Her quote there sounds like hyperbole.

And wouldn't grabbing that much flesh in your hand hurt the other person? I just asked my girlfriend to try it and she yelped out in pain and discomfort. Wouldn't the other people there notice?

Tina and Tweeden are F-List celebrities trying to boost their image. They are willing to appear in front of millions on news shows, but testifying to an ethics committee would be "to difficult" for them (Tina's words)?

I swear that I am the only person who remembers the Duke Lacrosse Team case. Those young men's lives were ruined for years by a woman making false accusations of sexual assault. After that, I swore that I would never judge anyone on if they sexually harassed/assaulted anyone until I saw proof. And yes, that goes for Roy Moore as well.
