I was a young woman in my early 20’s during this time, and I’m ashamed to say, I judged this girl so fucking hard. The way she acted, portrayed herself, just all around train wreck.
Being 37 now, with a child of my own.. what the fuck were we actually thinking when, as a society, tore this girl to shreds.. instead of holding Doug Hutchinson, a grown ass 51yo man accountable for marrying a 16yo CHILD?
I recently found her again on TikTok, and she seems to be working and healing her trauma, reconnected with her parents (that are also heavily to blame), and seems healthy.
How did we allow this to happen? In the spotlight nonetheless?

SS: the way we blamed her and ripped her to shreds in the media, yet didn’t hold this man accountable for anything, is absolute insanity.
Well 16 is legal age in most countries – it may not be moral for a man that age to be with one but while immoral it’s not illegal.
Same as prince Andrew. The girl was 17 at the time and while it’s creepy it’s not illegal.
At 16, for me anyway, I knew right from wrong and could make my own decisions.
I’m not saying I’m for this. But. Taking advantage of a 16 year old would be messing around with her and leaving. I mean he did marry her. I don’t think you should take advantage of women at any age especially underage. But he did marry her.
I don’t know the whole story on this btw. Idk anything about these people
