Having either been abused as a child, or witnessing the abuse of a mother or mother-figure as a child, the girl is very likely to grow up and seek out abusive companions. The money will make little difference, although his fame and popularity may continue to shield him if he abuses her further, a fate that may have been changed by the amount of negative publicity that he is receiving. Nicole Brown-Simpson's husband was wealthy and famous and abused her for years. His money and fame probably did not mean much to her when he finally stabbed her to death.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
