The same can be said about Ford. Some believe her and others thinks she's lying for political gain. Some believe she is a criminal and this will follow her no matter what career path she takes. She stand to lose the same thing than Kavanaugh, her job and her reputation if she isn't widely believed. Even people who have placed legitimate and completly recognised allegation of sexual misconduct against them have seen their lives and careers destroyed. On the opposite end of the spectrum many people convicted of grave sexual offenses have managed to have succesful careers and lives afterward (Mike Tyson is pretty much an example of that).
In the end, when accusations are made some people will believe them and others won't. Public personnas who derive their power, prestige and money from their reputation are those most likely to lose from those accusations, but at the same time this reputation can allow them to victimise people more easily and in more impunity. he who lives by the sword dies by the sword; he who lives off his reputation dies by it.
