But she hasn't ruined his life? She's ruined hers. In a weird and warped way, the fact all this has played out is a good thing. The producers dealt with it well, and did so cleverly in a way that gave her enough rope to do the rest. Not only has she exposed herself, but she's also opened the floodgates to allow people who've had prior experience with her to tell their story, almost like her own #MeToo. What's more is it's started a national (well, kind of) conversation about how these kinds of false accusations are real, and are really not okay. She will now have to face the music and realise that, and anyone else watching will see that too.

Ryan on the other hand hasn't had his life ruined, and when he emerges as the winner, a few days where he was castigated in the Big Brother house are going to be a long and distant memory. Meanwhile, the press attention will now be gone, the chance at her being held accountable will be gone, and dare I say it any chance at the contract being renewed will be gone. Who's the winner here?

This has played out on a much deeper level than it appears at face value. Unfortunately I don't think many people are capable of seeing the nuances.
