My friend had been in a toxic relationship with this girl for three years. She was problematic, selfish, childish, and really judgmental of the people he got close to. She had no desire to be better or improve and he finally broke it off with her and moved on with his life. I was so happy for him at the time.

I found out later on he was still talking to her all the time and they were still really close despite him supposedly dropping her ass. This led to them having sexual intercourse again a few weeks later which almost led to his downfall.

She had a new boyfriend she wasn't telling him about and he came across some texts she sent a girlfriend of hers saying that she fucked my friend. To protect herself and with no empathy for how it'd impact his life she claimed he raped her.

Her new boyfriend went and blasted him all over social media for this. People he knew for years abandoned him without even hearing his side of the story. I saw him called names I feel no one deserves. He was depressed for months and even tried to off himself. He was only saved because the friend of the girl came out against her after that and showed that she said it was consensual.

One little lie could have destroyed everything he was and wanted to be in life. And even though it was debunked people are always going to be more weary around him despite being a truly kind soul.

I know it's shitty but after that I could never listen to the just the accuser's side and decide it was true ever again. When things like this happen I wonder how anyone could but that's just the victim culture world we live in.
