Was she asked about the criminal issues you mentioned (domestic assault and driving drunk)? If she was and dismissed criticism then I agree that's not a good look.
As for the lawsuit I didn't know any of the details so I did a short search. Looks like she lost 'solo', but a collective similar suit filed by other players won. She took a stand and imho nothing wrong with that. But agree to disagree. 🍻

The domestic was glossed over. The DUI was not mentioned. The team chemistry, as far as personal relations, that is what intrigues me, also. Megan Rapinoe, who given a mic, is ALL about it, I'll leave it at that, and a few others declined to participate in this special. I understand there probably are a million reasons for declining, I wish I knew them. There are so many, one cannot fairly speculate.

Rebel Ridge:
An ex-Marine grapples his way through a web of small-town corruption when an attempt to post bail for his cousin escalates into a violent standoff with the local police chief.
Very taut writing, I was more than pleased with this movie. Nitpick: did it HAVE to be white cops and a black dude? Used a sledgehammer when a regular hammer would have delivered the same message. That being said, lots of procedure to make illegal things legal, and that is what really drives the movie. It's not just payoffs and wink-winks. It's THOROUGH. Very intellectual, and that's why I loved it. Highly recommend.

Aloha:
A celebrated military contractor returns to the site of his greatest career triumphs and reconnects with a long-ago love while unexpectedly falling for the hard-charging Air Force watchdog assigned to him.
ALL STAR cast, came out in 2015, dunno how I missed it. Part rom-com, part scathing criticism of US/Hawai'i relations (as per natives and mainlanders). I found it to be really good. Emma Stone's character almost made me shut it off at first, but as that character developed, ok, I see where this is going. One scene at the end was absolutely phenomenal, has to do with "guy communication." Yeah, that's how we work at times.
Don't let the rom-com part scare you off. It's worth seeing.

Going Marching In Mariachi:
In the world high school mariachi, musicians from South Texas reigns supreme. Under guidance of coach Abel Acuña, the Edinburg North High School team must turn shoestring and diverse inexperienced musicians into state champions.
First off, those kids are gooooood. Second off, this is a world that I didn't know that existed. I know of mariachi, but not at the high school level. Yes, it's "band" but mariachi style. Whoa. That's awesome. Showed successes and failures, it's just a year in the life. Love those docs that don't really point out a bias or anything, we're just going to show what happens.

Uglies:
A world in which a compulsory operation wipes out physical differences and makes everyone pretty.
Comes in hot'n'heavy with forewarnings about what is to come for the main characters, and then it's rebels/government, hippies/establishment, etc etc. Then they completely waste the ending, despite the viewer knowing what they intended to do/say.
I did like the meat of the movie, and the action overall is superb. The ending negated all of that. I still give it a thumbs up overall, but it was a half-assed thumbs up, instead of an enthusiastic one.

The Deliverance:
An Indiana family discovers strange, demonic occurrences that convince them and their community that the house is a portal to hell.
Based on a true story. Going into it, thought it was a pure horror/suspense movie, and it wasn't. Delved into some social aspects, sometimes TOO hard, but it didn't distract from the story itself. I thought the acting was good, the buildup a little too long, but the payoff was grand.
There was a bit of controversy over a line Glenn Close's character said, that it was a little too racial, and frankly, no big deal in my opinion. Let's just say Ice Cube had a song whose title had the term as part of the title. (Hint: it was on the Death Certificate album).
Good watch.

Brawl In Cell Block 99:
A former boxer-turned-drug runner lands in a prison battleground after a deal gets deadly.
Stars Vince Vaughn. I had my doubts at his chops as a character like this, as he is bald and a big-ass cross tattoo on the back of his skull. As the movie went on, I became convinced. He does do the trademark VV wink, I laughed at that, I admit.
Don Johnson has a role in here, too, and he plays his usual bad-ass/no mercy self, which has been common in the last few years.
There are a LOT of scenes where "limbs shouldn't bend that way" and some graphic violence in short spurts, so fair warning.
All in all, VV's character is the focus of this movie. Where do you draw the line, when do you accept responsibility, and what are the consequences?

