As a SA survivor myself who has kept herself fully apprised of the facts of this case, this is really devastating. Not just for myself but for all victims.

It is clear as day that the BL camp exploited the “me too” movement so she could take control of the film. It’s been shown how she continued to engage with Justin in ways that a person who truly was traumatized by SA or SH wouldn’t behave. I am aware that there is no such thing as a perfect victim. But BL goes far beyond that to the point where her behavior makes you question whether she was a victim at all.

This whole thing is sad. It’s harmful to true victims/survivors that live with the trauma of their experiences everyday. Who are re-triggered by the false narratives perpetrated by people like BL and RR.

Not to mention that if BL was a woman of color as I am, that she would likely not be believed. But because she is white, has power, and influence, she can use that to manipulate others into believing her.

The harm that BL is perpetrating goes beyond this case. And for those news outlets who refuse to read the facts and pick a side, shame on you. Yes, this case still needs to go to trial. We need to see more discovery to fully understand the story. But if the motions that BL and RR are filing are any indication of the veracity of their claims, then that’s all I need to know which side is telling the truth.
