Without taking any position on this specific case, there have been times where I wished I blew the lid on a horrible situation instead of just walking away.
I know a man who just got accused of sexual harassment and said (in effect) "fuck this" and walked away from the job. (Everyone I talked to, even extremely progressive women, thought that the accusation against him was bullshit.) It wasn't worth it to him to prove himself right because doing so would have opened up the accusation to the public and a bunch of people would have thought him guilty, even without evidence.
It was the right decision for him and his family. But if this person doesn't need to support a family, maybe it's the right thing for her to do.
