[QUOTE="Crimson, post: 308270, member: 5079"] I know she published a modified version of MOMMIE DEAREST some years after the original; I haven't read it, but I don't think the changes were significant. When people talk about Christina's story changing, they usually mean her pre-MOMMIE DEAREST comments on Joan, which are vastly different than her later allegations. There are reasons both sympathetic and cynical to explain why her account changed, but it [I]did [/I]change. If the allegations were tried in a court of law rather than court of public opinion, I think Christina would have been shredded on the witness stand. Either Version A was untruthful or Version B was untruthful, but either way it puts a dent in her credibility. I don't disbelieve Christina in a broad way, but can still find her motivations and credibility to be shaky. And I have no answers here. I am sympathetic to victims, but also very wary of guilt-by-accusation. The MOMMIE DEAREST situation presaged the modern #MeToo dilemma by 40 some years. [/QUOTE]
