    It’s pretty damaging to your reputation to sue a rape victim for defamation. Or at least it should be.

    Can’t disagree with the ruling. Everything about the entire Higgins situation has been an absolute shitshow, and everyone involved seem like absolute pieces of shit.

      Did you miss the part where she got a like $2.4mil payout despite never having proven that she was raped?
