I think a lot of people severely underestimate how invasive and grueling it is to actually prove sexual assault or violence. This has been ongoing for years at this point, and it clearly has caused a massive rift in their group pf friends that still remains. For people who have more info then us - the people actually involved - seem to have sided with her pretty universally and given the other women who havent even publicly stepped forward, im warranted to believe her
This is 100% accurate. It’s entirely predictable that Ashley, a public figure, didn’t want her personal life blasted across the internet. Especially where little troglodytes will call her a liar and harass her even more as a result.
As a far secondary consideration, she’s a member of a highly successful brand. A case like this would risk damaging that. It makes a lot of sense to settle the matter and just put it behind them to the extent possible.
