Dwight "Doc" Gooden revisited a major scandal from 1991 that had profound personal and professional impacts. Gooden, then 27, recounted a night out that spiraled into serious allegations. Gooden clarified that he, along with two teammates, engaged in consensual relations with a woman later identified as another teammate's girlfriend. The allegation of assault surfaced, which Gooden described as a nightmarish and stressful period, exacerbated by other personal and professional challenges, including the loss of his grandmother. Ultimately, the case was dropped after others came forward to corroborate Gooden’s account, but the episode left a lasting emotional scar. Gooden expressed regret but maintained his innocence, underscoring how quickly a career and life can be jeopardized by allegations.
