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.
She may have been financially pressured into signing an NDA at the time. California recently changed the law so NDAs can no longer be used to keep victims of sexual abuse from reporting the crimes.
I haven’t read that it applies here, but it is a possible explanation. Fresh out of college, student loans and fear of being blackballed in an industry that is very reputation-based, “shut up and take this money or never work again”. If this is what happened here, waiting a decade and coming forward after the law changed makes a lot of sense to me.
