This was a very weird case. It's clear that he was abusive but this wasnt a Harvey Weinstein or Bill Cosby kind of hotel room rape either. All of these women were in consensual relationships with him, and continued to stay with him even after he locked them up in his Bad Girls room, or whipped them. The guy is clearly crazy and was very open about almost all of this stuff even in interviews. No one cared back then because everyone knew the girls he was dating were crazy enough to be with a guy who had AIDS written over his bed, vagina pics and blood everywhere in his house. Evan Rachel Wood married him despite all of this and of course ten years later she realizes it was abusive, and it clearly was, but that was literally the nature of their relationship.
The man is a psychopath and made a career out of it. He also used it to get troubled women in bed. Some stayed with him for 2 years like that game of thrones actress. ERW actually fucking married him. You gotta wonder just wtf were they thinking. They might be able to cancel him, but there is no way they are going to convince any jury that any of this wasnt consensual. He might actually win this case.
