Hi, so anyone who claims this movie is a true story need to do some research. It is not what happened. 3 girls were the first three people to file lawsuits for sexual harrassment at the same time. NBC bought the rights to all 3 of their life stories, took parts and pieces and then made up what they had to add or change so it would be a better movie. I know all of this because I used to date on of these girls. In fact I later married and divorced her and we have 2 kids (she has 5 with 3 guys but custody of none. I raised them alone. Boy and girl since birth. She pd no support. Prison 5 times +. She was raped and harassed beyond your comprehension. But it was her click of best friends who were present in the room when the rape happened that turned on her. Lifelong best friends did not believe her and turned on her. The man accused of rape spent a year in jail. Then charges were dismissed. Her life was hell in her words until she met me. We met a year after the rape. The day we began dating, the he'll and harrassment all just STOPPED that day. In her words. Because she was dating me, everyone quit. For 2 years. Nada. We broke up. Went separate ways and almost instantaneously she was treated like dirt again not by or because of me. People quit because they would not treat her like that when she was my girlfriend out of respect and decency to me. When we split up the town started in on her again. I protected her and i alone brought love and with me the only peace she had in years worths of misery. We split for over 5 years. All the fallout long since passed. Then we reconnected got married had 2 kids together for a total of 3. Then got divorced 4 years later and I was blessed to be given the opportunity to raise them myself. Single fathers were a myth in that state. I chose to be a daddy. It's been amazing. An honor. And unconditional love and support from a loving parent. The rapist was a rapist not a football player. And unlike the fictional movie he and I were never friends. I did not partake in the abuse. In fact I met her over a year after the rape, harassment, her coast to coast talk show appearances, including Maury Povich, Sally Jesse Raphael, the phil Donahue show etc. The lawsuit, the charges and the year he spent in jail, all of it was unknown to me or by me . I had never heard of any of it until we started dating and i fell in love with her. Then she told me all about it, gave me her whole story and history. Everyone told me to run. Do you know what you are getting yourself into? I loved her for the person she was and ignored all else and didn't care the consequences. I Was an honor student, star athlete, student council, lifelong boyscout, top 2 percentile IQ on the planet. And tough as nails. No football player raped her. And the rapist and I have never been friendly at all. All those twists and fictional changes were done by the writers of NBC. So people would actually warch and like the movie. The issues addressed in the movie needed an audience to help others find strength. To help someone or many ones out there who are victimized daily. Anyone who can relate to anything in this fictional adaptation of events I hope you found a voice or again find you in some peace and a return to be able to smile and shine. Was there I know what happened and anyone could verify this stuff easy enough but chose not to. Stop the lies. I was even accused by name of being a rapist on one of the movie forums. By name. Their entire story trying to explain the truth about what happened had absolutely no clue any of what happened. Then ironically enough they became my abuser falsely blaming my involvement in any of the events. We had never met yet. And if any of the lies were true I ask you to think about it.... we would have never reconnected got married and had children. I don't deserve any of this garbage. I was the calm in her storm. I am an honorable guy and a loving daddy. I am considering litigation against the user that publicly falsely and with malice intent coupled with ignorance and a motivation to find personal relevance and inject themselves in other people's lives. I hope you understand the pain spreading lies and untruths can and have caused my good name, to destroy my reputation, attack my character, and hurt me online to any up to potentionally every person on the planet whom has or will use the internet in the future to find is going to come with legal consequences . A good person would not do that. Libel and slander are malicious and have caused unretractable harm toward me and my children. Irreparable harm and public shame. I would like to forgive you someday if you admit your grievous mistakes and recant these vile accusations immediately and apologize publicly. There is nothing in this post that I cannot prove with documented evidence. Thank you. And please think twice before attacking anyone's character online publicly. Once you type the damage cannot be fixed or removed. If this post is not approved to let help right the wrong, you can also expect a lawsuit. Be in life a person worthy of being remembered. She did suffer that is the truth. But I loved her then and still do today.
