Poor guy. He should come out as transgender then people might believe him.

A (white?) mans word means little these days. Dark times .

If this was an attempt at humor, it failed spectacularly.
If this was a display of your mentality, it failed spectacularly.

There's alot of cases where it's false and the person made the accusation for money or to get attention of some sort. I'm always skeptical of this stuff by default. What's weird in this situation is that he was "fired immediately after making the accusation" and was given just 20k as hush money by sony. 

The ratio of false claim to real/unreported claims is staggering in favor of the latter.  Skepticism should never be your default.  It's why so many go unreported.  Why bother when people aren't going to believe you anyway?

A rate between 2% and 10%, depending on the study, of demonstrably false claims should not be your default position.  Since 1989, only 52 people have been exonerated from prison due to a false accusation.

Nonsensical as usual. "Skepticism should never be your default"? Oh really. Isn't skepticism the basis of how justice in the entire world works? Someone reports a crime, it's investigated in every way to lead to the culprit and to ensure there's no room for doubt in their guilt or innocence. You can't take someone's word on face value when it comes to justice. Anything said as to be treated as questionable unless it's verified. In situations like this, anything the accuser and the accused says has to be looked into before you treat what is said as fact or true because it would be assuming the accused is guilty until proven otherwise.