Into The Fire: The Lost Daughter:
A tenacious mother unravels the complex mystery surrounding the 1989 disappearance of the daughter she had placed for adoption.
The mother in unhinged, for sure. Not as unhinged as the criminal, but unhinged. Even the police say she bordered on harassment, etc. Blaming the obviously gaslit wife of said criminal...THAT BEING SAID, I understand her tenacity, and don't blame her for doing what she did. There is a limit though. One has to recognize that circumstance.
A horrific documentary, and it makes my blood boil to know there are people out there like this.

Breaking And Re-entering (Taiwanese movie, so subtitles):
A gang breaks into a bank, robs it, gets double-crossed during the robbery, and has to return the money.
This is sort of an Ocean's Eleven, first to break in, and second, to return the money. I thought it would a more serious movie, but it is action/comedy, which also works (similar to the previously mentioned Ocean's Eleven). A heads-up, depending on how many Asian movies one has seen, will depend on how used to you are in how they tell a story. It's just a little different style.
I enjoyed it, especially all the creative ways they execute their plans. Worth the time to watch.

Jailbreak: Love On The Run:
When Vicky White, a highly respected corrections officer, aids the escape of a violent felon nearly twenty years her junior, it reveals an unexpected love story amidst the ensuing high-profile manhunt and media frenzy.
I expected a TMZ-like quick rundown with a lot of re-enactments, and this...not so much. A LOT of real recordings, footage, etc. Much more depth than one has read in the newspapers, and I think it was really well done. My personal belief is that that they really did love one another, especially since he didn't ditch her for many days after his escape, and hearing the phone records, etc. Did he prey on her? I do believe so; but I think he didn't think he'd love her at first, and then whoops, feelings.
Good watch. Not a must see, but it's not trash TV, so to speak.

Rez Ball:
The Chuska Warriors, a Native American high school basketball team from New Mexico, must band together after losing their star player if they want to keep their quest for a state championship alive.
I guess it's based on a true story, it's pretty good. Yeah, you know the ending that's coming and such, but it does deal with real rez (Native American Reservation) issues, like suicide and alcoholism, with stark reality. Shows some rawness, and the action of the b-ball games is pretty good. They kinda made the main opponent a little "too white" (total stereotype), but I'll let it slide. Dramatic effect. Think: A Duke player with a bigger ego. 😉

Lost Girls:
After Mari Gilbert's daughter disappears, police inaction drives her own investigation into the gated Long Island community where Shannan was last seen. Her search brings attention to over a dozen murdered sex workers.
Based on a true story. Well done, wish it had a bigger budget (I'm guessing) to flesh out some of the finer points of the story, it seemed abridged. There is one little factoid of the story, that was a bit "whoa" in the after-credits, that was just as tragic as the main story, IMO. Obviously not going to spoil it, but it was a "holy sh*" moment.
It's a good watch.

Escape Plan:
When a structural-security authority finds himself set up and incarcerated in the world's most secret and secure prison, he has to use his skills to escape with help from the inside.
Stallone and Ah-nold star. Two Vinnies, too: Jones and D'Onofrio.
That being said, I went into it thinking, "Well, I can always find something else to watch." I was pleasantly surprised for the first 3/4 of the movie. Intelligent, despite some "yeah, that was obvious" moments, and then the last 1/4 of the movie was standard 1980s action movie. However, the ending did redeem most, if not all of the flaw.
The only other SUPER-nitpick: the warden in the super-prison...can he attempt to be any MORE like Tom Cruise in a movie?! The mannerisms, the smugness, the sorta kinda trying "look"....

