I wouldn't normally comment but it bothers me that the only comment on this podcast series is one that takes NG's side. I personally am really inspired by Scarlett's bravery in coming forward, then filing the lawsuit and also by the camaraderie she's found with other women who, I think quite clearly, have been deeply wronged by someone with a huge amount of cultural and financial power. I hope that they find some form of justice and resolution.
I think I am with her family on this. This smacks of someone who regrets their decisions, wanting to blame someone else, and to get an enormous handout to boot. She was 23, not 16. I am struggling to sympathise with her, sadly.
