Tig Notaro and Stef Willen's quaint little false accusation problems didn't stop Nick Kroll from scoring both - HIGHLY suspicious book deals for NON FICTION

Suhh dramatic and scary things are always happening to these two twisted ladies.  I only knew Willen for 3 months but in that short time... I learned that the roommates(who seemed like lovely girls - Guylene and Michelle) were constantly involved in violent fights with each other. Willen told me that Guylene might seem nice but was actually a virulent racist and antisemite when I wasn't around. And, since know I don't believe one word of that was true... What the hell kind of lies was she telling them about me? I liked them. They liked me. But a month in Willen seemed pleased to tell me that they suddenly disliked me and didn't want me around... At that point I was looking at them as two freaks and didn't care cause Willen kept turning them into freaks with her tales of their violence, antisemitism etc. 

Four months into knowing psychopath, Willen, but not knowing yet she was a pychopath - I got this email. The email struck me as odd, back then, only because she had told me that she had not spoken to Tig Notaro in years and it had ended on bad terms... So out of nowhere she's in a bar with her. As someone who has never felt jealousy this did not affect me. And, had I been a jealous type I would not be jealous of some situation where I was told that Notaro had rejected her years ago and they hadn't spoken since... But that aside, I assumed Stef Willen had a dramatic night out. Now considering what  know of both of them.... OMG what fucking nutcases.

From an interview she (notaro) just did- check to see if this really happened
My joke is- well, then just call the doll Becky. Some people got up during the set and walked out. I asked them, ‘Where are you headed?’ and they said ‘Maybe you’ll think twice before you make fun of people.’ One of the woman pointed at somebody she was with and was like, ‘He just got over cancer...’ I was so baffled, so confused. Everybody was baffled! I don’t know where they read in that I was saying, ‘Haha you have cancer.’ Nowhere. I don’t know where it came about. So, they left and started yelling with the owner of the bar, it turned into a brawl and the cops came. I was still on stage this whole time. A fist fight broke out... This is all during my set. I had to stay focused and talk to audience while people were pinning each other down and screaming. And one of the guys that left, the police broke his leg while they were holding him down.”
from martha kelly's blog

 Portland threw us a curveball which we caught and re-threw into a jewelry store, breaking the window and setting off the alarm system. When the cops came we pleaded not guilty by reason of Steve's beard, and as per usual they let us walk.
 I tried to rush Tig and Steve out right after the Super 7 show. Tig's response to being rushed goes something like "Oh, uh-uh, no. I won't be talked to like that" and then she walks away. I got mad at her and we had our first and so far only fight while Steve obliviously fingered Japanese toys at the back of the store. I thought we might not speak to each other for hours but our fight ended as abruptly as it started when Tig sassed a panhandler outside the store. She countered his long and winding road of a story with "Hold on a minute sir, I've got a story for YOU." Then she told him about her dad the security guard who lives in a basement in Baltimore. Tour Number Two, Update Number One
Dear Crackpot Blog,
First stop: Ontario, CA. We left an hour late due to a combination of me being an hour late and no one having the balls to leave without me. To make up on time, Tig almost rear-ended a guy. I screamed, Tig objected, Steve overruled the objection. Sidetrack: on the first tour, people not liking other people's driving was a big issue. The people who didn't like my driving were against hearing "whoa-oh!" every time we took a corner over 30 mph. The people who didn't like Tig's driving were disturbed by her combination of speeding and saying things like "I'm not afraid of dying" and "Nothing really matters anyway."



from some other invertiew
Tig Well, we almost got our asses kicked last night. We stayed at this guy’s house who literally went crazy while we were staying there and almost murdered us, so it’s not really as fun as it sounds.
Martha I didn’t stay there. That’s probably why I think it’s fun.
Tig Yeah.

Nov 2 2008 5:03 AM

great workin' with ya tig - thanks again, nice riff with "sparkles


Her blogs etc.- admissions of false allegations, memory problems, morality problems ect.
False Allegations.
in unrelated news, my plan to start a band fell apart. turns out our lead guitarist was on smack. i'm not even really sure what "smack" is exactly, but i know that she was on it because people said things like, "i literally think she's on smack." i still hear from our night ranger-style singer/drummer laura silverman daily accusing me of firing her and demanding to be back in the band.

