a black MALE), this would not even be an issue discussed. PERIOD

It is blatant racist sexism layered and effused with ugly attitudes toward women who do not meet fascist controlling XIAN men's concept of "chaste." And there have long been nasty racist depictions of ALL black women as hypersexualized.

Every damned bit of this is at play and there is no damned way it would have been discussed if the prosecutor were male.

I'm not saying I don't think Willis was foolish not to have taken this into account and deferred from giving anyone anything to use against her (as would have been the case for me in her shoes), but it would appear that she's fed up with this and refused to bow to those who perpetuate such racist misogyny.
