Accused American Rapist Faked His Own Death in 2020 & Now Claims To Be Crippled Irishman

That thumbnail makes it look like a skit.

Did you watch it, R1? How the interviewer managed to keep her composure, I've NO idea.

Now there's an Armenian last name if I've ever seen one.

His Wikipedia entry discloses that he spent part of his youth in famed Providence loony bin Butler Hospital, and later became a figurehead for the incel community. He also seems to have hobnobbed with Mike Pence at some point.

He's like an SNL character come to life.

Interesting guy! What a way to avoid rape charges!

How would one find this Dateline episode? Anyone know?

[quote]DELUDED fugitive Nicholas Rossi gave a bizarre TV interview in the US where he flopped around to 'prove' he couldn't walk. In farcical scenes filmed last year, the sex beast also wailed as he whined about not being able to walk or breathe and how people are accusing him of lying and it all being "an act." In an interview with NBC Dateline, the whinging fiend flopped around as he tried to 'prove' he couldn't walk. The moaning beast said: "I can't breathe, I can't walk, people say that's an act, let me try and stand up."

The description under the video is just as hilarious, even for a tabloid. Sex beast?! I am CACKLING.

More from Wikipedia:

[quote]Alahverdian was hired as a legislative page in the Rhode Island House of Representatives at age 14. Alahverdian said that he informed lawmakers about his negative experience in DCYF care, but received no assistance. Brian G. Coogan, a Rhode Island Representative at the time, stated that he felt sorry for the teenage Alahverdian and took action to formally adopt him, but was warned off from doing so by Family Court Chief Judge Jeremiah S. Jeremiah. Coogan said that Jeremiah predicted that Alahverdian "will try to undermine you and turn your family upside-down."

Nicholas sounds like a Rhode Island hybrid of Nestor and beloved DL villainess George Santos!

^🤣 YES!

Wow, what in the hell

His fake obituary from 2020 is quite the elaborate piece of narrative—everything but the bloodhounds snapping at his rear end.

[quote]At the bedside were Mrs. Alahverdian, their two children, and extended family. His last words were “fear not and run toward the bliss of the sun.”

[quote]Mr. Alahverdian was a painter, author, amateur ornithologist, political scientist, sociologist, accomplished orator, and child welfare reform advocate.

What a Renaissance man we lost in him! Thank goodness he's actually still alive and gracing Scotland with his talents.

Forgot the link to the fake obit.

He also has an Academia.edu page where you can access his scholarly papers on Thomas Wolfe, Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, and the Utilitarianism of John Stuart Mill, as well as an autobiographical account of his own "ignoble inferno."

Great find, OP!

[quote]At the time of his passing, the room was filled with the sounds of the end credits for the 1997 film “Contact” by composer Alan Silvestri, a film and score which held special meaning for Mr. Alahverdian.

I just.....WHAT??!! 😂

What in the hell? This representative was warned by the chief judge of the family court that the boy was devil incarnate? How is this person even real?!

Here's reportage on all the twists and turns, with interviews and picturesque views of Providence, including the sexy "Independent Man" sculpture (at 3:40).

Judge Jeremiah S. Jeremiah?

[quote]How would one find this Dateline episode? Anyone know?

Peacock. If that episode is currently only available to paid subscribers, check back in a couple weeks and it might be unlocked by then. His interview played like a Little Britain sketch.

r18 Believe it or not, a real person.

Fuck your link to the corrupt Murdoch Sun, OP.

I think we can make an exception this one time.

Rape??? How could that fat bastard rape anyone?

Great find, R17!

He seems to have gained a bit of pudge, along with the fake Irish-English accent, since his bad-boy intellectual days.

He's like a Batman villain.

The Faker. He's got the requisite tragic childhood, mental illness, out of control ego, and, most importantly, some extremely clever disguises, and a moll.

Let it also be recorded for DL's delectation that his stepfather, David Rossi of Cranston, RI, is being identified in interviews as "an Engelbert Humperdinck impersonator."

Who was the wife who reported his death and arranged for the memorial service in early 2020 (as per interivews linked above)? Is she the same as the current English wife whom he supposedly married in 2020? I assume the children were fake.

In this day and age with DNA testing, I cannot believe that his identity is a question.

Yet, without a direct sample, there really isn't a way to confirm his identity since you could make the argument that he's merely related to the "dead" person and not the actual person if you used known blood relatives.

They can get him on his teeth and tattoos (even if he's had the latter removed there's some residuum).

The fingerprint match is good enough for me r29.

I’m surprised he hasn’t gone the trans or nonbinary route. Then Scotland could never get rid of him.

The wife sure manhandled him. She looks like she’s stifling a laugh in the beginning of the video.

This has to be a joke. His adopted father was an Englebert Humperdink impersonator?

