I hate doubting these type of allegations but the timing and civil suit seem suspicious

Ben was suspended for a pattern of behavior without being convicted of or charged with anything. At what point is Brown’s behavior bad
-Facebook live
-trashing the Steelers & Ben, forcing a tarde
-furniture off the balcony
-lawsuits for non-payments
-100 mph speeding in Pittsburgh
-helmet gate
-screaming at Mayock
-threatening Mayock
-posting the Raiders fine letter on Instagram
-recording and posting a conversation with Gruden
-and now a sexual assault allegation
Ben was suspended for less
At the time, I remember it being reported that it was the Rooney's that pushed the league for Ben's suspension. The line was that they wanted to give him something longer than the 4 game max the team could impose. That always seemed reasonable to me, and my guess is that the league wouldn't have done anything if they weren't asked.
The new standard of the NFL seems to be something like videos or it didn't happen (unless you're an owner and then videos don't count either).

Well, as she explained, the first 2 incidents weren't physical/violent assaults. I'm not saying I believe either side but the way she's describing it, she was able to get past the unwanted kiss & the unwanted deposit on her back. But the last one, she says, was forcible rape.

Gisele must be so happy with Tom for inviting this freak show to come live at their house
