I'll be the first to admit. When I see accusations of sexual abuse towards politicians & celebrities I typically take it with a grain of salt. Even when the accused is a Democrat.
And....I know this is fucked up....but I also suspect money grab as well.
When I first heard the name Tara Reade it fell right in with my categories above.
Watch clip here: https://youtu.be/WvFM04SVY70
But something about this clip. Especially 3:00+. I can't get this out of my head.
This isn't like all the accusers I've seen before. Christine Blasey Ford. Stormy Daniels. Julie Swetnick. Even Monica Lewinsky who we know actually happened all feel political or intentful.
Tara Reade feels raw. Feels real. Feels like real abuse.
What are your thoughts?
No idea why this clip stayed with me all day after first seeing it aired last night but it did. Almost haunting even. I have not spared even a minute on Tara Reade before so I have no idea what the background all is. But this feels so different than the list above.
Agree. I had never seen her talk about it before. The profile of him as an abuser rings so true. It's about power and humiliation. But the way she described his demeanor. Especially afterward when he shakes her and says "you're okay, you're okay." That kind of confusing schizo stuff is what happens in real life, not in someone's imagination. It would be hard to believe someone could make something like that up.
In this case I belive it.
Pretty powerful.
went to the link, realized I was expecting Tara Reid.