Platform 2 (Spanish movie, so subtitles):
A thrilling physical journey that allows an approach to the darkness, where it is scary to look. It appeals to the viewer's civil responsibility and forces them to face the limits of their own solidarity.
DEFINITELY need to see Platform first (In a prison where inmates are fed on a descending platform, those on the upper levels take more than their fair share while those below are left to starve on scraps, and one man decides to change the system.), otherwise this second one will make no sense on the greater level.
A bit more gruesome and graphic than the first, but it does deliver the message it intends to. There is a major twist about halfway through, and completely flips the script. A complete "whoa" moment.
I hope there isn't a Platform 3, I think the story ends with this one. Highly recommend, puts you in a position: what would YOU do?

See For Me:
When blind Sophie cat-sits a secluded house, thieves break in. Her defense is Kelly, an army vet,, who helps her survive, via an app.
Very much similar to "Hush" (A deaf and mute writer who retreated into the woods to live a solitary life must fight for her life in silence when a masked killer appears at her window. Ed's note: phenomenal), love the suspense, the drama, etc.
I started out the night with:
It's What's Inside:
A group of friends gather for a pre-wedding party that descends into an existential nightmare when an estranged friend arrives with a mysterious game that awakens long-hidden secrets, desires, and grudges.
Garbage. Pure trash. Twists and turns just so the movie could say they had twists and turns. I forced myself to watch about half of it before virtually smashing it on the ground.

I concur that It's What's Inside was turrible.
Escape Plan 2: Hades:
Years after he fought his way out of an inescapable prison, Ray Breslin has organized a new top-notch security force. But when one of his team members goes missing, Breslin must return to the hell he once escaped from.
Stallone and 50 Cent are back, add a dash of Dave Bautista (former WWE wrestler, actually not a bad actor, also was in The Man With The Iron Fists, great movie), and you have a decent sequel. Admittedly, nothing groundbreaking here, but it is entertaining, trying to follow the mind games, which is balanced by the action.
There is at least one more sequel, and yes, I look forward to it. Pure popcorn, baby, and I am eating all the kernels.
Ok, that was cheesy, but it fits the mood of these movies.

Escape Plan: The Extractors:
After security expert Ray Breslin is hired to rescue the kidnapped daughter of a Hong Kong tech mogul from a formidable Latvian prison, Breslin's girlfriend is also captured.
Might as well finish the series. This time, they don't escape, they extract. Gee, I didn't get THAT from the title. 😉
It was alright, definite end to the series, as it ties in heavily to the first installment. More action than intellect, which follows the sequel route of things of this nature. Worth seeing if one is a completionist.

Abandoned:
After a young couple moves into a remote farmhouse with their infant son, the woman's struggles with postpartum psychosis begin to intensify...as the house reveals secrets of its own.
Real slow burn, but unfortunately, the "big twist" you could see a mile away. And then the ending...good golly, Miss Molly, they didn't know how to end it, so whatever, there it is. I think there was a lot of potential, and no payoff. No good execution. And get ready for half the movie involving a crying baby. I'd pass.

Trouble:
Conny, a divorced salesman, gets wrongfully imprisoned for murder. There, he meets criminals who mistake him for a pilot like his ex-wife's new boyfriend. Chaos ensues as he navigates life behind bars while separated from his daughter.
Kind of a dramedy. Serious story, some humor. Sort of like a Lethal Weapon type thing. Swedish, so subtitles. It was entertaining, and the humor was put in places one would not necessarily expect it to be, which is a plus. That being said, the characters did their things in such a dumb way (thereby creating the comedy)...worth a watch.

Yonkers Joe:
Family life gets in the way of a con man's search for the perfect scam.
It was advertised as a "nod to the old school gamblers" (well, hustlers, let's face it). Chazz Palminteri stars, and well, he plays Chazz. 😉 I did love the angles he and his crew use, apparently a real-life "mechanic" (person who manipulates cards/dice) showed them the moves.
Predictable ending, but still interesting and endearing. It's a decent watch.

