As far as I understand, of the two detailed accusations against Callaghan, one of the accusers did attempt "extortion" by saying that it was extremely upsetting and hurtful to see him become famous and praised with regards to his work, and wanted some money from his "fat HBO cheque" to offset her therapy bills, according to leaked direct messages. This is where the lawyer statement about "requests for money" comes from.
However I have zero sympathy for Callaghan, he engaged in wildly inappropriate behaviour, and I really don't give a shit that one of his victims tried to "extort" him for money. In fact, I even support her in trying to obtain some justice in this fucked up world. There are no threats or courses of action present in the message, it's just asking for monetary compensation. This also does not address the second detailed accusation in any way or form, nor does it adress the multiple other accusations that aren't as detailed.
Yeah, she shouldn't have to pay for therapy for an issue he caused her to have. I see that as entirely reasonable to ask for and he should want to do something to start the healing process for her. The lawyer's statement is gross.

Well said

Yeah the lawyers statement just shows that he's just trying to escape punishment or consequences. Gross indeed
