Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. What text do you want to be changed, if any?

Article Cites Opinion or Unreliable Source
Article appears to attempt to depict subject with contempt by citing opinion article from unreliable or questionable author.
The following source is an opinion piece originally from The Daily Wire's Ben Shapiro. Source is known for inaccuracy of information and entrenched bias. Citations from the opinion piece use loaded language and appears to use the opinion as fact:

Confusion from inconsistently describing the same woman as: Blake's fiancée; his girlfriend; the mother of his children; sexual-assault complainant; 911 caller; etc.
The woman described as initially calling police to report Blake on the day of the shooting is the same woman described as having accused him of sexual assault, as being the mother of his children, as his girlfriend or fiancée, and as the woman who ignored a subpoena and refused to cooperate when prosecuting him. This needs to be clarified for the article to make sense, and something like "mother of Blake's children" is cumbersome to keep repeating throughout the article. She has done [https://www.imdb.com/name/nm11843317/ a number] of [https://www.tmj4.com/news/local-news/jacob-blake-fiance-says-kenosha-police-officer-shot-man-in-front-of-children interviews] under her real name, which has been [https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/11/us/jacob-blake-kenosha-shooting-events/index.html widely] [https://nypost.com/2020/08/25/fiancee-says-jacob-blake-was-shot-in-front-of-kids-for-no-reason/ reported by] [https://kenoshareporter.com/stories/550296635-jacob-blake-s-fiance-has-criminal-record-sued-him-for-child-support numerous] [https://abcnews.go.com/US/abc-news-exclusive-jacob-blake-speaks-1st-time/story?id=75244637 RS], but I'm not familiar enough with WP:BLP guidance to be completely confident that naming her is the correct course of action—so please weigh in. If naming her isn't kosher, let's come up with an alternate way of clarifying that it's the same woman being described throughout the article. Suggestions much appreciated!
