While it's suspect on the surface, offering a financial settlement is a very common tactic in regards to avoiding backlash, regardless of whether you are actually guilty or not. Now I'm not saying for a second that him being cleared must mean he is innocent, but the money being offered really isn't evidence of any guilt like you'd think it would be.
Yep. People tend to forget this a lot. Even if a story is entirely false, the damage it can do before anyone figures that out is usually far higher than whatever money they offer up front.
The woman rejecting it would be a very bizarre move if she knew she had no evidence, though.
Surely she, rightly or wrongly, thinks she has an ironclad case to turn down that amount of money?
Of course, that's assuming there was a shush money offer.
Possibly, but it's unlikely we will ever hear the facts of this case, I mean we still haven't had confirmation that the misconduct was even sexual in nature, it was first reported as him bullying a reporter if I'm not mistaken and without the facts we can't say what motivated her to reject the settlement offer.
Maybe I misread something, but wasn't the supposed 650k being made to stop ppl reporting on the matter rather directly to the aggrieved?
