I don't believe any of us know how common or rare it is but im leaning towards it being not nearly as rare as you think b/c most multi-millionaires in those positions either pay to keep it quiet in some form or fashion, or commit other heinous & less than savory acts like blackmail, to keep their reps in tact & money flowing. It is also a well known fact that these guys are in fact targets. Their salaries are published in the newspaper for gods sake. ESPN 30 for 30 Broke explains it better...NSFW
All it takes is for 1 of these rando encounters to not go quite right & you can easily get caught up.
So it is easygetting allegations lobbed at you....making the allegations stick is the hard part. & some of their counterparts taking payments and staying quiet & not reporting it immediately....along with the alleged victims themselves also undergoing other questionable acts after the alleged incidents happen with the same individual is where the credibility problems tend to lay imo.
Weinstein operated with relative impunity for decades.
So did Nygard.
So did Epstein.
Can you imagine the media firestorm MJ would've faced had his baby mama in hiding had alleged he assaulted/raped her?
In all these instances, it wasn't simply b/c the women/girls were afraid to come forward. Many came forward immediately and were not believed like we all know happens....but alot of them too
chose to just take the money, promotion or whatever & kept it moving. Now, speaking objectively, there are some of us who would look at that and say its b/c they all were afraid/shamed they wouldn't be believed etc...but there's at least another way to interpret it too in that maybe they
were just trying to come up.
Hell Nygard's baby momma
KNEW dude was a creep...His name had been circulating in the super model circles for decades.... but he threw enough money at her & she accepted the contract anyway....wound up getting knocked up by him.
America's sweetheart Matt Laurer accused of anal rape....but that
same female acknowledged other "transactional" sexual encounters happened with him after the rape.
So what's someone on the outside really supposed to believe when they hear something like that?
