About Gayle:
One of the most popular cricketers of the current era, due to his explosive and entertaining batting style.
About the incident:
So, a massage therapist, alleged that Gayle 'partially exposed' himself (how else do you get a massage, in a burqa?), making her 'uncomfortable'.
He maintains frame and deny everything, instead of having a meltdown. As his teammate was with him in the dressing room at the time of incident, he knew he had nothing on him.
She then goes for the classic, toxic femininity trait, 'public shaming', for that she 'hires' 3 newspapers as white knights (real reason for their vendetta, was that in the past, he jokingly told one of their journalists, to not to blush in front of him). You can imagine what they published after this.
Gayle was still calm and sued all of them and won a hefty amount ($210,000). The judgement was given on the ground that newspapers failed to corroborate their articles as 'defense of truth'.
Aggrieved by the decision, all of them preferred an appeal on the ground, that his lawyer attacked a full throttled attack on 'victim's credibility' during the closing address in front of the jury.
While agreeing with this defense, court of appeals still rejected this appeal, and maintained the compensation.
Takeaways:
As rightly said by uncle Vasya, 'Only Chumps get taken down in courts'. (That doesn't mean, you will behave like an autist)
No need to cater to journalists, who are suffering from 'God complex' , and who want to destroy your life only for the sake of virtue signalling.
Shut the hell up, lawyer up, read that old yet relevant post.
Women/low SMV people can literally do anything to exploit high SMV people.
