There is a big difference between an assumption from the public who didn't know her personally than from someone who does. Right now, anybody (including her daughter Christina and son Christopher) can say and write anything about Joan Crawford because as I've said before, she's not here to defend herself. Besides it doesn't really matter now because Joan Crawford is gone, and those occurrences with Christina had allegedly took place 72 years ago, and Christina is now 81 year old. If someone had a tormented childhood what was the use of her continually writing books, making talk show appearances repeatedly telling and reliving that physical and emotional pain that was supposedly had been inflicted on her. What was she trying to accomplished? Other than professional counseling, there was nothing else nobody could do.
