Like most of us, her opinion on Gomeshi comes from the accounts of the victims/accusers.

Not a victim and did she say she experienced no abuse?
Is some abuse short of a beating no abuse?

But the longer I was with him, the more he became something else. He would demand that I show him effusive public affection and get sulky if I said I was uncomfortable. He exploded at me if I changed our plans. One night, when we were kissing good-bye in his car, he pushed me up against the window so hard it hurt and wouldn’t let go until I struggled away from his hands

I read the commentary and saw her to be communicating a fair amount of corroborating or supporting information through her experience.
Seems, from reading, like her experience made the accounts plausible more so than the accounts shaping her narrative, no?
