Posted: Tue Jun 18, 2019 6:22 pm Post subject: Drake's Paid Alleged Rape Victim $350K To Keep Quiet? |
|
|
Quote: | The legal documents describe the ongoing negotiation of the settlement amount, to be paid by Drake to Morris, between the two parties.
Specifically, a July 2018 meeting is described in NYC where she claims an offer was formally made, but her attorney's advised her to decline by saying, "it’s not a good enough offer and to not accept the first offer."
Laquana then alleges she was blindsided by Drake after the hip-hop star filed a lawsuit against her for civil extortion, emotional distress, fraud, defamation, and abuse of process.
In the suit, Drake claimed he and the Instagram model hooked up at his hotel after a concert, where the two had consensual sex. Specifically, "Layla also voluntarily and seemingly happily performed oral sex." |

I like the way Charles Barkley put it: Settle! I settle every time because as a black man I have no faith in the American justice system. Not putting my fate in the hands of 12 white jurors. |

It's unfortunate that when people of wealth are accused of assault or rape, there is a certain group of people who always assume it's a shakedown . . . it's always about doubting the apparent victim.
And people wonder why women are hesitant to report when they are assaulted or raped. _________________ You thought God was an architect, now you know

There's a vast difference between following the concept of innocent until proven guilty in a court of law and asserting that the apparent victim is making it up for financial gain. _________________ You thought God was an architect, now you know

I did not assert anything.....I simply pointed out a possible motive for his actions. Are you "asserting" that it is not possible that could be a motive for the payment? |

I'm simply saying that comments such as yours are one of the many reasons victims of sexual assault are frequently hesitant to even come forward. It's the only crime where the victim is routinely doubted - "she's just trying to extort money", "She was asking for it. Look at how she dressed", "She shouldn't have gotten drunk" or "it was totally consensual. She just is bitter that it turned out to be a one night stand" . . . and on and on.
No one looks at someone whose house burned to the ground and says, "They probably started the fire themselves for the insurance money". Or if someone is killed during a mugging, people don't routinely blame the victim for forcing the mugger to kill them by not acting quickly enough. Of course that has occurred in the past, but it's not an instant fallback response the way victim blaming with sexual assault is for far too many people.
Simply making the speculation is unfair, unreasonable and quite frankly (bleep) up and the attitude behind it leads to far too many victims remaining quiet. Support the victims until there is unquestionable reason to do otherwise. _________________ You thought God was an architect, now you know

I disagree with your entire view. In today's environment...celebrities are undoubtedly a target....and from the outside, I think mature skepticism on both parties is warranted in these claims without evidence to suggest otherwise.....and no, I will not consider someone guilty until there is unquestionable reason to suggest otherwise. That is the problem....there are two parties when there is a claim made, and without any knowledge beyond the claim, I find it ridiculous to automatically assume either party is being truthful or at fault. |

And there in lies the problem. This pervasive attitude that exists amongst a select portion of society that the victim is likely the perpetrator of the wrong doing for personal gain.
Obviously I agree that everyone is innocent until proven guilty, which is why I pointed that out already.
But you continue to exhibit the very problem that helps continue the cycle - the instant assumption that the victim is making it up.
I haven't even remotely denied that false accusations have occurred. I've simply noted the social problems associated with perpetuating the second guessing of apparent sexual assault victims.
The number of women making up sexual assault is minuscule compared to the reality that sexual assault is far more common than some would like to admit.
Like I said, there's a vast difference between not assuming guilt and assigning the victim as the perpetrator. Yet for some bizarre reason that's where some people want to go. And feel free if that's your thing. Just own the hill and defend it if you insist. Just don't pretend it's a hill worth dying on. _________________ You thought God was an architect, now you know
