Yeah. It was bad. Regardless of the extent to which her memoirs should not be taken as gospel (they are demonstrably factually wrong at some points), there's also a danger of falling prey to the tendency to disbelieve the victims of abuse and side with their abusers. And we know for a fact it was bad. :/
