- Preemptively starts the smear campaign by planting (false) seeds about the victim’s character in the minds of others
- Begins the smear by painting him/herself as the devoted, loving innocent victim
- Twist stories and spreads lies about the victim’s character, making sure to incorporate a grain of truth to appear more convincing
- Lines up a replacement partner to use for future reputation management, supply, and triangulation
- Discards partner out of the blue, then publicly flaunts new supply (who unknowingly becomes a public spokesperson attesting to the narcissist’s good character) and then uses the victim’s reactions as proof they’re the one to blame for all the problems in the relationship
