailycaller.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/GettyImages-915720302-70x52.jpeg 70w\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-7501892\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">(Photo by Mark Wilson\/Getty Images)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Willoughby charges up to $10,000 per appearance for \u201ckeynotes\u201d and \u201cworkshops,\u201d according to an email obtained by the DCNF.
