    As Shaun White cements legacy, why so little attention paid to sexual harassment allegations?https://usat.ly/2BrpmkS

        So when’s the best time to mention a lawsuit he settled? Two weeks from now when people go back to mostly ignoring Olympic sports?

        He settled the lawsuit and clearly admitted fault. Let’s remember we’re all human and less than perfect. In general the timing of this article was clearly opportunistic.

        The terms of the settlement were not disclosed. And again it’s relevant because: 1) It’s the Olympics and he’s competing. 2) #Metoomovementhttps://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/olympics/2017/05/16/shaun-white-sexual-harassment-lawsuit-settlement-reached-female-drummer/101752550/ …

        They were not disclosed but clearly enough to “settle” the case. Never said it wasn’t relevant only opportunistic. In general this is not as black and white as is clearly trying to be made.

        Sexual Harassment/ Assult is a serious allegation. The fact that she settled after a mental health evaluation was going to be conducted by the court; raises questions as to her motive. Why did she settle? A victim would want justice not a payout.

        He treated her like a member of the band. I don't see any mention of her telling him that she didn't think the messages were funny or telling him to stop. She only did this because she was kicked from the band. Shit is so dumb

        Only a tired old company who realized its days are numbered would try to kick down an American athlete that just won a god medal.

        Why do you keep posting this article since he won? Her original complaint was for money owed to her. Months later she refiles adding sexual harassment. With the new charges she could get more💲He admitted to the texts. It was common in their friendship. They settled so it's done.

        He sent funny/dirty texts to members of his band, including the men. She got the texts cuz she was in the band. She was later fired from the band and claimed the texts were sexual harrassment and sued for money.

        Hmmm guessing less in endorsements, at the least. #Metoo is about awareness, empowering all women, not meant to re-criminalize those who have been through the court system?

        It's funny how everyone is saying alligations when he admitted to doing it and settled outside of court. Learn to read. This is how idiots get elected president, having idiots vote for them. White screwed up and paid for it. Should women hold it against him, I don't know.

        Ugh, maybe learn to read yourself. He admitted to the texts, but not the rest of it. He settled out of court because not only do the texts alone probably get her an easy win, but courts typically side with sensationalized accusations when they can prove a few of the smaller ones

        I didn't realize that there was anything besides the text. But you're right that it's over sensationalized. He did something stupid, admitted to it, paid for it. It was harassment but not sexual assault. I was referring to the fake news references.

        It's all good. It's a confusing time with news, social networking, and all of the unsubstantiated allegations that are going around. I believe in justice but news outlets running smear campaigns against people for something so minor is ridiculous.
