I hear you and I agree with some aspects of what you're saying. But it's also important to call out some unpleasant truths about situations like these, which is the enormous benefit that she was getting (money, external respect and status, power) or she would've left. She would not have entered into this relationship with the local garbage collector. She sought out the relationship to derive benefits from it. I think as women we have to recognize that we have some sick needs for the power and status that we get from men. There are so many examples like this (like Bill belchick and his 24-year-old). Let's stop making excuses for women who make these choices.

This quote.
“I’m quite sure somebody’s going to talk to those jurors and convince one or two of them — that’s all you need, is one,” he told host Chris Cuomo. “So, at the end of the day, it’s going to be a real exciting situation, but I think he’s going to be all right.”
Now I understand why he is going to trial.
Bro, if that's true then why didn't you flex your muscles and status, Suge? You're doing 28 years behind bars! Why hasn't Trump pardoned your ass, hmm? Also, Suge fought his charges for 3 years before finally accepting a plea deal right before trial to save himself from life behind bars.
No one in this sick industry has any right to say a word. They participated in a disgusting coverup.

Depends on the source, the post said they didn’t really react visibly.
