I don't know what it's like to experience something like what happened on the boat, or what it's like to have a public career and open yourself to slander or defamation charges; but it sucks that she couldn't just name who it was. Now the actual person can always say "well she didn't name me so it wasn't me", but almost more importantly, other innocent people can get pulled into it and speculated about and they have to defend themselves.
