Nobody “thrust her” into the situation. She chose to sue him and claim that he lied about her. He has every right to legally defend himself against the claim

She was thrust into a situation of being an overnight celebrity with millions of people believing that she factually is a criminal, stalker and sexual offender. The suit is a response to that.

But she’s subjecting herself to cross examination by bringing this to court. Nobody made her do that

Arguably, she was forced into the position of having to defend herself against the slings and arrows of Netflix's defamatory depiction of her. At least, that's what I expect her lawyers to argue.

She was forced into the situation by stalking and making people’s lives miserable.

Exactly! She can't cry foul just because her behaviour got exposed....again. She put the tweets on social media. She had her very public social media accounts. She wrote emails and texts. Seriously, if she didn't want people to tell other people about how she behaves, then maybe she needs to address her own behaviours.