Here one can find a bibliography of the (self?) published works of this versatile Harvard-educated scholar and political activist, including his collected shorter works (*Solemn Affairs: The Harvard Essays of Nicholas Alahverdian*). They are very reasonably priced, even for Kindle.

Given his insistence on the connection with Harvard (where he took continuing education courses but no degree), why did he get the Brown crest tattoo? Just out of hometown loyalty?

This article paints a more somber picture of the stepfather he left behind.

[quote]His days as an Engelbert Humperdinck impersonator, of Florida cruise ships, of $2,000-a-week cash payouts, of hanging out with Tom Jones and meeting Elvis, all the girls, the glamour — he’d left it all behind for a woman and her three children. That decision, he believed, ruined his life.

[quote]he’d left it all behind for a woman and her three children. That decision, he believed, ruined his life.

As well it would.

Is there a way around that paywall, R36? I'd love to read that article.

R28 I'm wondering the same this! It has to be, no? And have the kids been seen by anyone?

Wondering how many EP's are tripping over each other's dicks racing to submit pitches to Netflix/Hulu since this Dateline episode aired.

^^*same thing

R38, here's your way around the paywall.

PSA for those reading the FT article outside of Providence: Wickenden Pub is not on Ann Street; it's a popular dive on Wickenden (around where lots of students from Brown and RISD live), sort of across from the intersection with Ann Street.

[quote]Some nine years later, in early 2011 ... Nicholas was no longer a gawky teenager, but a stocky young man. He wore a dark navy suit and thick glasses.

He was definitely George Santos before George Santos.

R28 Yes, it seems it is actually the same woman—Miranda Knight. Seven days after their wedding, where he used the name Nicholas Brown, he (they) staged his death in America. So she was in on the whole thing. Is that something she could be prosecuted for (knowingly harboring a fugitive)?

The FT interview with the priest, Healey, who was asked to perform this con artist's funeral was especially funny:

[quote]“It was strange, because the woman sounded like Hyacinth Bucket,” Healey told me, referring to the British sitcom character.

[...]

[quote]Detectives from the Rhode Island State Police told Healey that they thought Nicholas had faked his death and was passing himself off as Louise. “They said he was using some sort of voice distorter over the phone,” Healey said. They told him Nicholas was a fugitive and that “he was wanted by Interpol, the federal government, [and] several other state authorities”.

His various marriages are touched on in the piece at R17 (8:10 and following), including the interview with Brian Coogan.

Did anyone see the play written about me?

"The game has just started. The game is afoot!"

^Am I alone in thinking that would make the most hilarious baby halloween costume?

Is that Ricky from Better Off Dead?

I guess we ran out of observations to make on this odd duck. Funny, because yesterday morning his bizarreness seemed inexhaustible.

One of my favorite details is he claimed he was unwittingly tattooed while in the hospital in a coma. His teeth are pretty distinctively jacked up, hence the oxygen mask, unless he had them fixed. I did see a later interview where he was in short sleeves with no tattoos. They were either covered by makeup or he had them removed, which is an expensive and time consuming process. I’d assume he’s living off the wife’s money. Either she’s a fool or is in on the whole thing, for whatever reason.

I used to work in a hospital, R53, and FYI we had no tattoo equipment in stock.

What kind of shit hospital doesn't have a tattoo parlor r54?

Medical insurance doesn't pay for tattoos, R55, and a modern hospital doesn't do shit unless some payor approves it in advance!

So where the hell does he come up with a whopper like that. That is the dumbest lie I've heard this year.

This will make a great movie.

Is this guy a hero to the Incels yet?

There's nothing they like better, than a psycho who gets away with being a psycho!

The game is afoot!

His argument was that someone in the pay of Utah law enforcement secretly tattooed him while he was comatose in order to make him a dead ringer for the (deceased) Nicholas Alahverdian. They also allegedly fingerprinted him and spirited said fingerprints back to the US to be added to Nicholas Alahverdian's police file.

R58, Wikipedia has the answer: "After Alahverdian failed to overturn his sex offender conviction, 'he became a men's rights figurehead for radicalized people' who claim they are unable to get romantic or sexual partners despite desiring them, often referred to as incels."

He was an incel/MRA? That tracks

He doesn't seem to *be* an Incel, R61, as he has some poor or psycho woman in tow. He's just a hero to those creeps.

They will blindly support any male accused of a sexual crime or any crime against a female, and scream bloody murder if any male is arrested, tried, or convicted of a crime against a woman, sexual or not. They all, ALL aspire to get away with such crimes, and lionize those who do.

How dare women refuse to date a guy who's a combination of Jeffrey Epstein and The Talented Mr. Ripley!

Well this nutjob is about to be extradited! Apparently he has converted to Judaism while in prison and is wearing Orthodox garb now. When are they making the TV movie?

If this were the storyline of a novel, everyone would dismiss it as unrealistic fiction.

No man who worships Jodie Foster can be all bad

Good, hope that bastard is behind bars soon
