The celebrity-status has gone to his head…………….NO, BETTER……….DICK!!
claim of rape don’t make it so. false rape claims are a dime-a-dozen. especially since there is no consequences for filing false claims. and even if dismissed, the damage is done. and she not only walks free w/o revealing her identity, she always has a good civil case in the insane u.s. civil court system.
Last paragraph, last sentence: “…. ANOTHER female guest…..”. Was he charged with something like this before??
