9. Absolutely true. But there were public records and they were redacted. Oprah did the right thing.

Apparently there were friends who knew. But I'm going to have to weigh in on the side of the adults...from beginning to end...that must be first held responsible. A sexual survivor is victimized every day of his/her life. it is in the DNA, it is in the lack of boundaries, ad nauseum. Some things must come out in the light to be cleaned up. And the Cult of Secrecy and Entitlement at home, yet forced into the public to play a fake role for Fame and Money and God that was embedded in this entire family morass, obviously required public exposure.

I'm going to guess that these girls, whether now or later, will be glad to be rid of the forced double life lie they have always lived. Living a lie is a life-damning experience. And without the public, nothing...absolutely nothing...would have been done. She'd have kept popping out progeny as long as she could to bring in the money and the fame and fortune.
