What are all of you insinuating in here?
I always offer people that accuse me off wrongdoing £650,000 even tough I didn’t do anything. It’s nice to share with others.

I would guess it’s a “prid pro quo” situation in all honesty, they where both grown adults and lead each other on.
Wrong? Perhaps not.
Innocent and not on the edge or extramarital? Absolutely not.
Unlawful? Probably not.
While it’s suspect on the surface, offering a financial settlement is a very common tactic in regards to avoiding backlash, regardless of whether you are actually guilty or not. Now I’m not saying for a second that him being cleared must mean he is innocent, but the money being offered really isn’t evidence of any guilt like you’d think it would be.
Yep. People tend to forget this a lot. Even if a story is entirely false, the damage it can do before anyone figures that out is usually far higher than whatever money they offer up front.
Possibly, but it’s unlikely we will ever hear the facts of this case, I mean we still haven’t had confirmation that the misconduct was even sexual in nature, it was first reported as him bullying a reporter if I’m not mistaken and without the facts we can’t say what motivated her to reject the settlement offer.
For those who don’t know: the Telegraaf is a “newspaper” which is involved in a lot of gossip and right-wing fearmongering. Not as bad as British tabloids though. https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/de-telegraaf/
Sounds like the plaintiff’s case was far from rock solid but RB/Horner realized it would create a lot of undesired attention once it hit the news (and it did) and tried to buy their way out of it.
I’m really curious as to what went down. Texts, remarks, touchy-feely in the office…
Oh well… until something new surfaces, it’s race week!
Yeah, in all honesty, unless he did something criminal (and even then dependent on what he actually did do) and was convicted for it I couldn’t care less.
Who he sleeps with, spanks, share nudes with or get dominated by is pretty irrelevant to me.
Will be interesting to see if Newey cracked the code with pod less design.

Bury it and move on.

The woman rejecting it would be a very bizarre move if she knew she had no evidence, though.
Surely she, rightly or wrongly, thinks she has an ironclad case to turn down that amount of money?
Of course, that’s assuming there was a shush money offer.

Did anyone actually confirm he offered 650K hush money or did it come from the same sources that have been proven wrong now?
All rumors from the Telegraaf as far as I can tell.

No idea, could be total lies.
