Very well said.
Here is my logic as to why I think they will settle. She already agreed to settle last year for 3million. So with all the crimes already committed (ie. to my knowledge nothing has happened since the settlement), 3mil was enough to convince her to not go to trial. The only reason she is suing now is because Vince violated the agreement by only paying her 1mil.
I canāt help but ask the question if I am trying to predict the outcome, if 3 million was a sufficient amount of money for her to settle a year or so ago, if they threw an insane number at her (lets just use 80M since you said it), I cant see her turning that down when she just accepted 3mil. Even if it was 5mil, 10mil, 15mil etc. same idea.
Not to mention, now she is getting the best of all worlds. She is able to provide life long security for everybody she cares about with what you said would be generational wealth. She is still successful in taking down her rapists as Vince and John are done, and lastly I highly doubt she wants to re-live the most traumatizing time in her life in front of a court room as Iām sure scumbag lawyers will do everything in their power to blame her and paint her in the worst way possible publicly (which sucks, but is what will happen). Also, I have to imagine after a public case like this and new ownership in WWE, any rape culture that may exist outside of Vince/John is surely going to be over.
Remember this isnāt Criminal, this is Civil. The goal in this case is to get money, thats what a Civil Trial is. I highly doubt the motivation of possibly getting some other execs fired because they may have known something was going on (to what degree, who knows) for generational money seems far fetched to me. And as far as going through with this for the hope that it increases the probability of a Criminal trial and putting Vince behind barsā¦I HATE that I have to say this, but to get a conviction for rape on a almost 80 year old Billionaire is very hard in the US court system. Look at Cosby, while he did go to jail, heās already out and he raped something like 50+ women where he admitted to giving them drugs so he could have sex with them while unconscious. The Stanford Rapist who raped a passed out girl behind a dumpster got what, 3 months? The US justice system with this sort of thing is a shit show, and for all those reasons I just canāt see her legal team telling her to not settle. And this doesnāt even account for the fact that Vinceās best buddy could be running the US in a year, so who knows what type of influence that will have on the matter. If Iām thinking these things, Iām sure her lawyers are thinking these things and much much much deeper then me.
Again, not what I āwantā, but what I think will happen. Its weird, I almost feel guilty debating @MarkP on this subject as he clearly feels strongly about a version of outcome 1 being the outcome, and I hope I donāt come off like I am āpro Vinceā which I am not even a little bit, but I just feel like that narrative is unrealistic (Iām sorry @MarkP I truly donāt mean any disrespect). I just try think about what the most logical outcome is, and this is what I think.
