...Thank God that the TV crew was there...
Though none of them, nor their employers, did jackshit to help her, their presence will surely have reduced the likelihood of her being beaten up, or worse, at least while still in camera range.
Whatever may or may not have occurred once out of the view of the lens, it is in my opinion, extremely unlikely that we will ever know the whole story of Tanisha's experiences.
Young girls, especially, even those who exhibit a lot of outward bravado, do not always tell such stories in their entirety.
I do hope that the show's viewers will include at least a few people with the resources to offer to help her seek redress, at the very least for the seizure and imprisonment itself, though doing so would not be without its own risks.
It was good to see her walk out of there, still Tanisha, or at least able to play herself on TV.
Cordelia is right. Tanisha is a very strong woman, and Cordelia is made of a much better quality material than I ever suspected, yet it would be hypocritical of me to praise her too highly, since one of my most oft-voiced complaints about "society today" is that the bar has sunk so low that common decency is regularly hailed as heroism.
