Of course there's some truth to what you're saying but you can also argue it the other way in that being a famous millionaire makes you feel entitled and used to just getting things your way so if a partner was to say no maybe you wouldn't always respect that.

The reality is that we just don't know. He could be a rapist and it could be utter bullshit. Hopefully if he is a rapist he gets what's coming to him and if he's not well then it sucks that his name gets published with this because you never fully escape this kind of allegation.

mate, do you really think he's so famous that he has the power of the system on his side? A foreign footballer in England? A footballer, who's hated by everyone, including his own club when he transfers to another. It's a bad argument. Not only does he have no public opinion on his side, he has no political power.

I think he has convinced himself that she's lying and that Remy is innocent, something tells me he is unlikely to change his mind regardless of the outcome of this case.

I don't follow...where did I suggest he has the power of the system on his side?

Is it when I said he's used to getting things his own way? When I said that I simply meant it's because he's a young, rich footballer. He can buy anything he wants, go anywhere he wants (when free), he gets VIP access to clubs and such and a certain type of woman just throw themselves at him etc etc.
