[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sure, the mean haircuts. Oh, and the full on sexual assault they just stood there, filmed, edited, and aired....[/quote]

I’d be interested on the take of the others. She didn’t mention assault until now. Called her boyf and said we had sex…I am not saying it wasn’t an assault but I didn’t remember thinking it was back when I first watched it and if even worse footage exists, I wish they backed her and said it was wrong and she was assaulted.

She passed out during which means she could not legally consent. I assume nobody thought that way 25 years ago, but we do now and [b]that wasn't managed well in the docu thing. [/quote][/b]

Ok, thanks. Definitely not blaming her but it would have been a great teachable moment to show or discuss what wasn’t seen.

I only listened (while walking) to when the model first discussed it but then was watching the part when it was reshown on Tyra’s show. It would be so powerful for kids to see and hear people saying:

- she was passed out
- she was non responsive 
- she was incoherent 
- she was uncommunicative

Etc. to show this was rape. In no way am I blaming this then-kid, but it is such a vital topic now, it is a huge missed opportunity to not show or discuss this. Yes, years ago silence wasn’t really taken as a no but this wasn’t showing it. No clips? Then say: “what wasn’t shown is that after this….”

Awful that so many were around her and failed to stop or help…even afterwards - speaking up and getting her help. I don’t mean just the other models. This poor girl…[/quote]
