If the lawsuit doesn't go through, now at least public record allows me to talk openly about my book.

It's a win-win.

And then it worked perfectly.

The settlement happened, but I don't think she ever probably wanted it to go to where it went.

But when you file a lawsuit with alleged rape and these type of things...

it's almost irresponsible for law enforcement to not check to see if there was an actual crime.

Right.

If you really look at, you know, if you want to go into, like, Deshaun Watson, right?

When these cases was filed, they did a legal investigation, but they saw no crime.

So almost every one of these high-profile allegations is a legal investigation, and they decide.

So with the legal investigation, this became all this stuff.

But I don't think I would bet that there's no way Cassie wanted this to go to.

Yeah.

She already was compensated.

Why would why would she want that story?

Yeah.

Yeah, there's no reason.

I think I would almost say it was almost like, to some degree, she was forced, right, to, hey, listen, we have a legal case.

You've got to testify.

And you just, there's an intimidation factor where how do you say no to the government?
