Cissy's note: Another great interview with @Louise Godbold keeping the conversation centered on survivors, the ACEs study, healing, and change. She talks about how "trauma begets trauma.," in a way that gives a wider context and remains hopeful. I'm so grateful for Louise and her tireless work and insights, even when it means making herself vulnerable and allowing us to get beyond headlines to understand, at every step the experiences of survivors who come forward as well as organizations working to make change. This one is on Law and Crime.
Louise Godbold, an alleged victim of Harvey Weinstein, criticized his defense attorney Donna Rotunno on Monday.
“I know the women who are testifying,” Godbold told Law&Crime Network host Linda Kenney Baden. “And I consider them extremely brave because Harvey’s defense lawyer obviously is not going to pull any punches, and she thinks because she’s a woman, she can get away with it, but it’s disgusting. It’s a disgusting way to treat sexual assault survivors and women who have so bravely come forward at great personal cost to their careers, to their relationships with their families, and sacrificing their privacy.”
Godbold has taken issue with Rotunno’s stance that, as a female defense lawyer, Rotunno can get away with being aggressive on cross-examination with female sexual assault accusers.
