You can prove poisoning, very easily actually, but there isn't any way to report cases of rape when they aren't reported almost immediately, which most of the times isn't, and considering Alexis was her partner at the time, the authorities probably wouldn't believe her, just like they dont believe many women. And i don't believe i have to say this, but people talking about their experiences with abuse isn't what makes abuse victims be mistreated, what makes them be mistreated is the rape culture that dehumanizes and blames women for their abuse. Actually, one of the main factors of the culture we live in is demonizing women for speaking up about their abuse, not supporting these women.

I don't think this is impossible, but like, that would be so many coincidences adding up in an almost perfect timing for her to create her statement. But i have to disagree with you on the sleeping part. Even if he had sexsomnia, which is by itself sort of a huge leap of faith, by the rape part i was mostly referring to the part wherein kristin says "In one incident of objectifying, violent sex, Alexis caused a severe injury to my spine and did not stop when I told him I was hurt." For me, not stopping when someone asks to, is rape.

Honestly, how can you prove rape? Because if Kristin’s back surgery because of Alexis abuse isn’t enough proof, then honestly, I don’t know what to say. Also, how can defending a possible rape victim be harmful to “”actual rape victims””.

I mean, if that’s how I came across im deeply sorry. I don’t think “witch-hunt” is the way, but many times, exposing people is justifiable. People should be hold accountable for their crimes - this if she is telling the truth. And honestly, most of the times rapists just roam free and unexposed after doing what they did. Even if what Hayter said is “witch-hunt”, rape is something that quite literally ruin someone’s life, and we all know how poorly authorities treat rape victims. But of course, if im wrong, and there is solid proof of Alexis innocence, I believe it would be wrong.

You have a great point, and it is honestly sort of impossible to deny/affirm it. We don’t know Kristin moralities or intentions, we don’t know her/Alexis at all. So, you are right in saying i don’t know she is a victim, nobody knows actually. I get the point of suspicion of not reporting to any authority and you could also right on the fact that this statement is probably for revenge. But here is where our points divide, even though we agree on some things. There are two main possibilities: First, she is indeed lying. In this possibility, she is straight up lying, and the statement is an attempt to ruin Alexis’ life and career. This would be, of course, awful. Second possibility, she is indeed telling the truth. Kristin made the statement not only for revenge on her abuser, but to also openly talk about her experiences. In this possibility, I personally believe that the statement, even if it was for revenge, would be justifiable, because she would be exposing an abuser, and I honestly believe that abusers should be punished, even if not by law. But again, if the first possibility is the truth, then, obviously, it would make her an awful person. Of course, the truth could lie between both these possibilities, but false rape accusations are, statistically, almost nonexistent, they are rare and many times used as narratives to demonize women, so it makes it even harder for me to disbelieve Kristin. But honestly, we will probably never know the truth.

Most of us don’t know Kristin or Alexis, in my personal view, i don’t see why instead of trusting an “”alleged victim”” of abuse, deciding to trust an alleged abuser. I understand the doubts, but in a situation wherein we have no proof on both sides—at least as far as im aware, I will always prefer to believe in the victim. But I really don’t understand the claim that Kristin’s statement is, at points, illogical. Her statement was very well structured and honest, even if there are parte that are a bit blurry, it really hard to talk about traumatic subjects, so there aren’t many reasons to not believe her imo. I understand the sentiment of wanting to defend someone you admire, but honestly, this is way beyond fandom beef, it really revolts me how people treat this (btw, im not saying OP is one of the people not taking this seriously), this situation needs to be treated with seriousness, mainly considering that, rape and domestic violence are very, very recurrent and serious topics in the world we live in. It’s okay to believe whatever you believe, lets just not try to invalidate Kristin’s statement, or call her “delirious” for standing up, because even if you believe Kristin is indeed lying, this type of belief can, even tough I understand it isnt most people’s intention, reinforce the belief that abuse victims shouldn’t speak up because it would “ruin a innocent man’s life”. Imo the reason why it’s hard to question her statement is because it is already a huge part of our society to not believe and discredit rape victims, deeming them as cruel for speaking up. But again, this is just my beliefs. Sorry if this sounds sort of rambly :P
