Her lawyer’s statements in the media are meant to obfuscate the actual issue at hand. He is making it about whether or not she tried to steal a bike and whether or not she actually paid for said bike, but even he has to know on some level that’s not the real issue.

Here we see the mental gymnastics damage control. I doubt major media outlets are dumb enough to double down like this now that the women has lawyered up. Hopefully they sue Monique "Eats Too Much Fudge" Judge here too.
