Deception
(50%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author uses sensationalist language such as 'graphic allegations of sexual assault' and 'a detailed account of abuse'. This creates a false sense of urgency and importance for readers to read on without providing any context or evidence for these claims. Secondly, the article quotes an anonymous accuser who has not been named in the lawsuit, which is misleading as it implies that there are more details available than what is actually stated in the complaint filed by Jane Doe. Thirdly, the author uses emotional manipulation by describing how 'serious pain' and being 'in last place' were felt by the accuser after her assault. This creates a false sense of empathy for the victim without providing any evidence to support these claims.
“Plaintiff grew increasingly sicker and felt extremely ill by the assault and battery she was experiencing”

Fallacies
(85%)
The article contains several fallacies. The author uses an appeal to authority by stating that the couple has denied these claims in a statement issued to the press though representatives for the Harrises did not immediately return Variety's requests for comment.

The article contains several fallacies.
Bias
(85%)
The article contains multiple examples of bias. The author uses language that dehumanizes the accuser and portrays her as a victim who is not to be believed. For example, when describing the alleged assault, the author writes 'Drugged and pinned down to the bed by Tiny' which implies that she was helpless and unable to fight back. The author also uses language like 'graphic allegations of sexual assault' which suggests that what happened is not true or exaggerated. Additionally, when describing how Jane Doe met the couple, the author writes 'she had been introduced to them by an associate named Caviar whom she had met at Coolio’s house the night before.' This implies that there was some sort of connection between her and this person which could be seen as a way to discredit her. The article also uses language like 'most recently' when describing other sexual assault lawsuits in the music industry, which suggests that these cases are not unique or significant.
