Rita Fiores behaviour (SPOILER)


Why did Rita Fiora behave like she did when she visited Stone? Why did she pull her skirt up and sit in his lap? A lawyer doing that, knowing that the family of that kid is angry towards Stone?

I am confused. Do the books explain?

Just my opinion: but, I gather she had a romantic interest in him separate from their legal/courtroom relationship. That DOES happen, you know.

Still it doesn't justify acting like a whore. It was out of place and demeaning to smart women. Actually all women... Silly writing to excite the audience but it wasn't really necessary. Could've been done much better.

The people you idolize wouldn't like you.

That was really raunchy. This is the first Stone movie I've seen. Every female seems to be after him. The lady cop is flirting with him. Kind of. But the lawyer definitely went beyond flirting.

The Mimi Rogers character, Rita Fiore, had a sexual attraction to Jesse Stone, it's not hard to figure out. So she came on to him, that doesn't make her a whore or what she did raunchy.

It's ridiculous the amount of women who throw themselves at him, he's a pussy magnet which is quite something for a depressed alcoholic cop in a small town. In the first two movies alone he has a teenage student come on to him in a bar and asks him to "go somewhere" with her, he bangs the hot chick at the police station the day they meet, the first town party he attends a hot blonde starts chewing his ear and asking him for sex, and finally a hot lawyer just rocks up at his house for no apparent reason, hoists her skirt up and straddles him. Eye rolling stuff.

It is ridiculous. Sometimes multiple women in one show. The few seconds of flirting is so accelerated you don’t even realize the actress is supposed to be portraying an attraction before she’s taking her shirt off in the next scene
