Reasoning
Barden advises public denial to avoid investigation, citing risk of 'guilty by association.' The reference to 'her lie' indicates an accuser exists but provides no detail on the underlying allegation. This is consistent with general legal defense strategy. Without specifics on the allegations or victims, and given the context is legal maneuvering, score remains at thread prior (0.25).
