Monet didn't know about the rape. All she knew is that Kristen was upset and didn't want to talk to Billy. Even if Monet knew about the rape, that was Kristen's personal business and not Monet's place to tell. Monet took her just to point the guy out that called her a black b*tch.
How can anyone be sure that Fudge and the rest knew about the rape? I don't believe they knew. They grabbed the guy for calling Monet a black b*tch.
What keeps bugging me is this. Let's for a minute say that Fudge and everybody DID know about the rape. Though Kristen was naive, how could anyone expect Fudge would protect Kristen when at the beginning of the film, her mindset and body language clearly suggested that she thought that every black guy would probably snatch her purse.
That is an outrageous stereotype to place on someone she didn't even know and who was not thinking anything like robbery in a damned elevator. How is it that she would then look to black guys who she perceived would rob her to now protect her after being raped by one of her own?
She didn't know Billy that well but she was drinking, fully free and open, putting up no guard (until it was too late). She trusted and was totally vulnerable to the very one that would rape her instead of the one she falsely thought would rob her. Maybe if she'd had the same protective clutch on her goodies as she did on that purse that nobody wanted, things might have gone down differently.
Now before you all get started, NO I am not saying she deserved to be violated and raped because she absolutely did not but people need to understand before placing anything like blame or criticism on Fudge, her own two so-called "friends" owed more responsibility to the situation than Fudge did.
Instead of criticizing him, rearrange the order enough to criticize the "friends" that mentioned that it might not be safe and then laughed. They didn't bother to intervene or check up on her but people wanna blame Fudge. Also recognize that Malik also did not deserve to be looked at as a purse snatching crook just because he was black. You cannot expect special treatment just becuz you are whatever. That goes for Kristen as well.
