00:00Certainly for victims and survivors, it definitely has a chilling effect, which is, if this can happen to someone of
00:10that stature, what could happen to me?
00:14This is happening every day. Victims and survivors across the world are facing their own backlash from an abusive person
00:29and the control of different systems to keep control of that person, but also society's response to them.
00:41It's been very disheartening. I don't think we have a society yet that understands the dynamics of domestic violence, and
00:48if you're going to televise it, you need to already know that domestic violence is going to be such a
00:53huge element of it, and you make sure that there are people present that understand that, and until you do
00:59that, let's not televise this.
01:02It also opens up victims to what we saw having to misheard. It also allows abusers to manipulate.
01:12We have to understand, particularly in celebrity-like cases, how that influences our culture.
01:26And this is a perfect example of a case influencing a culture, and I don't know that we'll know tomorrow
01:34what that influence has been and how much impact it's had, either positively or negatively.
