lol. Because people aren't always rational. And what does the NYT or her fame have to do with it? Anyone can lie at any time. And accusing someone of lying isn't ad hominem.

believe the victim until there is proof they made it up.

victims making up stories in which they are the victim are exceedingly rare, in reality.

Not in my experience working retail/hospitality jobs. And lots of people crave attention. I see no reason to give either party more credence than the other absent evidence.

Innocent until proven guilty. Never believe someone accusing another without ample evidence.

It's clear you have never heard of "innocent until proven guilty", so I'll explain it to you. You're actually supposed to believe the person accused until they've been proven guilty.

Victims making up stories in which they are the victim is INCREDIBLY COMMON.
