Ah, so you are diminishing Michelle's pain to a "lifetime movie plotline"? (sorry, this was real and not from some stupid fucking made-for-TV movie.) And saying that "stop" doesn't really mean "stop"?
I think if someone keeps trying to push you away, regardless of what you are doing, it means "Stop right there." Regardless of whether it means "Stop permanently" or "Stop for a little while", that magic word "STOP" is still there. You come across an octagonal sign with a red background and big white letters S T O P, does it mean "Well, maybe I'm just playing with you, and I don't really mean it"? Tell that to the cop as he writes you a ticket.
Look, say what you will about "I'm a girl and this is the stupid game I have to play" shit. They do that for a reason. It's not so they don't feel like a tramp, it's because they are confused and sometimes (let me emphasize that...) SOMETIMES are being pressured into that situation and made to believe that the boy won't like her anymore if she doesn't. Some women are so co-dependent that they need someone to pay attention to them in anyway possible. But if they say or gesture "STOP" or "NO", it means just that. It's not a game.
And if "Michelle" is an asshole for what happened... let me stop right there...
Now, sorry for the hijacking.
back to the original point...
Thoughts about Ms. King and what happened... Having not seen the movie, and not remembering the specific incident from the news, I can only go by what has been said here. Was she intoxicated? Were they offering her money? Do people just assume she'll perform sexual acts because she's an exotic dancer? (Exotic dancer does not equal prostitute.) I can't pass any judgement about the situation without knowing much more, and even then it would be difficult.
It's like any situation. You don't know what really went on unless you were there, and even then there are different sides to the story.
