Speaker 1: It's time to get to a headline that broke earlier
Speaker 1: to day, literally about an hour or two ago, and
Speaker 1: that's a lawsuit filed against Zion Williamson of the New
Speaker 1: Orleans Pelicans alleging rape and kidnapping. The suit comes from
Speaker 1: a woman using the pseudonym Jane Doe, who claimed to
Speaker 1: be an ex girlfriend who alleged she dated Zion back
Speaker 1: at twenty eighteen when he played for Duke. Jane Doe
Speaker 1: alleges that in twenty twenty, a little over a year
Speaker 1: after Williamson left Duke to join the New Orleans Pelicans,
Speaker 1: the basketball star raped and assaulted her in southern California. Look, y'all,
Speaker 1: I have an obligation in front of this microphone to
Speaker 1: be very very careful. Rape is a very serious allegation.
Speaker 1: Sexual assaula is a very serious allegation, and we certainly
Speaker 1: don't want to summarily dismiss anybody making those claims because
Speaker 1: history has proven, according to stats and data, that many
Speaker 1: many times that women have been abused and assaulted, it's
Speaker 1: been years before the assaulters have been brought to justice
Speaker 1: in some kind of way. So we understand that, and
Speaker 1: we understand that the times that we're living in is
Speaker 1: by and large because of some involving no good ass
Speaker 1: men who would do such a heinous thing to a woman,
Speaker 1: And in other situations it's involving men who turned the
Speaker 1: blind eye and a deaf ear to it all. Now,
Speaker 1: there are plenty of men that have daughters, have sisters,
Speaker 1: that have wonderful moms, who love the women in their
Speaker 1: life and find and would never do such a thing
Speaker 1: and would be ready to kick anybody's ass who is
Speaker 1: guilty of such a thing. And I'm certainly one of
Speaker 1: those people. But I can't help but asking myself, what
Speaker 1: about the innocent ones? What about the ones who are
Speaker 1: falsely accused? That's why listen jay z was in the
Speaker 1: news months ago because of what he was accused of
Speaker 1: involving a thirteen year old girl, and he fought like hell,
Speaker 1: case ultimately dropped, and he's still going after Tony Busby,
Speaker 1: the lawyer representing the accused with the pseudonym, and we
Speaker 1: understand that and maybe Zion Williamson will go that route,
Speaker 1: maybe he won't. I just hate the fact that he's
Speaker 1: in the news years after being in the NBA for
Speaker 1: something that's alleged to have happened at least five years
Speaker 1: ago by an accuser whose name we do not know,
Speaker 1: and now he's in the news for being accused of
Speaker 1: this crime at some point in time. It's a lengthy discussion,
Speaker 1: and I welcome ladies coming on his growth associated with
Speaker 1: women's groups and what have you, coming on this show
Speaker 1: and talking about this subject, but also men who have
Speaker 1: been falsely accused. We don't know if that's the case
Speaker 1: with Zion or anybody else. We get that part, but
Speaker 1: that brother's had enough problem trying to get healthy to
Speaker 1: be on the basketball court so he can validate you
Speaker 1: know what. We all assumed he would be on the
Speaker 1: basketball court because he's a man amongst boys on the
Speaker 1: basketball court, make no mistake about it. And when healthy,
Speaker 1: he can do major major Damned. She's an all star
Speaker 1: caliber player. But he's never on a damn court, which
Speaker 1: is essentially ruined the Pelicans franchise because you can't rely
Speaker 1: on him. But you just find yourself saying, damn, damn.
Speaker 1: Another accusation. And again we don't know what the what
Speaker 1: the outcome will be. What we know is that until
Speaker 1: some outcome has decided, this accusation will be out there
Speaker 1: about him, and in all likelihood it will forever remain
Speaker 1: and this accusation will stain him. I just wish that
Speaker 1: we can come to conclusion sooner than later. And if
Speaker 1: somebody is innocent, particularly after being falsely accused, there's a
Speaker 1: price to pay for those who falsely accuse others. If
Speaker 1: you're guilty of such a thing, throw your ass under
Speaker 1: the jail. Rape, sexual assault, these unforgivable sins in some
Speaker 1: people's eyes. When you do that to a woman, you
Speaker 1: have murdered her, you have killed a part of her.
Speaker 1: And all of us who love women, love our sisters,
Speaker 1: love our daughters, love our mamas, etc. We ain't down
Speaker 1: for that. It ain't man who is. We should want
Speaker 1: nothing to do with. That's all I can say at
Speaker 1: this particular moment in time, because I don't have any
Speaker 1: evidence to speak on anything else other than say I
Speaker 1: hope he's innocent. I really do. I hope he wouldn't
Speaker 1: be guilty of such a thing. But it's in the news.
Speaker 1: It's in the news. Damn shame.
