Her friend. Her bridesmaid. Then her ex-husband’s partner.
Amanda and Paula’s history began years before the attacks on Liana. Amanda first trusted Paula as a practitioner, then welcomed her as a close friend and bridesmaid. Paula subsequently became the partner of Amanda’s former husband, Wade.
They became close friends. Amanda confirmed that Paula was a bridesmaid in her wedding to Drew and first saw Wade on the wedding day. 6-89–6-90
The friendship broke down. Amanda said she was hurt and devastated when Paula began dating Wade. Her timeline describes blocking Paula and ending contact. 6-91; Amanda’s timeline
“She has tried to ruin my family for 8 years now.” That was what Amanda told Liana in April 2022. The statement records Amanda’s account of the family conflict already in progress.
Amanda later sent Liana repeated claims about Paula’s treatment of the girls, hostility toward their mother, finances, healing practices and online activity. Those conversations are preserved in their own section below.
“People (in Weyburn) are SO dark and so messed up.” — Amanda Brady
Amanda’s messagesIn April 2022, Amanda told Liana that she believed Paula had tried to harm her family for years.
Amanda’s messagesAmanda described her prior relationship with Paula and the timing of the dispute.
Amanda’s messagesAmanda discussed Paula and their history in a June 2022 message.
Amanda’s messagesAmanda said she had no direct contact with Paula and asked about a claim Paula attributed to her.
“We tried everything to get the girls back” - but did you? Read Wade's nasty response below.
Paula told the jury that she and Wade contacted police, immigration authorities, the FBI, a lawyer and a local politician. “Not one single authority helped us,” she said. The correspondence shows another part of the story: a proposed parenting arrangement, travel paid by Amanda, and a waiver of financial claims. 4-169–4-175
The financial history cannot be left out
“Wade has refused to provide income disclosure or pay for section 7 expenses since shortly after the parties separation.”
Amanda’s lawyer’s draft response · June 14, 2022, p. 2
The letter says Amanda and Drew paid the girls’ health and dental expenses. It refers to an earlier retroactive claim and proposes waiving retroactive and ongoing child support and additional expenses to reach an agreement.
What Amanda’s lawyer proposed
Four two-week parenting blocks each year. The proposed arrangement included contact, schooling, health and activity information.
Amanda would cover travel costs. While the children’s visas were pending, she offered to bring them to North Dakota or another U.S. location for Wade’s parenting time.
A waiver of financial claims. The proposal offered to waive all retroactive and ongoing child support and section 7 expenses.
The illegal-entry accusation was expressly disputed. The letter says border officials permitted the original entry, Wade consented to December travel, and he knew of the visa application and relocation discussions.
June 14, 2022 draft attorney letter, pp. 1–3. The letter records Amanda’s side and a settlement proposal.
“You're such a piece of shit. I won't be signing a parenting agreement....Go fuck your self.” - Wade's response to Amanda
Wade’s emailWade’s email says he will not sign a parenting agreement and directs profanity at Amanda.
Amanda’s accompanying message says she supported a relationship between Wade and the girls but wanted a signed plan addressing visitation, visas and return travel. That exchange is preserved in the additional messages below. Paula also acknowledged that Amanda had not stopped phone and Zoom contact between Wade and the girls. AB-178, AB-184; 4-171:14–18
“No facts.” Paula said Wade's affidavit to take Isla, a little girl, away from her mother, Haley, was NOT BASED ON FACTS.
“We had made an assumption that she (Liana) was involved.”
Where she first heard about Liana: Paula identified her stepdaughters and said they told her Amanda was Liana’s student. She also testified that she looked at Liana’s website in 2019 or 2020. 5-44–5-45
What supported the assumption: “Based upon what my stepdaughters had already told me.” 5-49
The shared teacher: Asked whether the common fact was that Amanda and Haley were both Liana’s students, Paula agreed. Asked for other facts tying Liana to the move at that point, she said no. 5-50–5-51
“No facts.” Asked whether the assertion in Wade’s affidavit rested on a belief rather than facts, Paula agreed. 5-52
Paula admitted to colluding with other people to try to harm Liana.
Paula also joined a Zoom call about Liana without establishing who organized it. She and Wade submitted their own statements to Judge Mollway in April 2023. Paula explained that they hoped proceedings against Liana could help get the girls back. Under oath, she described the purpose as to “let the court know that there was stuff going on that could be a problem with the probation.” She said the group asked them to submit letters about their family situation in Liana’s proceeding, hoping a probation violation could help return the children to Canada.

April on Instagram. May on Reddit. “The slander started in April on this account, and on Reddit it started in May. And I remained silent for seven months…” Liana added: “I hadn’t said a word.” Liana’s August 4 testimony, 2-149
She had not posted about the defendants before that response. Asked when the posts began, with November raised in the question, she answered: “Seven to eight months after they were slandering me.” Asked if she had posted about the defendants previously: “No, not a single time.” August 11, 7-150
Why she finally spoke. “First, it was mostly defending myself. I had been attacked for eight months, and I was hurt, I was sad, I was devastated.” 7-160

The privacy claim and the public Facebook photographs
Paula had these photos posted publicly to her Facebook page, but then took them down for the trial so she could lie and say she's “just a quiet private citizen in Canada who wants no attention”
The Facebook photographs Amanda supplied say otherwise
Amanda sent Liana photographs identified as images Paula had made public on Facebook, including lingerie portraits.

“Evil in Saskatchewan”:
An earlier Exposing Family Abuse piece starts with its account of Amanda and Drew Brady’s family in Regina, Saskatchewan. It describes the attacks on their family and business, the cyber investigation, the move to Florida, and the role Paula played. This is a separate author’s account.
The letter says the campaign initially targeted Amanda, Drew, and Drew’s business, then increasingly targeted Liana. It describes a private investigation linked Paula to anonymous online posts. It also attributes a financial and custody motive to Paula. Those motive claims are the letter writer’s interpretation.
Read the original public letter, starting at “The Brady’s of Regina Saskatchewan”. The linked original includes material beyond the portion discussed here.
