I&#x27;m pretty sure the argument here was that most people would believe someone that is close to them. Someone that they know, someone that they trust.<p>However that wouldn&#x27;t, and shouldn&#x27;t be extended to a stranger without proof. Especially in regards to career damaging allegations and even more so after an independent investigation turned up nothing to substantiate her claims (other than TPW&#x27;s wife working too closely within the company).
