It's actually the other way around. People won't give him the benefit of the doubt. And almost every famous pro athlete on this planet is a womanizing "sleaze", and most famous people in general are like this.
And he's innocent until proven guilty, what's your point? If it does come out that he did in fact do these things, then yes, he's a F'd up individual, but what are you even trying to say? This is such an unprovable case, it's a moot point. If there was evidence that he actually did do this, it would've been leaked by now.
You said it's not a PR hit.
I don't know if you understand what a PR hit is if you say this.
I didn't discuss whether the case was provable, and people do think far worse of someone proven to be a sleaze then someone who's in a class of people who are likely to be sleazy but haven't been proven to be. If you think otherwise you're being quite naive. There's a reason why people keep all of this discreet. It's not because "no one cares".
It absolutely affects their marketability.
I'm not saying it can't be recovered from. I'm not saying it will hurt him for the next five years. I'm not saying it's true. I'm saying it is a hit to his PR right now which is the opposite of what you said. It's something he sure as hell doesn't want out there in the open.
It doesn't mean all of Derrick's fans will hate him or anything else, but i would bet that he will turn off some segment of the fan population if details come out that he's a womanizer and likes to gang bang women with his friends (even if all consenting).
In order for this to be a PR hit, people would have had to not assume he's like this. My point was, people already assume he's like this. If you assume someone is like that, why in the hell would it surprise you, or make you feel different about said person?
Yeah, it affects his marketability, but like I said, even if he did do this, there's no proof, and if he gets cleared, the same people following this story, are the same people that are going to find out she really was a gold digging money grabber.
Of course he doesn't want it out there in the open, but the fans he has now aren't going to take her side on this, and stop buying his shoes. But I agree, it will affect any new potential endorsement deals.
Yea, so obviously sounds fake saying you brought your sex therapist friend who went at D-Rose sexually instead of doing her job.
