re: Sharon Lewis took her bullshite lawsuit to a jury and lost like a dog

Do you think that was part of the conversation before declaring who is our AD? Do you think maybe it should have been?

because they knew she was full of crap and made bogus complaints frequently

Dude

She was beaten and had bruises all over her and was clearly raped. Watch it. And go look up Drake Davis the person you are now defending

Dude has multiple abuse arrests now and child pornography….LSU fricked up with epic proportions defending him because he was a football player and she just a tennis player . There were text messages that show lsu knew he hit her. Davis texted Verge directly stating this

She had broken ribs, photos of bruises all over , and texts from him saying he would kill her next time. The cops eventually arrested him for all of this


But yeh, she was making “bogus” claims.

She was full of shite and so were her loser plaintiffs lawyers. Jury deliberated less than three hours. Verge didn’t do nuffin. We riding.

---

So because Sharon Lewis’ case was dismissed, none of the stuff Verge already admitted to ever happened?

I’m not understanding the logic here. It’s entirely possible to think Sharon Lewis is crazy while also acknowledging it’s not a great look when your new AD ignored a text message from a player admitting he hit his girlfriend.. especially when it turns out the player broke her rib and then later tried to strangle her.

I don't know about this part of the story but after reading more, it appears that she didn't do a good job of reporting in a timely fashion. The Sells claim they didn't know anything until after a year later and that was only because a different investigation had been started. Her dad allegedly didn't say anything to the coaches about abuse. Supposedly, when Julia Sell did find out there might be something going on, she reported it to Seger.

It doesn't seem as simple as that. The prosecution alleged that abuse started in 2017 but Jade alleged 4 instances of abuse between 2017 and 2018. My question is why she allowed that to happen. If there was even 1 instance in 2017, I'm curious why she didn't report that to the police right then and hopefully prevent the subsequent instances. The police are not nearly as likely to sweep something like that under the rug.

From what I can find about the case, the investigative report stated that investigators could not definitively prove that Jade's dad explicitly reported the assault to coach Sell. It seems he merely told the coach he was only "concerned" about the relationship at that time.

Davis texted Verge directly stating this

I wonder if that happened in 2018 when the title IX investigation had started

I hate all that and am truly sorry for any pain she experienced. No one deserves to be abused and I hope Davis not only is held responsible but is able to turn his life around. Thanks for the additional perspective

Very sad. Fathers, make sure your daughters go into their relationships with open eyes.

Yep.

Said in another thread last night, media will be all over this. One response said to ignore it and they would move on to something else. Now I hate the media and when it’s them speculating, embellishing, getting their feelings hurt or outright lying as they often do, ignoring them is good strategy. But that isn’t the case here. There is real meat on the bone. This happened. They’re going to come down on individuals (especially coaches of women’s sports) who aren’t taking a stand against him being hired. And as I said before, they have a point.

Dude, drake davis the football player sent text messages to Verge himself saying he hit the tennis player

LSU knew this as well, which is why in 2020 verge was removed from the Search committee for the President, yet here now he leads the entire AD dept

quote:

So you went straight from “she was making bogus domestic abuse complaints constantly” to “she should have told them about it sooner”?

A lot of posters here have sub 100 iq. This is not surprising.

I never denied that

I never denied this either, although the timing of when it was known is what I found puzzling. That's all

I am absolutely not defending him and from what I've read about the case, I can't understand how there weren't numerous better options. It's bad optics in addition to him possibly being negligent about reported abuse.

I used to work with Sharon Lewis, and I could say something about her here that shows she, too, is a rules for thee but not for me person, but I wont for the following reasons:

1. It's my word against hers. I can't prove it unless a certain former player happens to remember, which he won't
2. It happened in 2013 so a long time ago
3. It potentially could get LSU into recruiting violation trouble (unless there's a statue of limitations, I honestly don't know)
4. She'd probably want to sue me since I can't prove it
5. I'd probably get banned for spewing unprovable details of how she forced me to do something that was absolutely against my job description and NCAA rules at the time
6. It involves a pretty well-known former player


Just know that Sharon Lewis, although she was a nice lady and worked her arse off for LSU football, does indeed frick up in her professional life and doesn't care about the rules. She's not what she cracks herself up to be and the fact that she claimed some members of the department were unethical is pretty hypocritical.
