  1. She's a liar, a grifter, and a crook. It has nothing to do with sexism. She's a scammer and a theif!

  9. She's lying about the whole thing.

  10. antred11 She has garnered these "immature" comments by her attempts to manipulate an entire demographic for monetary gain. These are the fruits of her efforts.

  11. I don't even really believe she's a victim of a heinous crime. I think she made up the whole thing.

  12.  Jo Pearson  I'll say it: I don't believe she was attacked at all. Women can lie, you know. Especially women who write novels glamorizing the sexual assault and murder of a child and trying to market it as a cutesy YA romance ghost story. She's sick. Read her stuff.

  13.  @pookiesis1465  Men can't really share rape stories without being shamed, but it happens and men aren't allowed to complain. This dudes is melodramatic, bit it's true that the justice system is slanted against men.

  14. @Leanne Nope. She's the one who made millions of dollars on a bogus story she embellished for drama's sake.
    5
  15.  @samuellp1146  Yes. I believe she lied about that 100%.

  16. @Leanne So she should be made and example of.

  18.  @noshimoshi  How do we know she didn't lie about EVERYTHING?

  19.  @samuelgates5935  Women have lied, but not just white women. Remember the Lacrosse team that was lied about.

  20.  @barboralitvanova5111  I doubt everything she claims., too. Because she wrote a dramatized version of him just to sell her books, man. No trauma survivor wants to rehash the details, let alone EMBELLISH them just for drama's sake.

  21.  @barboralitvanova5111  People don't react to trauma by embellishing the details of the trauma for book sales. Doing that would be TRAUMATIC. And you're making excuses for a proven liar.

  22.  @barboralitvanova5111  She isn't a proven victim, or did you forget the "forensic evidence" has already been shown as unreliable? Stop trying to downplay what she did here by painting her as a victim. She sat and collected checks, and even exaggerated his life story to make it more dramatic. She LIED.
    4
  23.  @angellee356  Agreed. She glamorized a murder into a YA supernatural romance. Weird stuff.
    4
  24. @Betelgeuse Nah, they're trying so hard to still paint her as a victim here. Check out the comments they're disgusting. "THE POLICE BRAINWASHED HER!! SHE'S NOT RESPONSIBLE!!" Meanwhile she's making millions off a story she knew was false.

  25. I prefer seeing news people act like humans instead of AI

  27.  @critique0767  People are allowed to doubt the word of someone who lied for 16 years. I'm flat out saying it. She glamorized story the r4pe and murder of a child into a cutesy YA romance. Munchausen is a real mental illness.

  28.  @critique0767  I don't believe her and I doubt it ever happened. Clutch your pearls all you want. I'll say it again: I AM CONVINCED SHE LIED ABOUT THE WHOLE THING. She sat on this for 16 years and quietly collected checks while fabricating a nonexistent criminal history for him because it would sell her books better. I believe she LIED ABOUT EVERYTHING. Cry about it.

  29.  @honeypeaches7736  I doubt she was telling the truth about her rape. She lied to write a book. She glamorized the rape of a minor and then exaggerated the same thing with the innocent man. She's a liar and a malingerer who would lie about it for sympathy.

  30.  Jo Pearson  Honey, there are people who poison their own children for sympathy. And that report supposedly had Broadwater's DNA in it, and now it's disregarded. Yes, sick people are willing to self harm to get attention and sympathy. Yes, I believe that she is one of those people.

  31.  Jo Pearson  What doesn't "make sense" is why you're trying so hard to allow her to shirk responsibility for her actions. Alice....is that you?

  32. Women of color aren't safe either. Ever see Victoria Secret Karen? She assaulted a black woman,and both the cops and employees told the black woman she was in the wrong for "bothering" her.

  33. @Leanne I have a vag. And calling this disgusting woman out for the horrible thing she's done IS NOT MISOGYNY. Sit down because you don't get to speak for all women.

  34. @Leanne Women like you disgust me. Trying to use our sex and gender as a "get out of responsibility free" card. Go sit on a tack. You're part of the problem.

  35.  @samuellp1146  Innocent until proven guilty. That's how it works.

  36. @Leanne She didn't "clearly misidentify" his fictional criminal history. Nice try though. She BLATANTLY FABRICATED IT to make him seems more like a villain....to sell her books

  37.  @ChicaMaria61  How are we better? Easy. We didn't falsely accuse anyone and ruin their lives for 40 years. That's how we're better.

  38.  @fugosfork7907  She's biologically male, but still a transwoman.

  40. mirzamay So according to you, democrats are against guns therefore will NEVER have cognitive dissonance of and ends to a means? Fool.

  41.  @noshimoshi  You act as if lying about rape is impossible.
    2
  42.  @critique0767  Nope. That's not how justice even as a philosophy works, and if you were on the receiving end of a false accusation, you would want to be innocent until PROVEN GUILTY. FFS this hurts real victims so much! Women like her make it scary for real victims to tell their stories.

  43.  @Melissa-hd3jr  I doubt the entire story. Especially since the "rape kit" was proven to be inaccurate.

  44.  @ChicaMaria61  I don't care of what you're tired of. You're making excuses for this woman who profited off of maligning an innocent man by fabricating a criminal history for dramatic effect to sell books. Trauma survivors wouldn't do that. I don't believe she was actually raped, but that she glamorizes the idea of it (as shown in her books).

  45.  @ChicaMaria61  Women who suffer from Munchausen syndrome do lie about sexual assault and fabricate stories of how victimized they were for sympathy. I believe she is one of these women. Why else would she be trying to make so much money off of a supposed trauma, meanwhile inventing ways to make it more dramatic? She wanted money and attention.
    2
  46.  @ChicaMaria61  How do you know it "was a fact" when even the supposed forensic evidence is now no longer reliable? How do you know it "was a fact" when previously she stated "it was a fact" that he was her attacker? It doesn't add up at all.

  47.  @CyanideSunshines  You're only making excuses for her because she's white.
    2
  48.  @CyanideSunshines  "Not everything is about color!" said the white woman who benefits from being a protected class in society. If you cry crocodile tears and point a finger of blame at anyone, they're bound to rot for 16 years, too. You know it. You LOVE IT. I see right through you, Gemma. Of course you want Sebold to dodge responsibility. You're her same demographic.

  49.  @miguelbermudez5426  Nope. She wont be held accountable because she's a white woman.

  50. Women who suffer from Munchausen syndrome do lie about sexual assault and fabricate stories of how victimized they were for sympathy. I believe she is one of these women. Why else would she be trying to make so much money off of a supposed trauma, meanwhile inventing ways to make her "villain" sound more evil by creating a fictional past, just to make it more dramatic? She wanted money and attention. She knew on one would think twice of convicting a black man. She called the book "Lucky". She was lucky everyone bought it.
