Most likely, this is it. I'm guessing this case settles unless there is a sticking point, as in, either party refuses to settle because they want their day in court. I've seen a number of people here, along with a some articles, say that we should hold off making evaluations until the facts are better known. That's probably not really how this is going to work.

In some ways, I think Kobe Bryant has benefited in the court of public perception from winning his criminal case. It allowed people to discount the victims accusations. Derrick Rose is never going to get the opportunity to defend himself in a criminal action, unless there is an active investigation that later leads to indictment, which seems unlikely given the amount of time that has passed.

There really isn't anyway to know yet, right?

She just filed a law suit...there is no indication yet that a judge will approve it. It could get dismissed or settled. It just a fact that Rose is being sued by the person.

Maybe I missed something or I'm just wrong.

If people take time to read the entire complaint, they will understand why many don't believe her story. She has been trying to get money from Rose for over a year. Rose is not giving in. He will take some bad publicity at the moment, but I support Rose for not paying her off.

Hopefully my post above explains it better. I get why people question these specific allegations.


I understand the sentiment of your comment if it was being applied to any type of normal rape accusation case.

But this case is so ridiculously outlandish that it is absolutely justified to harshly criticize the basis of her allegations. I mean, when reading her complaint it seemed like each allegation was more absurd than the previous one.


Again I have no clue about this case, at all, but only going as a complete outsider and comparing it to previous cases of this type, it does appear to be in parts outlandish. Doesn't mean it's not all true, again, and there is not really a way this is 'good', and I don't know how the NBA will view it, but I have almost zero concern that Rose would miss time. He will need to write some checks, or at least one to a lawyer, but it appears the person is not after legal justice but rather money to make the pain go away. I'm not sure if any league has ever suspended a player based on the outcome of a civil suit? (Though it's a new era so there may be a first at some point.)

Some of the stuff I saw, person A dating person B and having relations, asking or even pressuring them to do things, big deal. So what. Just...any parts where he MADE her do something (which would only take one such event to flip this thing so to speak).

I don't criticize her at all without knowing, but I can certainly understand people being skeptical, to say the least.


This was my original sentiment -- some of the allegations just seem too outlandish to pass the smell test. The only probably with dismissing the allegations in this way, though, is that the sexual practices of others seem to be outlandish with some consistency. People are into freaky ****. I feel like it's unwise to look for a logical continuity in the story when some many stories about sex don't seem to have such a continuity.

I bet there is a reason there were never any criminal charges filed.
Anyone can file a civil suit...

Yeah but even after it's dismissed he'll be called a "rapist" and "pervert" by stupid fans at every away arena for years to come. I know pro athletes get called all kinds of names at games but it now will be on another level, the same level as racial slurs...disgusting...And for the record I'd feel the same if this was LBJ or any other athlete if they were being attacked by such outlandish claims by someone with such apparent shady motives...

I haven't really been following the thread so apologies if this has been covered, but she also said they got into the house 'because she leaves it frequently unlocked?' Huh.

From a lot of comments I've seen no one has called Rose a rapist, so I wouldn't worry about that. Only fans that will are LBJ/Cavs fans and trolls who's just trying to get attention.

And Rose has a lot of respect from players all around the league so I doubt it'd be brought up in trash talk during games.

I expect this to be dismissed in a week.

Hi alman. I edited my post after you quoted. It's not about this particular case per se. It's the clear ignorance being shown by too many folks here on the topic of rape in general.

ie) why / how in the world would a woman ever wait to report it?

ie) a famous/rich/powerful person wouldn't rape someone!

Just a lot of cluelessness floating around this thread.


Oh yea I understand. Most rapes don't get reported. Meaning Lebron James, Joakim Noah, and Steph Curry could be rapists for all we know. But since it is about this case, she trying to get money out of him for a year and on her third lawyer with money needs who is willing to break the rules and lie, press charges. Lawsuit after you press charges. If it was true, send him to jail first then take all his money.

I didn't read the full case, but if that's true, I called it earlier.

You know how many people forget to lock their doors when they're really drunk or drugged up? He'll, some people don't lock it regardless It's such a convenient way to say someone broke into your home if you get into an argument.

I just hate how the court of public opinion is almost just as bad as being guilty of the actual act. Rose is probably going to see alot of female backlash from this even if he is innocent. But it wont matter. We live ina mostly guilty until proven innocent society. However we also have a pretty short attention span. But it will definitly make Rose look a little different amongst some sports fans. Rape, especially in our current social climate, is a very serious accusation, guilty or not.

i can't believe her lawyers didn't do basic fact checking before filing

of course, they can simply say they meant he was at the game because his team was playing

Not saying that he is guilty or not but an athlete being out an injured is probably frustrated. Frustrated people at times do things they regret later.

And that COULD also kind of explained why he needed help from two others too. He couldn't do it by himself cuz of the injury. ughh...

The ACL surgery happened in May 2012. The alleged incident happened in August 2013. He was healed by then. And she says she'd been drugged.

Her story has a ton of holes.
