I guess the DJ D--bag got his comeuppance, but here is the question I have: this incident took place in a public forum with many witnesses so why didn't she just give the guy a good, 'swift' slap across the face and a thorough verbal dressing down?  (Or at least summon her security detail.)  You think that wouldn't have 'gone viral'?  Of course, it would have been a huge deal - and an excellent example of how to deal with a lecherous, hands-y sexist pig.  Instead, she smiled and let the incident pass.  Swift is a celebrity with enormous wealth and power, which she used to great effect with her frivolous lawsuit.  I'm just saying: if you're a shop girl working for minimum wage the courts are not a realistic option.  A slap to the face of the perpetrator, on the other hand, is free and, in the moment at least, a visceral and satisfying bit of justice.
