    Not sure why you’re being downvoted, nobody here knows if he did it or not.

    Unfortunately, that’s pretty much a wrap for him. Nobody has come back from rape allegations, even if they win in court.

    I don’t even like the guy, but I really dislike how we’ve regressed to the point where feelings are more important than facts.

      Cancelled people don’t come back!? What fucking planet are you living on?

      Bret The Rapist Kavanaugh got everything he wanted after getting cancelled.

      Floyd Wife Beater Mayweather will still be remembered for his boxing career than the shit he should be remembered for.

      Louie Indecent Exposure CK came back to the Comedy Scene years after getting cancelled only to make disingenuous jokes about his behavior.

      These pieces of garbage should hang their heads in shame and suffer social ostracism until all their victims vocally and emphatically forgive them publicly.

      The fact we make excuses for and defend these “people” because of their social status and a myriad of legal loopholes that allow for them to walk free with their heads held high while their victims are questioned and vilified is fucking pathetic.

          It was a defamation case in which the courts determined that Trump made false statements by denying the allegations because he most likely did sexually assault E. Jean Carroll.

          No criminal case was brought because it’s beyond the statute of limitations, and since the legal bar in a criminal case is higher I don’t think any prosecutor would bring those charges even if statute of limitations wasn’t an issue.

          At the time when Carroll alleges Trump raped her, the statute of limitations for rape in the state of New York was five years.

        There was no real evidence though. Just he said she said. Let’s not pretend like there aren’t huge incentives to make false allegations and that there are entities out there capable executing on that plan. I say this as someone who is not a fan of Trump.

      I mean Deshaun Watson came back with 230 million dollars guaranteed after several sexual harrasment allegations. Public image wise hes gone, but that doesnt mean he still doesnt make a shit ton of money (and all of it guaranteed)

        Several? Man was at 26 allegations and he is still currently being sued. The Browns were stupid enough to pay him thinking he was going to save them and to a vast majority of football fans joy he isn’t playing well. I wouldn’t be shocked if he goes broke.
