Poor Quality. No substance
I’ve come at this whole situation with an open mind and still found myself astonished by the lack of awareness this presenter has.

Completely Unhinged
The host is mentally unwell. I hope he gets the help he needs.
But until then, Apple should not allow content that actively threatens physical harm against specific individuals.

Ummmmmmm
I would give it zero stars. But maybe 2. It doesn’t seem to have any 2 stars. I’ll be the first.
There is no truth here. I’m sure the truth is out there but this host wouldn’t know it if it walked up to him and introduced itself.

David McClam is unhinged
This series came up as a suggested listen. Its like a car crash. McClam seems to have a personal vendetta that he’s using this platform to unleash on. Who is LaDonna and why do we care if another podcast is exposing her ?

Terrible Presentation
The podcaster is not easy to listen to and the subject of the series all seems like he is carrying water for Ms. Humphrey. Each episode teases all of this “proof” but never delivers. Do not recommend.

Unhinged
This is a series that shows the presenter becoming progressively more unhinged with each episode.
Facts are promised; in another episode; maybe.
The presenter provides legal theories that are not even close to reality.
If you like to listen to a podcaster’s rant, this is the show for you.

Word salad psychobabble nonsense
No one is listening with “bated breath” dude. It is hilarious that he thinks he is ever making an actual point or showing evidence. Just nonsense justifications with no evidence. Another funny thing about this “dude” is that he is much more like a Trump follower than any of the sane people that see LaDonna for who she is, which is what he accuses them of. What a joke of a podcast. His favorite phrase “I got an email!” Oh and you will never win a law suit. You agreed to an interview! And clips from your show are fair use. Oh the JEALOUSY, oh the jealousy! Really enjoyed your rant about how you were in a band! LOL! Do not call yourself a journalist, you have a hobby that you aren’t even good at.

Conflict of Interest
Here is the problem with you being the truther for Ladonna. In episode 6 you say to Javier: “if you screw with Ladonna, you screw with me” and you are referring to your business being intertwined. So you are financially motivated which makes this pod a huge conflict of interest.
You sound like a Trump follower! You most certainly indicated that Ladonna is suicidal. Just like (and I’ll give you this one, Javier did imply he was contacting Ladonna about the Witt case. If you are so technical minded, don’t you realize texts/emails can be scheduled to sent at a certain time a day. So speaking to Ladonna at the same time, means nothing. Also with todays technology, voice memos can be altered. The only real proof is a FaceTime call. Look I think Alicia might be guilty of not being totally truthfully either but I believe a court judgement. When you start saying our judges are bias, you sound like a certain former President - Trump.

How are you not embarrassed?
You, Clarence Thomas. SAME! The worst part is that you probably don’t realize this is an insult.

Incoherent
Mr. McClam what you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone who has listened is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no stars, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Just a very angry little man
This show should be called listen bully: a podcast hosted by an angry and insane little boy.
Only people who are WRONG about something gets so defensive that they start threatening harm on others (including actual podcast hosts and the LGBTQ community). Why is Apple allowing this hate speech? Yikes this dude is unhinged and needs to be evaluated!

hateful and categorically false
this entire podcast is a hateful example of horrible podcasting. not only is it completely false, vitriolic and downright pathetic, but it’s also just plain hard to listen to. i’m surprised that the host can honestly tie shoes, let alone formulate cohesive thought. just because anyone can buy a microphone, doesn’t mean that you should.

Threatening violence
This podcast had an episode yanked for Terms of Seevice violations because he threatened violence against two specific people! This should lead to restraining orders at the least and other serious repercussions. Try living a good life supporting good people. It works and it’s easy.

No facts, self proclaimed expert
So many rants and craziness. If you have proof , bring it! It’s entertaining because of the stupidity. Poor grammar and there is no journalism in this podcast. Just nonsense.

Look at renner background
I’d look renner’s background before having him as a source. He’s gone after and harassed many victims and survivors.

I can’t get through an entire episode
I thought this would be an interesting podcast to hear both sides of the Ladonna Humphrey story but I can’t even make it through an entire episode. I start listening but then have to switch to something else because all this is is an angry and bitter man who likes to hear himself talk.

Proof
I have listened to both podcasts. I have read the documentation the show notes or their website with their proof. I’ve listed to hours of this podcast and there is no proof, even though David says he has proof. Please provide. I’ve done my own research and I’ve spoken to people who know this woman and knew nothing about the podcast. They can provide first hand experience that the accusations are vile. Let’s see your proof and evidence of innocence! There is a lot of talking in circles for HOURS.

If I could give a zero...
Ladonna is a farce. Tormentor. Sadistic. True sociopath. I don't even have time to spend on writing this.

Probably WORST aporcaste ever!!!!!
The lady doth protest too much, methinks. Here is Ladonna’s lapdog/mouthpiece trying to refute the preponderance of evidence against her. Just like his other podcasts. How much is she paying this guy?

Victim shamers try to make themselves victims
These 2 shamelessly attack a victim of SA when she can no longer manipulate her. These hypocrites are terrible people who live off pretending they care about vulnerable people while they dox and shame them. I grew up with BPD family members so Ladonna’s meanness and control over simps like Dave is par for the course. She belongs in prison. He needs to just go away.his credibility is shot.

Makes lots of claims but no proof given, host talks and talks and goes nowhere
I listened to all episodes of Pretend, visited the subreddit and got the feeling that there must be another side to the story. So I decided to give this show a listen and hear what LaDonna and David have to say for myself and make up my mind.
Well…I’m three episodes in, and I keep hearing that there will be proof that Pretend made up things or altered documents or edited interviews to fit Javier Leiva’s agenda…but when he does show unedited interviews, it really doesn’t show what he thinks it does. If you go to their website, they say to go to a LinkTree page to see the evidence. The LinkTree page takes you to to a page linking back to their website, their Spotify page, or their TikTok and Twitter accounts. Great job showing the evidence guys!
Another fascinating thing was his 10 minute monologue on “fair use”. It’s clear he doesn’t understand the concept of fair use. But it is entertaining to hear someone so uninformed yet so convinced he’s right.
In short, it’s a trainwreck. Entertaining for the sheer spectacle of listening to someone talk for an hour without saying anything of substance, with such conviction. I’ll always wonder why this guy simps for LaDonna so much.

Absolute garbage
There’s a reason why it’s got the worst rating you’ve probably ever seen on a podcast. This person defends an abuser and it’s disgusting. Don’t waste your time.
