As someone who knew Ms. Los Rios told me recently. “It was either going to be Derrick or someone else. This was her way of getting out of the bind she was in. Derrick just had the most money and treated her pretty crappy, so she figured he would settle for a couple of million, which is pennies for him.”
hopefully Rose learns from his mistakes. Im happy this mess is over
due to his stupid behavior he missed the entire preseason with the knicks so this has hurt the knicks, who really have no room for error since they're two weeks behind everyone else and are projected to win around 40 games.
Because defending oneself from Rape accusations is less important than meaningless pre season basketball games? Just Genius.
the stupid behavior was getting involved with this girl, and surrounding himself with stupid enablers. defending yourself against rape is a result of this stupid behavior, costing his team two weeks of important work. preseason is important when you are a new team. come on!
Again, you seem to be glossing over the fact he was defending himself of a false rape charge? Not because he was just dending himself from opinions about his private sex life. And ofcourse it was stupid behavior but not one that justifies false rape accusations to extort money. This is just as appalling as it minimizes the validity of those true victims and puts an innocent mans life in jeapordy for the mere sake of money. This was something worth fighting even if it took a whole NBA season. So comparing defending himself to missing pre season basketball is a very short sighted fanatical view.
in this life it matters who your friends are, the people you get involved with, etc. etc. he needs new friends and needs to get straight with himself about his feelings towards women. imagine if he had different friends and a right relationship to women-- this would never have happened.
that's the issue here, because it affects his work and his co-workers.
Still avoiding the whole "defending himself from fraudelent charges" thing. To put it in prospective so you can understand...are you perfect? Isort your private life irreproachable? bet your internet browser historu would disagree? And what if some money grabbing women wanted to profit from your personal habits or something you did with her because she needed the money. You would pay her a gew million and go to a pre season Knick game instead of defending yourself? Stop pretending Rose is the only single guy in the NBA sleeping around in some less traditional ways. Your just upset the narrative you tried to put on him has been ruined.
i am speaking about him from my own experience. i surrounded myself with the wrong "friends" and also was falsely accused of something or being someone, and it took a while to get the situation settled. i have since moved on, found new friends.
that's all i am going to say on the matter.
From my understanding, he told the friends she was a "jump off" and they saw how loose she was overall, not because of no drinks. We no absolutel nothing about his friends, so to discredit them as thugs of some sort, is narrow minded call.
Its like you have an agenda against Rose like you had with Melo.
