Again, right now it's an allegation, but if he turns out to be guilty and it was covered up.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's likely not an argument in favor of your stance because those are exactly the type of men women are more powerless against. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one thing I will say....there could be a possibility he was handling this without the team knowing. Just sayin. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dante9876 Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 I tell you this. If this a money grab, AB and his lawyers are going to go after her. I dont see AB doing what most accused men do and just letting it go. He is gonna try to make a point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matts4313 Posted September 11, 2019 Author Share Posted September 11, 2019 I find it odd that she is keeping this as a civil suit and not a criminal one. I dont know if that means anything, but I dont understand why. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobikus Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Now I'm real surprised Ben and Brown weren't better friends. Real birds of a feather here. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont know if that means anything, but I dont understand why. Per the article: Quote It was not clear whether Taylor reported her accusations to the police. We don't know if or to what extent she has cooperated with police. She could file a civil suit separately from criminal charges. So to say she is limiting this to civil may or may not be accurate.

IIRC, O.J. got off with the murders in criminal court but was found guilty when Nicole Brown Simpson's family charged him with a civil suit. He walked free from jail but had to pay millions to the families. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
