He is the man you thought you knew.
‘A different man has been portrayed in the media over the last two months. It is the portrait of a man I do not know.There appears to be no vetting of my husband’s accusers before stories are published or aired. An accusation is published, and immediately goes viral…
We all followed the story of the article in the “Rolling Stone” concerning allegations of rape at the University of Virginia. The story was heart-breaking but ultimately appears to be proved to be untrue.Many in the media were quick to link that story to stories about my husband.Many in the media were quick to link that story to stories about my husband – until that story unwound.
None of us will ever want to be in the position of attacking a victim. But the question should be asked – who is the victim?’
