She is a liar and an embarassment. End of story…..
Except.
It’s America and she has every right to peddle a book to the saps who are sucker enough too buy it.
Carl G,
Those boys are liars and an embarrassment to Duke that’s why they paid her off.. End of story…..
Except.
Thank God this is America where a sap and a sucker like you can post ignorance freely!
Tom, Carl G….. Hmmmm….. Sound like Two Duke Alumni to me?
What do you think America?
I will not buy the book because if she was paid off to lie then how do you know she is going to be truthful in the book. Its amazing how you sell your sole to the devil for a dollar bill. If you are raped and taken advantage of then no amount of money would have persuaded me to change my story.
Diane:
I agree with you on the merits of the ‘accuser.’ Her credibility is non-existent. I would believe Jose Canseco over the ‘accuser’ any day. There will be many on here that want to believe the idea that she was paid off by the rich white people, and that she was the victim. There are many biased individuals living in denial…that think people in the inner cities draw rainbows and live nice innocent lives.
What does the book even say? That she received money from the duke player’s parents??
If she was actually the victim, why did the investigators find no proof? The accused players had alibis…one went to an atm with a cab driver around the time the accuser said the ?@%* occurred. There WAS BODILY FLUID FOUND IN THE ACCUSER FROM SEVERAL DIFFERENT MEN. Yeah, her credibility is PHENOMENAL. STAY IN DENIAL.
Im sorry but so many of you see this case for what it appears and have jumped the gun. I know that in situations like this people are quick to assume that because the charges were dropped, and being a white on black case people assume that the rich white kids (or parents) paid off the poor black stripper, but please take the time to look at the case yourself. her prosecuting lawyers were disbarred for violations of law ethics – an EXTREMELY serious charge that demonstrates just how wrong they got it. He even did time in jail for lying and unethical conduct.
Hey dont get me wrong, they are (as someone said) NO angels however they did not *$$$ ms mangum. this has been proved by both prosecuters unethical and eventual misleading conduct and also by the defense lawyers, who are now seeking defamation damages against the police department.
Now i am not saying that rich white kids have not paid off others in the past, however this was not the case this time. look at the case on its individual merits, and not on historical cases.
Tawjec”RJ” Johns,
Tom, Carl G….Hmmmm…..definitely sounds like Duke alumni types…especially considering the strong defense of those poor sweet little innocent lacrose boys. LOL

Who do you believe? 3 men going to a great institution like Duke OR a stripper with great inconsistencies in her story; that got the Dist. Attorney fired b/c she lied, and had no actual proof; and is now writing a book to make money????
Stay in denial…that’s what you do best.
Sound like to me she will get to tell the story that she was paid under the table for. The story needs to be told, for you own peace of mind. The pay off
was for the boys parents peace of mind. Get all the money, they all got some honey. Fair exchange, ain’t no robbery.
It doesn’t state here that she is saying she got paid off (in the book). The case was thrown out not by the accuser, it was dismissed by the Att General’s office….there WAS NO SUBSTANTIAL PROOF. One of the 3 men was in a cab taking money out of the atm when she said it happened. She had multiple men’s fluids in her…none of which was of the 3 lacrosse players.
She is a liar with no credibility. There will be some on here that love to stand up for other Blacks even when there is hard proof that he/she is at fault…but that just shows you the ‘OJ syndrome’ of many in the Black community. SHE HAD LITTLE TO DO WITH THE CHARGES BEING DROPPED (OTHER THAN LYING)…THEY WERE DROPPED BY THE CITY B/C THERE WAS NO PROOF!!
Theodore I agree with you!! This Carl G guy is a joke!!! He doesn’t even know how to spell….thank you for spelling embarrassement right cause he didn’t and “too” is not the correct form of to that he should have used. Don’t try to come on here and down anyone unless you know what the HELL you are talking about and unless you know how to spell…jackass
UMlaw, as usual when black people don’t think the way you want you say they are stupid or in DENIAL. Really you are the one in DENIAL of the fact that you don’t understand what goes on in the black community. An quoting YOUR VERSION of legal BS to us is a waste of time because the judicial system doesn’t always serve fair justice to us.
Affirmative action is the only way blacks can go to those schools and take spots meant for more qualified Asians like myself. Asian Americans are model citizens who don’t commit crimes, work very hard, get excellent educations and don’t drink KOOL-AIDE. We worship the Sun and are too smart to believe in God like blacks do. We know that religion is falsehood created by people who don’t know any better. I’m so glad I was born Asian and not black. Black people are lazy, irresponsible and uneducated. They like to deflect blame onto white people and are in DENIAL about racism. They want things handed to them on a silver platter without earning it. You got welfare, affirmative action and NAACP and BET what else to do want?????
HERE YOU GO AGAIN UMLAW WITH THAT SAME OLD RACIST CRAP! WHEN WILL YOU LEARN THAT YOU CAN NOT COME BET BLOGS AND DISRESPECT BLACK COMMUNITY AND THEN EXPECT US TO RESPECT YOU OR YOUR OPINIONS?
GET SOME HELP FOR YOUR PERSONAL ISSUES, HYPOCRITE!
yo umlaw you a punk hiding behind a computer talkin shyt!

First of all I would just like to say theres no amount of money that would never make me go against the truth. Crystal you should search your soul over twice before putting your tell all book out there like that. Think of yourself and ask yourself are you being fair to you. It,s better to be honest than to lie thats something that you will have to live with the rest of your life.
If she lied the Creator will deal with her. I hope that whatever the situation may have been I hope no more lives will be ruined because of this.

So much ignorance on this board, it’s shocking. Her story was entirely discredited by DNA evidence, which was non-existent and her constantly changing story. She has convictions for prostitution and she falsely accused someone of %@%# before. But it’s the rich white boys and their parents who are at fault? This largely white country is about to elect a black man president and there are still ignorant race baiters out there who want to make a stone cold case of false accusal simply because the accuser is black and the accused were white? Now that should be shocking.
