When Lemon asked Tarshis why she’s coming out with the alleged accusation now…some 45 years later and she said, “I was 19, I was scared and I thought no one would believe me. He was Mr. America, Mr. Jello. Why would anybody believe me? Take my word against his word? The second time, I kind of felt roped into by my own cards because I didn’t tell my parents. I didn’t want to tell my parents.” And then Lemon interrupted her:
Lemon: Can I ask you this, because — and please, I don’t mean to be crude, ok?
Tarshis: Yeah.
Lemon: Because I know some of you — and you said this last night, that he — you lied to him and said “I have an infection, and if you rape me, or if you do — if you have intercourse with me, then you will probably get it and give it to your wife.”
Tarshis: Right.
Lemon: And you said he made you perform oral sex.
Tarshis: Right.
Lemon: You know, there are ways not to perform oral sex if you didn’t want to do it.
Tarshis: Oh. Um, I was kind of stoned at the time, and quite honestly, that didn’t even enter my mind. Now I wish it would have.
Lemon: Right. Meaning the using of the teeth, right?
Tarshis: Yes, that’s what I’m thinking you’re –
Lemon: As a weapon.
Tarshis: Yeah, I didn’t even think of it.
Lemon: Biting.
Tarshis: Ouch.
Lemon: Yes. I had to ask. I mean, it is, yeah.
Tarshis: Yes. No, it didn’t cross my mind.
We all know that Lemon tends to say things are a bit questionable.
