And what she's done can be weaponized against all women.

Apparently, these kinds of stories are pretty popular.

They can also be dangerous.

As women, a lot of us remember the times we've been called crazy.

I've been called crazy.

You double text.

You call too many times.

You say I love you too quickly.

You want to have conversations about the future.

You want to process something that hurt your feelings.

You've been gaslit and you react.

Or, worst of all, you've been abused and you tell the truth.

And then all of a sudden, you've been assigned the label crazy.

I've thought about this word a lot.

We've all seen it used to discredit women.

I was cautious about taking on a story where the antagonist is such a polarizing figure.

I also didn't expect the facts to speak as loudly as they do.

After just a few weeks of reporting, I had a realization similar to what Reality Steve described.

I've said this before and I'll say it again.

Fabricated claims like the kind alleged here are incredibly rare.
