Just looking at the personalities involved, it appears to me that the woman’s just a nut. We’ll see, they can’t allow this to stand unchallenged.
If she was a nut and there was nothing to these claims, CBS won’t have just given her her own show.
She was paid off.
Companies ‘pay off’ unfounded allegations all the time.
There are entire law firms that do nothing but pursue false allegations and greatly exaggerated claims to out of court settlements; where all parties agree to no wrongdoing but with large cash settlements.
Even 7 figure settlements can be less expensive than bad publicity.
Giving her a show that will get cancelled after a handful of episodes costs virtually nothing.
