    What’s the deal with women waiting over 30 years to announce stuff like this? Should have been more like 30 seconds to maybe 30 minutes.

    Conveniently before an election no less…

      Enormous pressure to keep quiet. It’s nearly a cartel, speaking out at the wrong time will ruin your career and/or life.

        Trump was literally quoted back in 2005 for saying “Grab them by the pussy”

        https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/read-donald-trumps-lewd-remarks-about-women-on-days-of-our-lives-set-2005-groping-star-a7351381.html

        So again I ask, why have these women waited so damn long to speak up?

          The friend said Ms. Williams over the years had discussed going public but was worried about endangering her family.

            But how are you supposed to jump to unreasonable conclusions now? /s

            Never heard of the statute of limitations have you?

                Also doesn’t equal evidence, though I don’t doubt the woman for even a second.

              Why are you defending a known rapist and Epstein client?

                Not defending them at all. They can both go to hell as far as I care.

                  I’m glad you aren’t trying to defend him, but it does come across that way.

              Statute of limitations is irrelevant, there’s no legal proceeding here.

              Never heard of 1st amendment? There is no limitation on speaking up.

      How about you don’t try to dictate how sexual assault victims “should” act?

        It’s called a statute of limitations. Look it up.

          You’re dismissing how victims feel in favor of you telling them how you think they should act again. Do better, my friend. Not everyone has had the same experiences you have had and would act how you think they should act all of the time.

      I mean, this is a question you definitely know the answer to, or could figure out in roughly one second, if you weren’t making a public stand of refusing to know it.

      No one is capable of forcing you to drop the charade.

        I have nothing for the orange diaper baby. Still, assuming he groped a woman over 30 years ago, why wait until now to speak up?
