I personally won't judge her until an official statement comes out, but as of right now, as much as I hate to say it, things are not looking so good. It doesn't really matter what people believe, it all comes down to hard-evidence because that is all that really matters to prove if something is real or not, no matter how hard it may be to take in. This should have never gone public but there's nothing that can be done about that now.
I don't know why many people are saying that "the past is the past" or "leave the past behind." IF she did do it, there is no way she, or anyone who truly supports her, can "leave it behind."
Do we forget about our past accomplishments, do we forget about MAJOR things that happened to us in the past (whether it be good or bad); do we really just leave those behind and not ever bring it back up again? Is it not true that the past is what made you who you are today? Yes, we all made mistakes in the past, some more severe than others, but we don't just "leave it behind" and forget about it, we take it with us, everyday, and we learn from it (so it doesn't happen again). All I'm saying is that it's not something we can just say "who cares" to. IF it is true and if you care about her, you should acknowledge the fact that she did it, and like what the OP said, forgive her.
Things are going to be hard on her either way this issue goes and it'd be the best if this whole thing just faded away quickly afterwards, but we all know it won't.
As with many others, I will support her either way.
Be strong!
