I wonder if Linda Reynolds has considered the very real possibility that he chose that location (of her office) in part as a F**K YOU to herself. Stay with me here: Remember, Linda had just called him into that office, dressed him down, humiliated him, & fired him. And why? /
Bc he & another male staffer had been "dobbed in" by a "feminazi" who had been so upset & so uncomfortable with BL's inappropriate advances to the "new girl" who might be joining their office (BH) that "the feminazi" had literally resigned in disgust. But Reynolds had rejected
That resignation. And instead Reynolds had called in BL & the other male colleague & berated them. Now how would a man like Lehrmann take that? Being told off by a female boss? Being humiliated? Policed for his sexual desires? And then being fired? And then imagine he sees
the young woman who he was fired "over" (of course she had no idea of any of that context). Is there not the slightest chance that raping BH in LR's office was not just about being "hell bent" on satisfying his own base urges, but also being hell bent on getting 1 over on Linda?
*apologies as others have pointed out he was given a strong warning at this stage (not fired.... But obviously my point remains the same... This was about power. Resenting Linda's power. Resenting the young woman who "dobbed", resenting the young woman he was attracted to, /
@ninafunnell It’s about exerting his power and territory so gross 🤮
@ninafunnell Reckon you’re spot on there Nina! Absolutely consistent with his personality
@ninafunnell Pathological misogynist, or is this something else?
@ninafunnell I've thought this for ages; after all, he was leaving anyway, but had been very recently disciplined for a security breach; it was a way of "getting back" somehow at his employers? Using the hapless & naive junior staffer in a cynical way? IMHO fits exactly with his arrogance.
@ninafunnell I've known men like that and I think you're spot on.
