ETA: where was she if she was suppose to shadow Corinne? Knowing Corinne's behaviour I'd be constantly with her if she was my responsibility.

I think most likely once the producer Shelby lodged a complaint directly to Warner Bros...that to cover their bases they shut down production to avoid further liability as they suss the situation for a factual timeline of what actually occurred.
I would think that the footage aired would tell a fairly accurate story, as well as the witnesses who were present at the incidents.

RS's account seems rather credible IMO. It certainly gives a larger overview of the entire day IMO.

They don't usually ask that after a hookup

Sorry, I can't side with anyone here. Each side has a part in this cluster fork. Production we know is sleazy. That is a given. Nothing new. Unfortunately, if this goes to trial and I hope it does not, it's going to get dirty for all parties. The gloves will come off.

Unfortunately, the alleged Corrine/DeMario situation happens every day at colleges across the country.
Girl and guy get drunk. There is no blatant “yes” for sexual contact, and no blatant “no” indicating either party wishes to stop. They have sexual contact. Once inebriation wears off, one party realizes things went further than they would have liked (for many different reasons: they found out the other was a scumbag, they have a BF/GF already, they simply regret it, etc). Charges for sexual assault are filed.
Many times it’s a simple he said, she said. Unfortunately in the court of public opinion, once a person is thought of as a rapist, it sticks and destroys their life.
Far too often men get permanently labeled as sex offenders, when in reality the woman simply later regretted letting it go that far.
Don’t get me wrong, sexual assault is a horrible, awful crime and men/women who force sexual contact with others are the scum of the earth. But situations like what has been described for Corrine/DeMario is not sexual assault. As much of a scumbag DeMario might be (going on Bachelorette with a GF back home), I hope he doesn’t get stuck with the label of a rapist.
