This is a terrible position to take. Just because one person could have done this doesn't mean everyone can.

A lot of lawyers would at least hear her out free of charge, and a likely equal amount would see what a slam dunk case it would be in her favor, if everything she alleges in her post is true. The verbal stuff would definitely be trickier to prove without other witnesses coming forward, but I find it highly unlikely that all the mistreatment she suffered was done strictly verbally and there would likely be a paper trail for evidence. In which case, a lawyer would happily take payment after the courts awarded her reparations.

Look, I know this isn't easy and I completely understand why she was terrified of coming forward. I don't blame her at all. But acting like she should just silently suffer after that kind of abuse is just silly. I'm simply saying that now that she HAS come forward, she should hit up a lawyer and see if statute of limitations are applicable and if not, then sue the ever living shit out of LMG.

Assuming what she should do is the root of the problem.