.. git!martha and i worked really hard on the crackpot tour. this means that basically she was in a constant state of panic but signed all of her emails to me with "can't wait. this is gonna be great." lied until it was true

its just a rumor, so you best start gettin excited. a few years back, i stopped cycling. not intentionally, it just happened. maybe you never even knew i cycled at all. if that's the case, then boy do you have some catching up to do. anyway, i would do local rides and long distance rides. other countries, state to state, down to the beach and back or just to the store to buy a new purse or a fun shade of lipstick. i have been missing cycling so much. there is a great deal of focus in cycling. every monday and friday morning, before my friend stef goes to work (around the corner from my house), we take walks around town or down by the ocean together and discuss all things. i'd say they are interesting conversations, but i can't help but dread the thought of ever having to read a transcript of our talks.

was about me going back to my hometown in mississippi after the hurricane and living w/my family in the destruction, with day to day old family issues causing flashbacks from my past

i'll see what i can remember. i have a horrible memory and tend to get easily distracted. it's not always the best thing to take walks down memory lane w/me. it's not horrible, it's just not always great. chances are, you don't even look remotely familiar to me and your name does not ring any name bells. this includes immediate family members too. here we go w/memory lane 2 or so weeks back. my friend tommy came into town and stayed with me for several days.

Morality problems

it's a lovely time, really. the dvd "operation googsie" will be for sale one day w/all money going to charity OR right up my nose. i haven't decided yet..... in other hurricane news, a little over a year ago, hbo had approached me to pitch/develop a show with them. the show i worked on
.kyle was telling me last night that they are as lucky to have me as i am to have them. he's a

Kyles a nice friend. you need people around you that are THAT comfortable with lying right to your face

Manipulates Martha- last on list and only “likes her.” Etc.
it was written by my good friends tom sharpe (i love you tom) and martha kelly (i like you martha).

you'll also see chris fairbanks, scott aukerman, bj porter, ruby wendell, joe wagner, martha

Prone exaggeration and no regard for truth

kyle and i are still writing like crazy. crazy being like 2 or 3 times a week. it usually takes us a good 2 hours before we start actually writing because we like to gossip about ourselves to one another and then we usually eat a nice healthy raw meal. this makes me happy and it makes him complain about starving and then he usually heats up a pizza at 3am and complains about eating a pizza at 3am and how i should have stopped him. we have about 10 sketches/shorts we are hoping to get filmed in the months to come. "months to come" could mean whatever you want it to. i want it to mean "soon." i'm leaving for new york in a couple of days. i'm really excited about hanging out w/my nyc folk. i have very little time and it will no doubt be spent w/kevin williams, dave hill and nick kroll. it's hard going to different cities all the time because i know so many people. memory lane-type stuff comes up. i'm not always good at it knew that

Weekend of My “rage”—this is the weekend in the police report where I became “enraged” – this is the invented motive but I have the e-mails.

well too late to call you now...its 3:30 am. went with tig to do a set
for 70 christians in orange county. very interesting. she thought
she'd bomb, but she did great. then we hit the normandie
room and met
some really gross lesbian couple that told  us they were lawyers
within 5 seconds of meeting us. they were disgusting, they were eating
burritos there and one of them kept belching these burrito/salsa
burps. i guess it was her contribute to cinco de mayo.

gross lesbians belching. We just have different backgrounds or something and
we are not compatible as friends etc. why are you acting so upset? I'm
completely dumbfounded by your hostility. It is totally not fun anymore for
me and I'm trying to end it nicely.

you do too have something to say about gross lesbians belching. you
always do. i tell you about gross lesbians all the time and you
comment on them. you know  you have drastically curtailed your
messages to me in the last couple days, and its weird that it
coincides witht the time i hung out with tig for two days straight.
this is very similar to when you wouldnt admit what going to the
"bathroom" meant when we were at teh coach and horses, and i am sick
of drawing the truth out of you because you cant be big enough to
admit anything. im not hostile, im annoyed.  you are almost laughable:
"its not fun for me anymore, and im trying to end it nicely." whats
not fun? we didnt even have a fight. i noticed you were being weird
and short so i called you on it. what happened in those two days that
made it so unfun for you.? if i had to guess what you are doing with
that  last sentence,  "It is totally not fun anymore for me and I'm
trying to end it nicely. " id guess you are trying to gain some kind
of control so you dont feel like a complete patsy, as you say.

and just so you know, i am fine with ending things, i just wish that
you would own up to your shit and be honest, but then again, that
would make me attracted to you, so maybe its best you keep being
phony.
