Her promiscuity, prior engagements, drug/alcohol, her seduction . . . none of it is relevant. None of it.

Her drug/alcohol, promiscuity, prior engagements are not relevant. But the fact that she is accusing a man that she had actively sought out for years and years - to seduce (once), to befriend (both him and his wife), to work with him, to greet at parties.....that is relevant. In fact, that says a lot about what the relationship between these two REALLY was.
I think that actions speak louder than words do in this particular situation. I think she is looking for attention, anything to put herself in the spotlight.
She has nothing to gain by this particular "spotlight." So GMAFB. And, as others pointed out, she clearly had some other issues going on. Frankly, lots of people are able to put on blinders or act as nothing has happened as a coping mechanism. It's also possible that her position, or feelings, have changed over time. Or that she originally did not grasp the impropriety by Baio and now does. But, I see you are willing to bend over backwards for him and not give her any benefit of the doubt whatsoever.
I don't know if she's telling the truth or not. Or if he is. But, the knee jerk to believe him but bring into focus her myriad of issues as a way to dismiss her out of hand. . . . it's despicable and the reason why people don't speak up more.
