The Trial: USA

So a lot of this stuff should not be disputed because it's right there on the video.

And isn't that amazing, Kayla? And thank you for pointing that out, because to me, this is part of the normalization of the bankers. music industry that they would be so bold in the early 2000s, which is not that long ago, 20 years ago, to just put it all on film. And even now, you know, people ask me, why do I think that sexual abuse is so bad in the music industry?

Because I think that's one of the worst industries for women out of all the industries that I've gone after. And I think it's because it is so accepted and normalized. Yeah. You know, look at female artists are still expected to wear very skimpy, tiny little clothes and be very sexy. Whereas male artists can, you know, wear whatever they want. And it's all about the music for them. Right.

And when you look at a lot of music videos now, there's still overly sexualized images of women, which really have nothing to do with the song. It's just there, I guess, as eye candy for people. And, you know, some of that you could say, well, that's just part of the artistry, but it's so prevalent.

And women being sexually harassed, sexually assaulted in the music industry, the music industry covering it up over and over again, as in R. Kelly's case, for example. I mean, it's really time for a reckoning in the music industry.

You know, I hope so. I hope that the production companies have preserved it. That's something that we definitely want to look at and see what is there. Also people's personal videos, you know, people are always making videos with their phone. What do people have? What is still preserved? Absolutely.

You know, I wonder if this, as I said, will really even be contested, that the women were deprived of food, that they weren't allowed to leave, that they had bad labor conditions, they had to work ridiculous hours, they were so controlled. You know, I wonder if that will even be contested in the case, because I think it's pretty clear that these things happened.

Yeah, and why do artists need to be hazed? They don't. People in other industries don't need to be hazed. Television actors don't get hazed. I mean, it's silly. I think it was partly for the entertainment value of reality TV. We all like to see things that are shocking and outrageous. And it's partly the personality of the people involved that they were cruel and sadistic.

Our job as attorneys is to gather the evidence, gather the facts, the witnesses, and to put on a winning case at trial. So it's not that significant to me whether people in general are tired of hearing about the allegations or they've got fatigue over it. My job is to go into court and put on a case that will win, right?

And I think that the two cases that I've accepted, Don Rashard's and the John Doe case, are both very strong cases. I have also reviewed a lot of others and rejected them because I didn't feel that they had strong enough evidence and witnesses. So a lot of people are coming forward. Perhaps the people that we didn't take, they went to other attorneys who see it differently and rejected.
