That just seems weird.

It’s tough to comprehend at first. Guess we first have to consider these guys have been celebrities in most cases since their teens. Making aggressive moves has probably worked fine for them many times. Then factor in an attractive, but approachable woman who they are one on one with on a daily basis taking measurements, trying on clothes, etc. A lot of potential for this kind of thing over a ten year window.

Yet it didn't bother her until she was released for stealing clothes from the wardrobe.
I have no doubt some or most of what she alleges occurred. My question is why does it all of a sudden bother her enough to report it now when it did not over the last 10 years?

Most likely, she didn’t report it for fear of losing her job.

Since Weinstein, the climate has shifted dramatically.

She filed a suit in early October that claimed she was unjustly fired. She went to the network brass and told them about the harassment and according to her and her lawyers, they made up a bogus story about her stealing clothes in order to dismiss her.

After the Weinstein deal blew up, which has now grown to scores of famous people involve in sexual harassment, her lawyers re-filed the case. Apparently, the NFL Network could no longer “sweep her under the rug”.

In addition to have digital information, she also claims that other employees will corroborate her claims.

Those guys are ****ed.

I just don't know how many times this has to be answered. Victims of sexual assault and abuse often don't report out of shame or fear of reprisal. Sometimes it takes many years to feel comfortable enough to come forward. Add in that men in positions of real power are finally being held accountable, it's pretty obvious why a woman would have held back for years only to step forward now.
