You better be nice to her, just in case.

By her own account, he did what? Lifted the top of her sleeve? In front of other people, including somebody with a camera? After they posed together in mutual embrace? Seems like that kinda devalues complaints of real harassment and assault.

It does. When you bring that up some people start claiming double standard.

I didn't think Franken should have resigned.

I have no opinion on if Franken should have resigned or not, but I do think he was engaging in inappropriate behavior, whereas NDT's "incident" with tattoo lady was probably completely innocent, as far as I can tell.

I wonder if the guitar player considered suing her:

Unless NDT is a known scapula & clavicle fetishist, ofc.
