Not the only issue people have issues with:

> Ritter filed a lawsuit in November that alleged Schmidt, a former chief executive and chairman of Google, “forcibly raped” her while on a yacht off the coast of Mexico in 2021.

> She also claimed they had sex without her consent during the 2023 Burning Man festival in Nevada.

Trying to wrap my head around how one can still be around someone in 2023 after what happened in 2021. This confusion no way justifies what happened nor am I blaming anyone. I just don't understand it.

Seriously, I just skimmed that LA Times article and wondering why isn't HN discussing this claim made by her?

quote: "She further alleged that Schmidt had built a “backdoor” to Google servers with a team of company engineers that allowed him to spy on her and anyone with a Google account."

When you have everything but can’t even keep your hands to yourself. Shameful.

So we’re just going to believe her? Why?
