Hi clo,
Jennie is calling her ex-husband a liar as well, and talking to journalists to multiply the audience for her allegations.
So she kinda brought the nasty situation upon herself.
She is also maximising the damage to their post-marital relationship.
Is it our job to decide which of two people is telling the truth where they contradict each other? Is a divorce the right subject-matter for newspapers and a nation's political debate?
Personally, I find it fairly abhorrent that a person accuses another person and seeks publicity for the accusation with the intent to damage them and their livelihood. I couldn't imagine doing that under any circumstances.
To me, this approach is likely the work of an embittered and manipulative person.
So that makes me lean in favour of the person who didn't do so.
But I could be wrong.
To me, it is something for a court if the 'victim' wishes to make the accusation. Not for us to argue about in a partisan fashion: we want blood because he is one of Trump's henchmen. But actually, that's not the way I want to do politics.
If there was a pattern and it wasn't a divorced/divorcing couple, I would think differently.
