    This isn’t the first time Copperfield has faced allegations of sexual impropriety. Back in 2018, he vehemently denied similar accusations, stating on Twitter that he has endured years of false news stories about fabricated acts and emphasized his innocence.

    Sigh… I dunno, man.

    endured years of false news

    Why would there be so many false stories about one celeb and not others? It’s not proof and he should get a fair trial. It’s just odd that the same story would be falsely accused so many times. It certainly doesn’t look good.

      The cynic in me is like, what if these lawyers are strategizing like that? They know that if many people make the same claim it builds a stronger case.

      But the logical part of my brain says HMMM…, how plausible is that, really.

      I don’t know about this instance, but in the general, it could be that the person is a complete fucking douche, and people are trying to stick it to them however they can. That might mean lying, blowing things out of proportion, or just slightly twisting the truth.

      And once sharks smell blood, they swarm. One allegation will lead to another.

      Again, I don’t know the situation here and refuse to pick a side. Guilt is for the courts to decide. But there’s plenty of people who will lie, cheat, and steal for money or fame.
