Why women don’t “just report it.”
Sean “Diddy” Combs faced accusations of trafficking, drugging and violent abuse.
Multiple lawsuits, settlements, CCTV, witnesses…
In the end?
One conviction: 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗶𝘁𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻
Meanwhile, the President of the United States a convicted felon and civilly liable s*xual abuser
Voters put him back in office
So when you ask:
“Why didn’t she go to the police?”
“Why wait so long?”
Here’s the answer:
Power protects power
𝗥𝗼𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗣𝗼𝗹𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗸𝗶 – admitted s*x with a 13-year-old, fled the US, still collects film awards
𝗥𝗼𝗹𝗳 𝗛𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗶𝘀 – assaulted girls for years, served < 3 years, died peacefully
𝗝𝗶𝗺𝗺𝘆 𝗦𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗹𝗲 – abused hundreds; institutions stayed silent until he was in the grave
𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗱 𝗘𝘃𝗮𝗻𝘀 – r**e conviction quashed; straight back to football and TV
𝗠𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻𝘄𝗼𝗼𝗱 – arrested for attempted r**e; charges dropped, salary continues
𝗞𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗻 𝗦𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲𝘆 – acquitted in London; comeback already brewing
𝗖𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀 𝗕𝗿𝗼𝘄𝗻 – history of violence; world tour sells out anyway
Money scrubs reputations
Fame rewrites history
Survivors are left labelled “liabilities”
Victims stay silent because justice is a gamble: speak up, be cross-examined, discredited, threatened
And if you’re still buying tickets to Chris Brown?
Hope the beat drowns out your conscience
