As is quite clear from the photograph, =his is not a case of photobombing, which involves intruding on someone =lse's selfie or photograph without their knowledge or =ermission. Rather, it appears that these women were both aware =nd happy to have a me take a picture with them, presumably at their =equest, as shown by the fact that the woman in the center has her arm =round me in a friendly way. Second, if I remember our interview =orrectly, I believe Ms. Thompson stated that this photo was =aken after she claims she witnessed me =ouch someone's breast inappropriately. If that is the =ase, then this photo is further evidence that Ms. Thomson's =ccount of the alleged groping incident is not credible, since both seem =uite happy to be posing for a picture with me, without any sign of =eing upset. Quite the contrary. More important, it also demonstrates =nce again that Ms. Thomson distorts and misrepresents her and my =xperiences at that meeting. This is as much an example of =hotobombing as the earlier photograph was an example of groping. =nbsp;It is hard to imagine why this picture would be used to support =ny allegation by Ms. Thomson against me.
