“... She’s been living with the consequences publicly for months...”
She’s been living with the consequences of her own poor choices you mean. She didn’t have to go to an unsupervised teenage party, she didn’t have to get so drunk that she passed out, she didn’t have to have the sense to at least go with a friend that would watch her back or provide some help. Nope, it’s all the fault of some evil boys and no excuses for them being drunk off their butts either, nope none whatsoever. I would imagine the only thing she’s really upset about is the fact that her character has been exposed for all to see, for that alone these guys should spend the rest of their lives behind bars. Well, you know what they say about women, hell and being scorned so I won’t comment further on what her motivations might be.
“... She’s got the fortitude to stand up for not only herself, but other possible victims down the line. ...”
I just couldn’t pass up commenting on this, you make her out to be some kind of hero, selflessly pursuing justice for all, kind of like super(wo)man. She’s a drunken teenage s(rhymes with mutt) that’s so out of control and thinks so highly of herself that she’ll disobey a judges order in order to extract that last little bit of vengeance. She’s not, and I seriously doubt that this was the first time something like this happened in her life. Give it up this is trailer park trash not Joan of Arc.
