What would happen if Ana told the media about Christians Fetishes later?

After the breakup of Ana and Christian Grey at the end of the movie.

What would have the results have been if Ana had decided to tell the media (newspaper,Entertainments Tonight, the local news or just write a tell all book) all about her experiences with Christian Grey and his red room of pain?

The contract was a joke and couldnt be legally enforced anyway, any courtroom would laugh a lawsuit of Christians right out of court after seeing his dirty perversions and sexual fetishes, it would be at best defamation of character and because if was true it wouldnt really be even that.

Ana was broke and had no money, had bruises to prove her story and could name several people working for Christian that would back the story up, and his mother and brother and sister too, and her mother, you cant really sue a woman that is broke because they have nothing to lose, Christian would be humiliated and treated like a freak by the entire media, he would lose clients and money, it would ruin his reputation.

A lot of women would just run to the media after the breakup, the lawsuit would never stand in court and a broke woman wouldnt be taken for what little money she had, Ana meanwhile would profit off of it all, Christian would have to issue a denial and look guilty and fake doing it, not something he would like at all, he would look like a pervert to his family and the press and would have to pay Ana to settle it and drop things.

I always found his contract and lawyer crap stupid, nobody does that stuff over being a sexual deviant, he would freak out after his name appeared on the news and his story with her showed up on tv, Ana had nothing to lose and everything to gain by doing it, i know i would have done so.

Slave contracts are a real thing, just so you know.

And there's no reason that Gray should be embarrassed about having his preferences made public. Sure he'd rather keep his private life private, but he never did anything illegal or did anything to Anna that she didn't agree to, and it's not like his livelihood depends on keeping the good will of prudes.

Errrr he would sue because she has already signed the confidentiality agreement remember.

That was the point where I stopped watching the film. Just like you, I thought it was ridiculous pretense. But, even if the contract isn't legally binding, it's still important to make one, even if it's not written.

And, if you watch the film all the way to the end, you'll notice that she never actually signed it. Christian knew all along that the actual written contract is not actually what mattered.

" Christian would be humiliated and treated like a freak by the entire media, he would lose clients and money, it would ruin his reputation."

Agreed, but why would Anastasia do that to a man she loved, especially since she knew that he loved her too? This is not really a story about BDSM. It's a story about a young virgin who is lucky enough to find the man of her dreams, only to find that he is not ready for love. Don't forget the clause in the contract where it states that she cannot touch him without his express permission. It's one of the most important points of irony in the film.

Initially, when Anastasia first meets Christian in his office, we have the impression that Anastasia is far too shy. Eventually we realize that Christian is the one who is too timid. We know he loves Anastasia, but he is not brave enough to tell her so, and he's too afraid to commit to a relationship that he cannot control. His playroom is the only place in his rather small world, where he is the sole master. Yet, as you've just finished pointing out, he really can't do anything to her without her express permission. So, like it or not, she is not really his slave, and he can't stop her from leaving him.
