黴黴遭遇“鹹豬手”,反被告上法庭...

推薦人: 來源: 閱讀: 5.81K 次

忙着戀愛,忙着新專輯,黴黴已經好久沒有出現在大衆視野裏了。而前幾天她又出來了——打官司。這個官司源於2013年,於2015年開始,到2017年才正式開庭。

黴黴遭遇“鹹豬手”,反被告上法庭...

2013年6月,Taylor Swift在美國科羅拉多州的丹佛巡演時,和一個之聲主播David Mueller合影。在拍照時,David Mueller把手伸進了Taylor的裙底,並觸摸了她的臀部。

事後,黴黴把這事兒告訴了自己的安保團隊。安保人員和David Mueller進行對質,並永久禁止其進入黴黴的演唱會現場。這事兒很快就傳開了,David Mueller名聲掃地。他不僅被之聲開除,還一直找不到工作,生活很拮据。

David Mueller因此很不甘心。2015年,他否認了自己的性騷擾行爲,反而把黴黴一行人告上了法庭。他表示自己是被誹謗的,並索賠300萬美元(約2000萬人民幣)。

Mueller had first sued the singer, her mother and radio promotions director Frank Bell in 2015. He had accused them of interfering with his $150,000-a-year contract as a radio DJ in Denver by pressuring his employer, KYGO radio, to fire him.

對於這種人,黴黴忍不了了!她立刻反訴David Mueller性騷擾,並要求他賠償1美元。

The pop star has accused David Mueller of reaching under her dress and grabbing her buttocks while they posed for a photograph together backstage at one of Swift's concerts four years ago. Mueller has denied the claim, which he said led to him getting fired. He sued Swift, prompting her to countersue.

1美元,只是象徵性索賠,更重要的是得到他的認錯—— I AM SORRY 。

2年後——2017年8月,案子終於開庭了。8月7日聽證會當天,黴黴受到很多人的支持。大家紛紛都來排隊。

在對面大廈的玻璃上,貼出黴黴的歌詞助威。

黴黴本人則低調地出席了這次聽證會。因爲聽證會錄像未公開,一名參與的工作人員畫出了當時的素描。在Twitter上有人也公佈了部分細節。

在聽證會上,David Mueller否認了自己的性騷擾行爲。他的律師舉出了很多細節,來表示David Mueller沒有性騷擾。英語君整理了其中3點。

①裙子質地偏硬,需彎腰

Mueller的律師表示:黴黴的裙子硬地和燈罩一樣,只有彎下腰才能把手伸進裙子裏。

當時,Mueller並沒有彎下腰。

In his closing argument, Mueller's attorney Gabriel McFarland said Swift's skirt was stiff like a lampshade, meaning: 'He would have had to bend down to put his hand under her skirt.'


②黴黴和Mueller並不靠近

Mueller的律師表示:照片中,黴黴是處於兩人中間,她和Mueller並不靠近。

He also said she was positioned in the center of the frame, implying she wasn't actually leaning away


③黴黴照片中笑地很開心

Mueller的律師還質疑照片中斯威夫特的風範。照片中的黴黴似乎笑地很開心,不像是受到性騷擾的樣子。

McFarland also questioned Swift's demeanor in the photo.

對此,Taylor Swift一方也做出了迴應。英大整理出了主要的2點。

①黴黴感受到了他的性騷擾

黴黴在法庭上說:“這是明確的抓取,持續了很久。因爲時間夠長,所以我完全肯定他是故意的。”同時表示,自己和這個人不認識,不會故意冤枉他。

“It was a definite grab, [a] very long grab,” Swift said in court.“It was long enough for me to be completely sure it was intentional.”


②照片表情不對,就不是騷擾?

黴黴的律師表示:“當有人抓你的屁股,你會是什麼反應?你會(在照片中)震驚嗎?”律師認爲泰勒 · 斯威夫特的臉沒什麼不對的。

黴黴則表示自己當時和觀衆在拍照,後面還有很多歌迷等着,只能暫時忍下來。

“Is that the face of someone who’s had someone grab their butt?“There’s nothing in Taylor Swift’s face to suggest anything is wrong.”


對於對方律師提出的“黴黴和Mueller並不靠近”。黴黴表示,就是因爲受到了騷擾所以才更靠近左邊(照片中也確實是靠左)。

最後,法院判決Taylor Swift勝訴。

Taylor Swift發表了自己對這事兒的感受:

I want to thank Judge William J. Martinez and the jury for their careful consideration, my attorneys Doug Baldridge, Danielle Foley, Jay Schaudies and Katie Wright for fighting for me and anyone who feels silenced by a sexual assault, and especially anyone who offered their support throughout this four-year ordeal and two-year long trial process.

我要感謝法官William J. Martinez和陪審團的慎重考慮。感謝我的律師Doug Baldridge、 Danielle Foley、Jay Schaudies和Katie Wright爲我和所有受到性騷擾而不被重視的人戰鬥。尤其感謝那些在四年的痛苦和兩年冗長的審判過程中,一直支持我的人。


I acknowledge the privilege that I benefit from in life, in society and in my ability to shoulder the enormous cost of defending myself in a trial like this. My hope is to help those whose voices should also be heard.

我感謝自己在各方受到的優待,這使我有能力去承擔在審判中捍衛自身權利要付出的巨大代價。我希望自己能幫助那些“無法發聲”的受害者。


Therefore, I will be making donations in the near future to multiple organizations that help sexual assault victims defend themselves.

因此,在不久的將來,我會向相關組織捐款,向那些性侵犯受害者提供幫助。
