Now back to those text messages: We previously noted that it was unclear how Silva accessed the texts without a court order and that the images of texts attached to the suit appeared to be photos, not screenshots, with a person’s thumb visible in at least seven of them. The report states Silva also told the cops “that he and his wife are going through a divorce and was upset that she did not at least have this conversation with him.” Well, well, well. He admitted to going through her purse again the following day, where he found a pill inscribed with the letters “ MF.” He googled it and learned it was the abortion drug mifepristone. Silva also told the officer he’d gone through his wife’s phone and saw texts of her discussing abortion pills.

The outlet obtained a police report from July 18, 2022, in which an officer writes that Silva walked into a station and told an officer that said he’d rummaged through his wife’s purse a few days earlier and found a sticky note with the number for an abortion clinic. Now, reporting from NPR strongly suggests that Silva knew back in July that his ex was pregnant and pursuing abortion.

(Mind you, Silva only filed this suit after the couple’s divorce had been finalized weeks earlier in February the ex-wife filed for divorce in May 2022.) The suit alleges that a third woman delivered the pills to Silva’s ex, and photos of text messages suggest that she self-managed the abortion at home. Silva claimed that his ex-wife learned she was pregnant in July after Texas’ total abortion ban had taken effect and that she discussed how to get abortion pills with two friends over text. 36 Gifts for Your Friend Who Won't Shut Up About AstrologyĪ Hot Girl's Guide to Having Bunions in Your 20sĪmber Heard’s Appeal Lists 16 Ways the Court Screwed Her Over in Johnny Depp Defamation Case
