Always the question of, why do these allegations come out now?
When would you like them to come out?
I don’t have a specific answer but within a decade of the incident would be preferable. Before the whole “me too” movement it was more understandable why some women didn’t come forward at the time. Strikes me as somewhat odd that 4 women would sit on this for over a decade, then simultaneously feel this is the moment they must speak out.
Why am I not surprised that you did not read the article?
“Four women are alleging sexual assaults between 2006 and 2013.”
“The Sunday Times said all the women felt ready to speak only after being approached by reporters. The newspaper said several felt compelled to do so given Brand's newfound prominence as an online wellness influencer.”
