BLP issues

The article contains several unsourced statements inappropriate for a BLP and needs to be pruned by someone familiar with this kind of material. --Randykitty (talk) 12:26, 20 August 2013 (UTC)

What are you talking about? It is VERY well sourced. A mild article.Finkellium (talk) 15:23, 21 August 2013 (UTC)

It contains unsourced statements that don't belong in a BLP (like "one of her many lovers"). --Randykitty (talk) 16:09, 21 August 2013 (UTC)
- You clearly didn't read the sources- you need to read them all. The entire point of her case is that they went after her because she had a lot of boyfriends not because there was any evidence. The many lovers are mentioned in every article that is sourced below. Please don't think, just read. Finkellium (talk) 15:12, 22 August 2013 (UTC)
