You think I’m on trial,” Willis testified.
I’m not on trial, no matter how hard you try to put me on trial.”For many Black women, the inquiries into Willis' romantic and financial life were rife with tropes and accusations often unfairly levied at Black women.
“When white power, particularly white men, are being held to account ... the first thing to do is to disqualify the people that are holding them accountable,” especially when those people are Black women.
Scrutiny of Willis' personal life has diverted attention away from the allegations against Trump.
