    Well my two cents are that I fully support an in depth investigation to find out if these claims are true, and if it is true if there are any other potential victims and what systems allowed this kind of behaviour to happen. Unfortunately I am not for or against vin diesel until more evidence is provided. But I hope the victim gets all the help and support during this time and that she won’t face any backlash for speaking up.

      Why does it take 13 years to come forward though? I don’t mean this in a way to disparage the alleged victim, but that’s a really long time. I’d understand a couple weeks, months, or even a year or two. But it seems really odd to way such a long time to come forwy. Why now?

        Everyone’s individual reaction is different. They could’ve spent literal years in denial or shame or any number of things. They could just be coming to terms with it now.

        Think about people still dragging around their childhood trauma and all that. It just takes time to process things, more so if society doesn’t really prioritize people talking about those types of trauma.

        But, ya know, let the courts figure that out and all.

        I also don’t have an answer why that long. That’s why I fully support an investigation, to find the real facts, like I said I need more evidence to make up my mind, did she falsely accuse him or did they cover this up and only now has she got the legal backing and courage.

    While researching this I came across someone mentioning Paul Walker in a similar light. Dude was 33 and dating a 16 year old.

    Fucking rapist piece of shit. I hope he never works again and loses the lawsuit and dies penniless.

    But I doubt it will happen because Hollywood is rotten to the core from the looks of it.

      Well, we went from these assholes having a private club of sorts, doing this shit on the downlow almost as part of the business practice.

      More and more of these predators are getting exposed.

      We can hope the tides are turning.

      This is better than silent suffering. Let’s purge.
