All Narcissistic Predators are covert. It's not necessary to demarcate covert vs overt. That's just made up pop psychology. The one thing all Narcissistic Predators have in common is exploitation of their victims. They triangulate with those who love you to convince them you are "bad " so they will not believe you when you try to self-defend.
In fact, do not ever defend yourself from someone who has already judged you on false accusations and abandoned you.
They believe the lies because there is a pay off for them.
