Gaslighter

One who takes part in the manipulation of events and situations in order to make a target person believe that he or she is crazy. They may lie or deny needing to any part of responsibility.
Jack denies texting his ex’s father and says he is not wrong for telling his ex’s father that she has inappropriate photos of him. Jack denial and pure lack of responsibility and respect makes him a gaslighter among with other things.
