I'll be the first to say that doing interviews vs staying out of the media spotlight doesn't prove a single thing. It's just an interesting observation.
For those who aren't aware. Tara Reade who was a former aide to then Sen. Joe Biden came out publicly during the 2020 election and accused Joe Biden of sexual assault. It was mostly ignored by the media and Tara's reputation and story has been put into question.
Tara Reade, 56, worked as a staff assistant to Mr Biden from 1992-93 when he was a senator for the US state of Delaware.
In recent interviews, she has said that in 1993 her former boss forced her against a wall and put his hands under her shirt and skirt after she delivered him his gym bag.
"There was no exchange, really, he just had me up against the wall," she said to podcast host Katie Halper in March 2020.
"I remember it happened all at once... his hands were on me and underneath my clothes." He then penetrated her with his fingers, she said.
"I remember him saying, first, as he was doing it 'Do you want to go somewhere else?' and then him saying to me, when I pulled away... he said 'Come on man, I heard you liked me,'" she said.
"That phrase stayed with me."
Ms Reade filed a criminal complaint on 9 April 2020 with police, saying she was a victim of sexual assault but did not name Mr Biden.
She said in a tweet that she filed the complaint "for safety reasons only", as the statute of limitations for her claim had expired and she had begun to receive online threats.
