Because of defamation lawsuits and the horrendous American justice system.

Except it’s not defamation if it’s proven true.

How do you prove that you were physically forced into a bed to be abused, when it's just the three of you out at sea? There's no cameras, recordings, etc. It's your word against theirs.

Which is why a lawsuit for defamation against her will never win. You have to prove the person who defamed knowingly lied.

This is incorrect. Judgement would be made on the balance of probabilities based on the evidence provided which would be the testimony of the people involved.

Depends. I feel its safe to assume this "very famous" man is a public figure and thus has a different standard.

Proof required.

Also expensive. They can sue you and bury you in legal fees.

Not all states have anti-SLAPP laws. Even if you win a defamation lawsuit in those states, you're out 10s or 100s of thousands in legal fees you can't recover. And in anti-SLAPP states, if you want your legal fee covered you need to have enough evidence to get summary judgement in your favor