Monkey Man (Prime):
An anonymous young man unleashes a campaign of vengeance against the corrupt leaders who murdered his mother and continue to systematically victimize the poor and powerless.
It's an intellectual Indian John Wick movie. Set in India, it incorporates their culture/legend stories within the movie, while this young man just goes out and kicks ass. Awkward at first, but hones his skills, and boom, there he goes. I enjoyed it, even though I didn't really know the stories behind their gods (they explain enough for you to sorta get it, though). Produced by Jordan Peele, which caught my attention.
I feel the director had some personal drive for this movie, and Jordan recognized that, and pushed it to be more readily available.

It was written, directed and starred Dev Patel. I saw this in a theater on a big screen with Dolby. Wow, it was intense. Agree with you, wish I knew the legends and stories better. The film gave the basics for those of us who aren’t Hindu, but I know I missed details.Monkey Man (Prime):

The Shadow Strays (Indonesian movie)
Codename 13, a 17-year-old assassin, is suspended due to a sloppy mission in Japan. She meets 11-year-old Monji, who loses his mother, and sets out to rescue him.
Decent plot, but OMG, I'm sorry, but if you're 10-20 feet away with a full automatic spray-n-pray gun, and trained, you are not missing your targets. I don't expect 100% realism, or even believability, but this was redonkulous in that aspect. Aside from that, good fight scenes, it does get a passing grade for a popcorn movie. It is longer (about 2 1/2 hours), but doesn't really seem like it.

Catching Hell In The City Of Angels (Prime):
This documentary feature film tells a story of life and death in South Central Los Angeles. A struggle beyond the nearby Hollywood limelight among people for whom state intervention comes mostly with a siren attached.
Russell Simmons is behind it, so that is some trustworthy credit there. It's raw. They got real gang members to talk, obviously cops talked a bit. There are a couple situations, and you will probably wonder, "they let them put that out there?" It's a less sensationalistic "Cops" episode that runs about 90 minutes.
I will say, for any hip-hop fans, South Cen (Watts in particular)...yeah, you already know the situation.

A Sacrifice:
American social psychologist Ben Monroe investigates a local cult connected to a disturbing event, while his daughter becomes embroiled with a mysterious local boy.
It could have been great, but it was just okay. Came SO close to what it wanted to be, and something was just lacking. It does show how easily one could find themselves in a cult, that is a positive (so to speak) of the movie. But, given the occupation of one of the main characters, how could you not identify this? One of the major flaws in this story.
Give it a whirl, maybe I was in the wrong mood to watch it, but it did not reach its potential.

Unhinged:
After a confrontation with an unstable man at an intersection, a woman becomes the target of his rage.
Russel Crowe stars, and he does a great job with his character. Trouble with the movie, there are only so many plot holes that one can forgive. For me, the message of the movie was pushed harder than the movie itself, and that just makes for a not-great movie. This one kind of reminded me of "Falling Down" with Michael Douglas/Robert Duvall (although I definitely have a different take on that presentation of the story).
I'd say this one is worth a time-killer at best.

Don't Move:
A seasoned killer injects a grieving woman with a paralytic agent. She must run, fight and hide before her body shuts down.
Standard kidnapping movie, the cliches are there, with the plan not working like the kidnapper wanted it to, a couple close calls, etc. The method of obtaining and subduing the kidnappee was good, though. Similar to the movie "Kate" where an assassin is poisoned, and she has to have her revenge before dying, the obvious differences in characters being obvious. 😉
Good watch, only 90 minutes, so not much a waste of your time if you're not into it....

Robin Hood (2018)
A war-hardened Crusader and his Moorish commander mount an audacious revolt against the corrupt English crown.
While still set in the time of the story we've all heard, parts have been modernized for more action/creativity/etc. I didn't mind it, since the plot was pretty much an origin story. However, a nit that picked at me, was that Hood's mask was off MUCH of the time he was committing crimes, and he didn't kill EVERYONE during these heists, and I'm pretty sure he was well known enough that some soldier could ID him.
Also, since John (a Moor) was never masked...honestly, government, look for the unmasked Moor that is openly seen helping out on some of these heists/escapes. You might get somewhere.
THAT being said, it was entertaining, at least they were trying to be a little original in their telling of the story. Decent watch.
