Yikes at that last tweet, but I think it also shows the power dynamic of why people stay loyal to abusers, especially in the entertainment industry. She just said it outloud.

If I'm not making sense, forgive me. I'm still trying to wake up from my meds.

You're making sense, bb. It's true. She most likely didn't say anything, because of Diplo's position in the industry. Also she's a Black woman, so there's another layer of why she decided to stay mum. He's a powerful white man and we know how those who speak out often get treated by the industry and the public.

I hope that now that she opened the gate, that she'll slam open that door and spill since he acts like she doesn't exist.

She could've meant speaking up to defend his character, not the specific allegations. A lot of celebs who defend human-dumpster fire men do that too. "I've known him for years. He's the most caring, blah blah blah."

[slinkydinks]

Yeah, sorry, I got confused. I meant like, by her declining to speak on it with the interviewer, it was also a means of "staying loyal" by not drawing attention to it, even if she herself didn't know anything explicitly?

Makes me think of Doja and her contractual loyalty to Dr.Puke
