Kara Goucher Alleges Alberto Salazar Sexually Assaulted Her in Her New Book

At this point, I truly believe that people who react like this are people who want to take advantage of women themselves.

what other motive would you have to degrading credible people who allege abuse? make sure you cast them as attention seekers. Make Them the problem so no one looks at your actions.

does kara need attention? Nope. She was one of the best runners in the us who now has a job as an announcer. when she became a whistleblower she LOST opportunities and her image took a hit.

why on earth would she share such difficult moments, moments that are humiliating to her, if she is lying?

Lmao, you’re just mad you can’t harass women with impunity anymore

I take no position on whether Kara is telling the truth. However, as I told people in another thread just over a year ago, I knew all along it was Kara who made the sexual assault allegations. Kara alludes to it about 2:30 into this video. Some of you are not very astute on picking up clues. Kara is actually telling us in this video if anyone had paid attention. But she told us over and over elsewhere.

Seems still some misaligned history going on here? Because long after these allegations, didn’t it come out in public she had said something to the effect, “Alberto, I still love you.”

Kara thanks you for the support. But the book is still $28.

No, Title IX has ruined countless innocent males' lives. They often can't even provide evidence in their defense.

I will also add that Kara could of course be lying or engaging in hyperbole or have actually encouraged lewd behavior BUT Alberto is a fool for giving massages to Kara. What the hell was he thinking?

I ran more than a minute faster than her not that it matters but people seem to use that as a bar to discredit people her.

Her story is not believable. She is strong and outspoken. Yet this happened twice and only twice over a period of many years while her husband was also coached by him? If true, why would he wait years to do it a second time? Why didn't she tell her husband? She essentially lied to her husband for many years but we are suppossed to believe that she is now truthful with us.

Kobbs, on cue…

I see you’ve never worked in book publishing. Ever heard of James Frey? There have been tons of these fake memoir scandals, some just hushed up quieter than others.

But he’s not wrong in saying that she has something to gain from it. People are more likely to buy a sexual assault survivor’s book for one, and she gets a lot of publicity because media is obligated to report on it and place her on a pedestal for being brave. She has nothing to lose because anyone who gives a sexual assault survivor grief would be immediately canceled.

That's ridiculous. She has lots to lose. Look at the replies on here. What do you think her Twitter inbox looks like? Her Instagram? Her phone?

Women walk through the world getting unsolicited dick pics and harassed just about non-stop. They get assaulted, and people ask what they were wearing, if they had a drink, and if they led them on in every way. It's disgusting.

When you post stuff like this, it makes me wonder if you know or talk to any women on a regular basis.

Kara sometimes makes one question her veracity. In one interview she says she wants to tell “my truth.” OK….

And in promoting the book she tells SI “and then I felt like I was nothing without Alberto. I felt like: there is no Kara without Alberto.” So Alberto may indeed be a predator but it is palpably clear that Kara did not keep healthy boundaries, and again I am not blaming her, but she and Alberto were very close, and if something untoward happened between them, she might have kept silent because she felt she encouraged it or she blamed herself initially. Who knows?

Learned about this elsewhere but just came here to get the abuser/predator perspective. LRC once again didn't disappoint.

The rumors were always that they had an affair and things went sour.

I don’t believe her at all. She is selling a book and trying to stay relevant. There is no way to prove any of it. The number one way to get sympathy and attention, especially in 2023, is to claim to be a victim. Kara has always played the victim. She put up a whiny Instagram post a year ago about how being called “fat” gave her ptsd. That’s basically mocking real trauma survivors.

I was raped and sexually abused by multiple family members as a child, and I do not believe her at all. Lots of women make this sh!t up for attention, and once you’ve been in therapy groups with other survivors you can spot the fake stories a mile away.
